Itches for something about Witches?

How is it that over the years the ideas of Withes have started to change? Witches use to be one of the most evil, heated and feared creatures of humans; but now a days, witches are something people love to mock and are one of the most popular monsters to think of during Halloween. Don't get me wrong i love the idea of creating a great scary Witch; but it's just fascinating how peoples thought of things, and or people, can change over the years.
But lets not forget that all who studied magic were not evil Witches. In fact, Whickins, were those who studied magic but for healing not for cursing. 

Some say Witches are ugly creatures that can hide their true self, with magic, making them look beautiful. Over all, Witches are not a creature you'd want to mess with; for they can turn you into another being or curse you with something much worse. This is magic is what makes Witches to be feared; but its not till Halloween time until we start really thinking about what Witches are well known for.

Come on Pumpkin let's be Creative


You would think given the creative outlook on new ideas and the ways of thinking we have in this day an age more people would be able to think outside the box of carving a simple Jack-O-Lantern and stepping it up a notch. People have ideas, even if they don't know they do; so why don't they use them?! i'm pretty sure I'm not the only one getting tired of seeing the same old carving at every house on Halloween. This Holiday is the one time out of the year where you can be creative and be someone or something new and no one will judge you; so if you can put so much work on making an out of this world outfit than why not decerate some other worldly Jack-O-Lanterns for your creepy house, think outside the box. I understand that sometimes carving pumpkins can be fustrating and can damn right get under your skin with how fragale a pumpkin can be, but the joy you get when someone appreciates how creative and spooky your finished work can be.
Here's some quick tips that can help you keep a falling pumpkin together; and its only one simple thing, a toothpick. toothpicks are the pillers to a Jack-O-Lantern's foundation to survive, sometimes even tape is a useful tool to help make your creation come alive, even if it is for one night. also, when carving try to slide the knife through the pumpkin rather than stabbing it like a lovely horror film, this will allow you to prevent damage to your finished Jack-O-Lantern.
