Witchcraft ring throw is a traditional game played during the festival of Halloween or other pagan celebrations. It is believed to have originated from ancient Celtic and Norse cultures, where the throwing of rings was seen as a way to ward off evil spirits. The game involves tossing rings onto hooks or pegs, with the objective of landing the ring on the designated target. The rings used in witchcraft ring throw are typically made of sturdy material such as metal or wood, and may be adorned with mystical symbols or sigils. The targets can vary, ranging from simple pegs to more elaborate structures shaped like animals or mythical creatures. In some versions of the game, the targets may even be moving or placed at different distances.
