The primary metaphysical energy of pumpkins is abundance. Think of how big they can grow. And when you cut open a pumpkin, it's absolutely packed with seeds, each representing the possibility of new life and expansion. They can slo be used to represent long term abundance as pumpkins can be kept for a long time before they start to decay. Similarly, they can also be used to call in prosperity and fertility.
Pumpkins are associated with the sabbats of Mabon and Samhain, also known as Halloween, since they're in season during these harvest festivals.
Pumpkins were adopted by enslaved peoples and incorporated into their magical practices because they resembled gourds from people's home countries. This orange gourd is sacred to Oshun.
The most common use for pumpkins is to make jack-o-lanterns. American children carve pumpkins every year with a vague notion that they're connected to spooky Halloween without realizing their history and significance. Pumpkins took the place of turnips which were carved in Ireland at Samhain as a form of protection from spirits who may be present during this season when the veil is thin.
The scary face and the light of a jack-o-lantern serves as a home protection spell to stop any wandering spirits from lingering in your home. Some also say the light helps to lead them back to where they belong.
A pumpkin can also be hollowed out and used as a cauldron or container for spellwork.
