Go to www.birthdaypartyideas.com There are lots of games there under different catagory. Try pin the wart on the witches nose. Have “gross” things for them to guess what it is by feeling (eg. spagetti noodles as guts. peeled grapes as eyeballs, etc).

If there’s a window by your front door, you could hang some fairy lights in in and make paper pumpkins to go round them!

Or carve a pumpkin and put a candle in it outside your door. If you don’t have a pumpkin you could make a lantern instead.

Perhaps weave some tinsel round your gate if you have one.

You could stick allsorts of things to your windows like paper ghosts, witches’ broomsticks, couldrons, etc.

Hope ive helped you there

The majority of witches today belong to the Wicca faith. The word \’witch \’ springs from the old English word \’Wicce \’ (meaning sensible one) – and \’Wicca (meaning healer). Wicca is a faith meaning harmony with nature. It\’s a modern pagan religion celebrating Earth and nature, founded in the 1940s. Wiccans celebrate 8 Sabbats or sacred days each year corresponding to seasonal changes or historical crop times.

Traditional witches were skilled in herbs and healing. Magick is simpler then ceremonial. Traditional witches do not believe in injuring. It\’s the responsibility of the witch the way in which the Magick is used.

Traditional witches broomsticks were a symbol of magical powers and used to sweep up the area were magic was to be performed. Witches utilised the things to help go inside the woods and jump over streams So people thought they were flying. Witches also used a knife called an Athame, it was a double sided knife with typically a black handle. Witches had wands that were considered part of the life force of the witch. They were made with hazel wood, silver, ebony or gold.

During the past charges of witchcraft regularly came about as a technique to keep an intelligent ladies from threatening male supremacy. They were also put on someone who was a little out of the standard. This is what occurred in Salem.

Are witches and magicians bad? The answer must be perhaps. Have a look through history to ascertain what the final answer could be. Within medieval times, the kings and queens sought out relief for sickness from the local practitioner, considered a witch. These ladies, had a tough knowledge of natural medicine and could heal people with their brews. As time rolled by the church set forth condemning these women the term witch became synonymous with noxious.

Most beliefs of witches were ingrained in magical and non secular powers. People started to become to believe that with all of these many things witches had powers beyond standard folks. They also started to feel that a witches power came from somewhere other then God. Witches after all could do all types of weird stuff, like turn themselves into felines – well, right? Moggies were said to be spirits of the dead.

Halloween is a night to honor ancestors, celebrate the seasonal harvest and ring in the New Year occurring on the day of November 1st.

Halloween Witch History was created by Karen Riedl of Halloween Events USA. Witches are a vital element of Halloween. What would Halloween be without them?

Question by thegirlnextdoor: Wiccans and witches – do you find the ‘traditional’ Halloween witch decorations offensive?
I know several women (from an internet group) who are wiccans and/or witches and they all really like the Halloween witch decorations. Some say it reminds them of the days when things weren’t so complicated and people didn’t take holidays too seriously.

How about you?
