Happy Halloween!

One of the most popular figures associated with Halloween in the Witch. Her pointy black hat, dark cape, old broomstick and black cat make her easy to recognize. Her name comes from the Saxon word "wicca," meaning wise one. Today, she is a traditional favorite at Halloween costume parties and with young trick-or-treaters.

Witch is wearing a purple cape and black hat, owl sitting on one arm and stirring her cauldron with her broom. Jack O' Lanterns surround the base of the kettle along with a green frog and a monkey!
