The main colors we use are green and black. So start by painting your nails black. Then get some baby powder and a little green food coloring. Add a bit of water and make it into a paste and then apply it to your face.So now yoiu ge the greenstick y look of the witch in Wicked. Stick a huge wart on your nose to add to the effect. Witches aren’t supposed to be pretty. Next, tussle up your hair. Make it look unkempt and stringy. Your costume doesn’t have to be perfect either. Your “ugly witch” look can be enhanced by making it look ragged. If you want to dress up in a sexy witch costume, a fitted long black dress or a short one will suffice. Add some high heels, a witch hat and some fishnet tights and you are all set. and you’re good to go.

You want to go as the devil himself?
RED is the color here. For men, find a red suit for your sexy devil costume and top it off with plastic horns. Make sure your hair is oiled and slicked back. If you don’t have a red suit, try some red long john’s. Attach a home made pointed tail and you’r all ready.

For womens’ costumes, a form fitting red dress will work. Match it with red high heels and sleek looking hair. Finish you look off with a few sparkles and don’t forget your horns!

Witchcraft in mythology, is the use of certain kinds of supernatural powers. A witch practices of witchcraft. While a witch costume is supernatural, people have been accused of witchcraft, or have claimed to be witches. Witches are usually women.

In early Europe history, witchcraft was seen as a diabolical conspiracy against Christians, and accusations of witchcraft led to big witch-hunts.

Witchcraft is normally a cultural ideology, for explaining human misfortune by blaming it on the supernatural. It is known, however, that many of the stereotypes surrounding witchcraft evolved out of more well meaning pre-Christian beliefs about spirits, and some of those accused of being witches were in fact healers rooted in these same beliefs. Witchcraft has also been applied to cultures outside Europe, holding similar ideologies of supernatural misfortune, as well as to describe a wide variety of magical and practices.

Our modern day celebration of Halloween therefore has a rich and varied past.
Today we use this folklore as an excuse to dress up in witches costumes and play the part for one evening a year.

How To Play
Ask the kids to sit in a circle in a dimly lit room while you tell a story about a old witch who falls apart piece by piece. As you talk about each of her body parts, pass around a paper bag lined with a plastic bag, and have the kids feel inside without looking.

Each bag you fill should hold a different body part that has fallen from the witch. You could use peeled grapes for the eyeballs, a canned furry apricot for the tongue, pop kernels for teeth, cooked spaghetti for her brain, a large peeled plum tomato for her heart, cooked macaroni noodles for intestines, a slab of jello for the liver, and so on.
