Here's To The Halloween Witch
Ever grow up wondering about witches? Did the Salem Witch Hunt make you scratch your head, or did it give you the shivers?Â
How about what Hansel and Gretel went through . . . OOOOhhhh there is so much about witches, as they have been around for a long time . . . But do they really cast spells? Are they fantasy or are they real?
Welcome to the Witches Den, where you'll find Halloween Witches and a whole lot more. Although Halloween is known for being the "Season Of The Witch," where I come from the season of the witch is 24/7.

Halloween Tid Bits
Christine F. of VikisFinds shares some of her Halloween Tid Bits . . .
Halloween is thought to have originated more than 2,000 years ago among the ancient Celts, who lived in the British Isles and France.
The Celts believed that on that day, the lord of the dead called forth evil spirits. They held a festival, called Samhain, in which they lit bonfires to frighten off these spirits.
When the Romans conquered Britain, they incorporated many Samhain customs into their harvest festival, held on November 1. Sometime later, to put a stop to Samhain, Christians began celebrating All Saints' Day on November 1.
The evening before All Saints' Day was called "Hallow" or "Holy Evening." Over the years, it became "Hallows Evening" and eventually "Halloween."
Halloween Witch Lantern
A bit of info on the carved pumpkin
Halloween Little Witch with Pumpkin Cauldron - Art Print, AllPosters.com
Here's one version on how it started: Centuries ago, in Ireland, lanterns were created from large turnips by hallowing them out and carving faces in them. To ward off evil spirits, candles were then placed inside to make terrifying faces.
The Irish subsequently brought this tradition to the United States. However, instead of turnips, they used pumpkins, which were plentiful in America and ripened shortly before Halloween.
How To Make A Halloween Witch Lantern
A Simple Lesson In Pumpkin Carving
(1) *Draw a face with markers BEFORE you start carving to avoid mistakes. You can draw it on a large piece of paper like a pattern, and tape it to the pumpkin, or if you prefer, you can draw a face directly on the pumpkin.
(2) *Always cut the top of the pumpkin at an angle. If you carve it straight, the top will probably slip off within a few days.
(3) *Carve several pumpkins. A group of pumpkins is more striking than one.
(4) *When you're done carving, set a candle inside. (A small battery operated light will also work.)
(5) *The thinner you carve the shell, the brighter the candlelight will appear.

How I Made My Halloween Witch
The Story Of My Halloween Witch Wreath
Creating functional, interactive art is a lifelong hobby of mine. The Halloween Witch mascot is a photo illustration of a hand made witch doll. My Halloween Witch is a sand based doll with a black crepe paper dress. The doll's crepe paper arms were attached to hands that hold a pumpkin with rolling glow in the dark eyes. The Halloween Witch's base is secured to the wreath with a heavy gauge wire. The wreath is made of woven straw, raffia, and blackened grape vine. The wreath was embellished with natural dark dried flowers, and cloth autumn leaves.
My black cat was hand made out of black pipe cleaners. The black cat was designed to pose, with eyes that glow in the dark. Black Cat is not permanently attached so it could be moved to pose anywhere on the wreath. The cat sometimes sat on the brim of the witch's felt hat. The final element of the wreath was a string of battery operated Halloween Witch lights. This gave the wreath a soft glow when lit. Picture wire was strung through the back of the wreath so it could easily be hung on a door, wall, cupboard, etc.,. This was my first and only Halloween Art Doll creation of its kind, and now resides with a private collector.
While flying around the house, the broom picked up the scent of a few of my original signed prints. For those who prefer a more useful Halloween Witch item or view my other art products, please visit my Earth Works Zazzle Shop.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
