I recently came across an intriguing and spooky witch lantern at a Cracker Barrel store. The lantern was beautifully crafted and emitted a mysterious glow that drew my attention immediately. The design of the lantern showcased a witch flying on her broomstick against a backdrop of a full moon. What made this lantern stand out from other Halloween decorations was its intricate details and use of lighting. The broomstick, crafted from twisted branches, seemed to cast eerie shadows on the wall when the lantern was lit. Additionally, the witch's face featured a translucent glow, giving her an otherworldly appearance.

The light source inside was concealed by a thin cloth, creating a soft and mysterious glow that added to the spooky atmosphere.
The Green Witch’s Garden by Arin Murphy-Hisock
A green witch embraces the power of nature, draws energy from the earth, and relies on plants, flowers, and herbs for healing.

Honestly, I’m notorious in my family for having a little bit of a black thumb and I’m trying to change that. I am interested in herbs and their traditional magical properties and I love harvesting them from my mother’s garden and using them in cooking. However, since I don’t live with my mother, learning how to not kill the green things is a goal for me. That’s where this book comes in, to give me a lot of little tips and tricks so that I am not constantly killing the plant babies.
It has a lot of information on the growing and the designing of a garden. I love the idea of the moon garden, but then also the elements garden with different plants corresponding to their different moon phases or elements. I would love to have a moon garden when I eventually have a home of my own. However, as usual my favorite part of this was the cooking section.
Recipes for jam and herb butter are easy enough for most practitioners, but I’m personally more interested in trying my hand at the savory shortbread cookies. The vegetable soup recipe also looks good, if a bit standard. I’ve made some of the recipes from her other books and they’ve turned out to be delicious so hopefully these will be as well.
Overall, I would recommend this for fans of her other books. They make a really great collection for anyone just starting out on their path or starting gardening. There are a lot of really great ideas in here to get people started or to use as the base inspiration for something more complicated. I look forward to getting a copy of this for my shelf in the not so distant future.

Reviews for "Halloween DIY: Craft a spooky witch lantern with Cracker Barrel treasures"
1. Jon - 2 stars - I was really excited to buy the spooky witch lantern from Cracker Barrel, but when I received it, I was extremely disappointed. The quality was poor, the paint was chipped, and it looked nothing like the picture online. The lantern itself felt cheap and flimsy, and I don't think it will last very long. Overall, a big letdown and definitely not worth the price.
2. Emily - 1 star - I regret buying the spooky witch lantern from Cracker Barrel. It arrived with a broken handle, and the customer service was unhelpful when I tried to get a replacement. Even if it had arrived intact, the lantern itself was poorly made and the lights barely worked. It's a shame because I was really looking forward to using it as a Halloween decoration, but it ended up being a waste of money. Save yourself the disappointment and avoid this product.
3. Mark - 2 stars - The spooky witch lantern from Cracker Barrel did not meet my expectations. The design looked much better in the pictures than in person, and the lantern felt like it was made of really cheap materials. The lights were also quite dim and didn't add much to the overall effect. It's definitely not worth the price they're asking for. I would recommend looking for a different Halloween decoration option if you're hoping for something that looks more impressive.
