Witch’s almanac: a November correspondence list you can actually use
Stones: citrine, cat’s eye, and topaz. Citrine and topaz are the traditional November birthstones. Cat’s eye stones show a thin band of light that shifts as you tilt them, which suits long dark evenings.
Animals: snake, eel, goose, and raccoon. Think of fall migration, winter shelter, and nighttime activity.
Flower: chrysanthemum, the November birth flower. It can be toxic to cats and dogs, so use it as decor and keep it out of reach.
Deities: Anubis, Inanna, Kali, and Pluto. Each one connects to death, time, or the underworld. Call on them as energies, not literal beings, and adapt them to what you believe.
You don’t need all of it. Pick one stone or one animal and build a small altar around it. Learning what each item means to you is part of the practice.

In my experience working with the November correspondence list, each element brings a unique and potent energy to seasonal witchcraft. Citrine and topaz, both vibrant yellow stones, are known not just as birthstones for November but also for their association with abundance, vitality, and clarity. Citrine’s warmth can uplift long, dark evenings, while cat’s eye stones add a mesmerizing shimmer that seemingly moves with you, perfect for meditations on shifting energies. The selection of animals like snakes and raccoons resonates deeply with late autumn themes. I’ve found the snake especially compelling as a symbol of transformation and hidden knowledge during this time of the year when nature slows down and prepares for renewal. Eels and geese remind us of migrations and survival instincts, while raccoons’ cleverness and adaptability seem perfect as we confront the changing season. Chrysanthemums—a vivid November flower—add color and meaning to any altar but require caution for pet owners due to their toxicity. Including them as a symbolic decoration, rather than fresh-cut flowers within reach of animals, balances safety with spiritual intention. Calling upon deities such as Anubis, Inanna, Kali, and Pluto during November introduces powerful archetypes of death, time, and transformation. I recommend treating these figures as energetic influences rather than literal beings, adapting their symbolism in a way that aligns with your beliefs and practices. You don’t need to incorporate every element at once; even focusing on one or two correspondences can enrich your spiritual work. Creating a small altar with a chosen stone or animal, for example, invites a deeper connection and personal meaning. Over time, as you observe how these energies interact with your life and practices, your November correspondence list becomes a dynamic and treasured part of your witchcraft. Sharing what you put on your November altar can also inspire others to explore these correspondences in fresh ways. Whether you choose to honor the season’s renewal or its passage into darkness, these traditional correspondences offer a meaningful framework for intentional witchcraft throughout the month.
