Here's a photo of a Halloween lantern I carved from a swede yesterday. This was the way we used to make them back with I was a child, before pumpkins were readily available in shops in England.
Swedes and turnips are a lot harder to cut into than pumpkins. The method I use is to cut off the top, stab the insides with a potato peeler, then scoop out the bits with a spoon before using a knife and apple corer to make the features. However, I broke my potato peeler yesterday on this very tough swede.
My Pagan Eye posts show photos that I find interesting - seasonal images, pagan sites, events, or just pretty pictures. If you want to send me a photo for a Pagan Eye post, please email it to badwitch1234@gmail.com Let me know what the photo shows and whether you want your name mentioned or not. For copyright reasons, the photo must be one you have taken yourself.
