Halloween is almost here, and we imagine the Wiccan population is prepared to hastily open doors, eyes ready to roll, as the neighborhood's cutest trick or treaters come barreling through in hopes for the season's best treats. The lil' witches and faeries with extended hands prepared for candy collection are -- as Wiccans probably see it -- cartoonishly inauthentic versions of the real deal.
But you can't blame the kids -- you've got to blame the narrow-minded costume manufacturers. All they see are pointy hats and broomsticks, never paying attention to the hot fashions online from they could so easily draw real-life inspiration.
In fact, there's a witchy fashion for everybody! Which witch costumes fits you best?

If the author is very young, say under 18, then good try.
Otherwise, remarkably unfunny.
Considering how hilarious Wiccan costumes really are it isn't difficult to make fun of them.
This fails.
Confused Nana - Nana = grandmother so what on earth does this mean? cross dressing?
Gym Rat - no self respecting gym rat would wear sleeves as long or as shapeless as these. There are LOTS of singlets with Wiccan symbols on. How about the Horned One?
For the crazy person: caption is unkind, not funny. The pic is pretty so why not burlesque the romanticism or sentimentality?
For Dorothy Zbornak: Who she? In-crowd jokes go splat outside the in-crowd.
For the laid-back dad: BORING!
For the gal trying to "cast a spell" in the bedroom: OK - 6/10 - but there are much bestter costumes in black vamp silk with pentagrams.
For the comedian: Really? A trainee perhaps.
Since it refers to taste why not make the joke about eating, feasting or food all of which rank high in wiccan culture.
For the Pussycat Dolls/Danity Kane/skanky girl group member: the front one looks only a little like Wicca. The others are totally irrelevant.
For the "intense person": limp.
Try phallic symbolism it's a good stand by.
For the lady who secretly wishes she could wear her daughter's clothes in public: can't see why her age or size has anything to do with wearing a jacket like this.
Finally, you know Halloween/ Samhain jokes need more than just sloppily linking to some sort of more or less kind of somewhere in the region of wicca.
