If you, your acquaintances or your kin are Wicked lovers, get together your beloved witches and wizards together for a merry ‘Wicked’ themed Halloween occasion. This Halloween party idea is fun for all ages, but can also be geared more towards grownups by integrating more liquor and leaving the tykes at home. Read on for handy thoughts on incorporating Wicked details into the night for a fun, unique Halloween occasion.
After your party guests have had a beverages and some savory halloween treats, give a session in the center of your graveyard jubilation setting to get in touch with the spirits. Make the ideal spooky aura by lighting standard candles around the area in a circle for a wicked glow. For tips on having a sitting, check the “How to Hold a Seance” guide. Alternatively, employ a Ouija board so spirits can spell out phrases and responses to your queries. It has a easier ‘reaction rate’ than making a seance, since the energy ‘tween the player’s thumbs will make the planchette to go and elicit a reply.
Halloween. It all began about 2,000 years ago, with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (said sow-in). The Celts, who dwelled around what is nowadays Ireland and the UK, celebrated the New Year on November 1st (crops croak, days get shorter, etc., etc.), and believed that on the nighttime before, the real world and the spirit world would converge. These calls from the ghosts of the dead could be critical, of course, so the Celts and Druids wore animal costumes for shelter. After the spring up of Christianity, the night before the autumn festival became well-known as All-hallows Eve. The American jubilation emerged from the combining of many various immigrant customs.
