The Best Metaphysical Halloween Costumes

Because Apparently a Sheet With Two Eyeholes Isn't Spiritually Evolved Enough

Halloween is already one of the most metaphysical holidays of the year. We spend the evening surrounded by ghosts, witches, spirits, magic, mysterious creatures, candles, moonlight and people willingly paying $14 for a pumpkin-spice cocktail.

So why settle for being another vampire?

This Halloween, Make Peace With Life™ thinks it's time to raise your costume's vibration.

Here are a few metaphysical costumes worthy of your spiritual weirdness.

The Human Chakra System — Dress completely in black and attach seven brightly colored chakra symbols from your root to your crown. When someone asks what you are, tell them you're energetically aligned. If one of the circles falls off during the party, announce that you're experiencing a blockage.

Mercury in Retrograde — Dress as the planet Mercury and spend the entire night walking backward. Blame yourself whenever someone's phone doesn't work, their ex texts them, or the party's Wi-Fi goes down. This costume also gives you permission to accept responsibility for absolutely nothing.

A Walking Crystal — Cover yourself in shiny purple material and become a giant amethyst. Whenever someone gets stressed, stand beside them and announce, “Don't worry. I'm absorbing that.” Bonus points if you mysteriously appear next to anyone having relationship drama.

Your Higher Self — Wear the nicest version of whatever you normally wear, add a ridiculous amount of glowing light, and carry a sign saying “YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME.” Spend the evening giving your regular self advice you've been ignoring for the last ten years.

The Law of Attraction — Cover yourself with magnets. Whenever someone asks about your costume, stick random objects to yourself and say, “I attract what I put into the Universe.” Just stay away from refrigerators.

An Aura — Wear layers of brightly colored, flowing fabric and surround yourself with battery-powered lights. Whenever somebody gets too close, politely inform them, “You're in my energetic field.” This also works remarkably well when somebody wants the last piece of pizza.

A Psychic Medium — Crystal ball. Dramatic scarf. Mysterious jewelry. Then spend the entire party predicting incredibly obvious things: “I sense... someone here will consume too much candy tonight.” Your accuracy rate will be phenomenal.

Schrödinger's Cat — For the metaphysical crowd that enjoys adding quantum physics to the party. Cat ears plus a cardboard box. Are you alive? Are you dead? Nobody knows until somebody opens the box. Mostly, you're just going to have difficulty getting through doorways.

Bigfoot Seeking Enlightenment — Bigfoot costume, meditation beads and a yoga mat. Explain that after decades of hiding in the forest, you've finally realized the real journey was inward. At Make Peace With Life™, Octo-foot would strongly approve.

And finally...

The Spiritually Enlightened Ghost — Take the classic white-sheet ghost costume and add crystals, chakra symbols, meditation beads and perhaps a Make Peace With Life™ shirt. Instead of yelling “BOO!”, float toward people and whisper:

“You need to release what no longer serves you.”

Then steal their candy.

Halloween Might Already Be Metaphysical

Halloween gives us permission to play with things we spend the rest of the year taking far too seriously—death, spirits, mystery, identity, transformation and the unknown.

For one night, you can become something completely different.

Maybe that's part of Halloween's spiritual magic.

We put on a costume, temporarily step outside our everyday identity and remember that life doesn't always have to be so serious.

So this Halloween, raise your vibration.

Open your chakras.

Charge your crystals.

Consult the Universe.

Dress like something completely ridiculous.

And remember one of the most important teachings in the entire Make Peace With Life™ philosophy:

Enlightenment is great... but enlightenment with a full-size Snickers bar is considerably better.

Happy Metaphysical Halloween from Make Peace With Life™!
