Witches prepare for Halloween fun celebrating the pagan new year

Photo by Guy Harrop. Witches prepare for Halloween or All Hallows' Eve, in Devon,  marking the Celtic festival of Samhain, celebrating the pagan new year traditionally marking the end of the summer season and the end of the harvest. This year has been one of the best pumpkin harvests for years because of wet spring and hot summer.
