I'm glad someone took this over! :D

Anyway, as I said on the last one, I would prefer to receive a majority of pagan items over commercial Halloween things. I really like divination and herb-related items, and don't mind candles and incense! Feel free to send them to me, in fact!

Most of you know this is Mikki's swap and I just took it over so it wouldn't be completely dropped! I am soooo looking forward to this swap and hate that Mikki hate to drop it! I do hope everyone will rejoin and enjoy swapping!!

OH YEAH ~ I don't mind a mix of items but would love more Pagan Items than Halloween but I also love Halloween!!!

Hi......

I would prefer pagan herb and nature to commercial Halloween fair. I have plenty of thatâ€¦..maybe more than I should.

But if my partner should be well skilled in the craft of besom (making), I would love to receive a besom over all.

...And should I be so bold as to ask for ash, birch or oak for the handle and a binding of willow?

Well.....may we all have a most beautiful days.

In Machynlleth, Wales, we have a Lantern Parade for Samhain. I am looking forward to seeing it. I am from Germany originally, and Halloween is being celebrated there more and more. Happy Samhain, Annette Strauch.

I too would prefer the herbs, altar, incense items over traditional halloween items. My profile will be updated for this swap :D Thank you!

Hello, I love this holiday. Please send me pagan related items. Incense and candles with natural (non chemical) scents OK.

Pagan for me as well.

Once again I am unlucky #13.

Oh well!

On the contrary, the number 13 is a lucky one.
