Materials Needed:
This past Samhain, my coven and I decided instead of regular quarter candles, we'd make jack-o'-lanterns, each carved with its proper directional symbol. They were spectactular! We used the lanterns in our quarter calls, and it went very well. It is definitly something you may want to try out!
Carve the pumpkins as you would any other pumpkin, except carve the element symbols (to find some exaples, see Scott Cunningham's book Wicca: a Guide for the solitary practicioner or Silver RavenWolf's To Stir a Magick Cauldron.) If you chose to use the ribbons, tie them around the pumpkins' stems that correspond to the element the color represents (Earth: green, Air: yellow, Fire: red, Water: blue.)
Place the pumpkins where they belong in the circle (earth: north, air: east, fire: south, water: west.) Proceed to cast your magick circle and call your quarters. Proceed with your itual and enjoy!
