This fall is all about embodying the cozy lifestyle of everyone's favorite witch: Strega Nona. The trend is inspired by the beloved 1975 children's book, Strega Nona, written and illustrated by Tomie dePaola. Translating to "Grandma Witch," Strega Nona—a benevolent old Italian woman who lives in a town in Calabria—is the book's central character. Prior to this survey, have you heard of the Strega Nona?

While Strega Nona may seem like an unlikely character to become the next TikTok sensation, users of the app appreciate her particular brand of coziness. Strega Nona's simple lifestyle of conjuring spells and making pasta is one social media users aspire to achieve this fall. Even the book's color palette, which features the rich earth tones of the Italian countryside, evokes a specific cozy atmosphere. Are you planning on having a slow, cozy, simple fall this year?

So how does one actually have a Strega Nona fall? Margaret Duncan, who has helped popularize the trend on TikTok, has some ideas. In one of her videos, Duncan suggests a few ways to participate in this trend. Some ideas include: taking time to appreciate the magic of the season, making a big pot of pasta to share with loved ones, believing in your magical abilities, enjoying time in your snug home, and going to the pumpkin patch.
