Witch tree decoration has become a popular trend in recent years, especially during the Halloween season. This unique and spooky twist on traditional Christmas tree decor incorporates elements of witchcraft and occult symbolism. The concept behind witch tree decoration is to infuse a sense of mysticism and dark magic into the holiday season. Instead of the typical ornaments and lights, witch tree decorations feature items such as miniature brooms, cauldrons, black cats, spiders, and witches' hats. These decorations are often adorned with sparkles, glitter, and black lace to add an extra touch of enchantment. One of the key elements of witch tree decoration is to incorporate natural elements from the outdoors.

Book Review: The Last Apprentice (Revenge of the Witch) by Joseph Delaney
I forget who (or what site) recommended this book, but I remember it promised a dark tale (fun for horror lovers) that was appropriate for a middle grade reader who liked creepy things. The book fits that promise. I’m reading more middle grade now in anticipation of my own kids wanting to read independently. When my three-year-old son (whose favorite holiday is Halloween) saw me reading it, he asked what the story was about, and he was intrigued.
The Last Apprentice follows twelve-year-old Tom, who is the seventh son of a seventh son, and as such, he is an appropriate apprentice for “The Spook,” a man whose job it is to “deal with” all manner of supernatural beings that plague humanity. The Spook has had several apprentices over the years, and it’s implied that they either left the trade or were killed after making too many mistakes: the witches and ghosts (and other supernatural enemies) are all dangerous.
Tom is not happy about his chosen role, but his older brother already has possession of his parents’ farm, and there isn’t much else left for him. Besides, we learn later that his mom (who has many hidden secrets that are only hinted at in this book) intentionally had seven children so that she could apprentice her seventh to The Spook. She hints at a darkness coming that her son will play a role in stopping.
The book builds in suspense in a steady way. For someone like me, who likes dark and spooky things and whose favorite season is Halloween, this would have been a perfect book for me as a young reader. There are black and white illustrations at the start of each chapter that provide shadowy clues as to what characters look like, but really the imagery of the novel carries the story. I can picture the creepiness of what Tom experiences in a way that isn’t too intense (for a kid), while at the same time allowing my imagination to run away with itself if I allow.
As a protagonist, Tom is only twelve, so his mistakes are excusable, but at the same time, there is that nice tension of the reader watching the character make mistakes that we know should have been avoided. The book builds to a nice conclusion while still leaving room for more (future works).
I did see that there was a movie made in 2014, but the movie itself received poor ratings, and the trailer makes it seem very different from the book. The book for me was great: atmospheric, moody, and focused on the world through the eyes of the twelve-year old protagonist. It’s a manageable amount of information for a middle grade reader while still keeping enough details to intrigue older readers like me.
Witch tree decorations can also include candleholders or lanterns to create an eerie glow. Some people even choose to hang tarot cards or spell books from the branches to further enhance the mystical vibe. The possibilities for witch tree decorations are endless and can be customized to fit each individual's personal taste and style. One of the benefits of witch tree decoration is that it allows people to embrace their love for witchcraft and the occult in a fun and festive way. It also provides an opportunity for creativity and self-expression, as people can get creative with their choice of decorations and how they arrange them on the tree. Whether it's a small tabletop tree or a full-sized tree, witch tree decoration is a unique and fun way to celebrate the holiday season with a touch of magic and mystery. So, if you're looking to add a little extra enchantment to your holiday decor this year, consider trying out the witch tree decoration trend..
Reviews for "DIY Witch Tree Topper Ideas: Making a Statement at the Top of Your Tree"
1. Emma - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Witch tree decoration. It looked much better in the pictures online, but in reality it was made out of cheap materials that looked tacky. The colors were faded and the paint was chipping off. It didn't look anything like a witch, more like a poorly made doll. Definitely not worth the price.
2. John - 1 star - I was extremely dissatisfied with the Witch tree decoration. The quality was absolutely terrible. The seams were coming apart and the fabric felt like it would tear easily. The face of the witch was poorly painted and looked more like a Halloween mask from a dollar store. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - The Witch tree decoration was a complete letdown. The size was much smaller than I expected, and the materials used were flimsy and cheap-looking. The design itself was not well executed, as the details were not clear and the colors were faded. Overall, I was not impressed with this product and would not purchase it again.
4. Michael - 1 star - I regret buying the Witch tree decoration. The craftsmanship was very poor. The stitching was uneven and the entire decoration looked like it was thrown together haphazardly. It didn't have the same charm and character as depicted in the photos. I would not recommend this to anyone who is looking for a well-made and aesthetically pleasing addition to their Halloween decor.
