Where do most people hang a witch ball
People all over the world hang lights and ornaments on their tree every Christmas. But who do you think Christmas balls have to thank for their origins? According to an ancient tale, Christmas ornament balls are descendants from the witch ball. These ornaments were placed on the tree to dispel a visitor’s envy at the presents underneath it. What exactly are witch balls?
They are made from glass (sometimes wood, grass or twigs), five to seven inches in diameter. Traditionally but not limited to, green or blue in color with enameled swirls or brilliant stripes. A string ran through the center of some. Others were placed on velvet pillows or on top of stands. Today, many people have a silver “gazing ball” in their gardens.
Witch balls date back to a time where witches were considered a blessing. They would enchant these balls to ward off evil. How this was accomplished depends on the tale you hear. Some say the bright colors of the ball would lure the evil presence in and the strand inside would capture it, preventing it from escaping. Another legend states the ball protects its owners from witches. The attractive colors lures them in to investigating the spheres. Then traps them inside forever. A third legend states the Witch Ball acts like a magnet. The ball is a positive element drawing in the negative from the air. If you find yourself ill, stay close to the ball and it will attract the evil causing your ailment. Want to exorcise the evils trapped within? All you have to do is dust it.
There are a variety of balls associated with the Witch Ball:
Fairy Orbs are said to attract fairies and luck. The orbs remind fairies of flowers and come to inspect the colors. Thanking you for the treat, they reward you with a little luck.
Pond Balls are basically the same as Witch Balls except they are weighted and placed in a pond or pool of water. Legend states animals see their reflection in the balls floating on top of the water and retreat, leaving the fish unharmed.
Spirit Balls are like Witch Balls except for an open hole on one end. It is believed they could protect the home owners from evil spirits. The spirit would be attracted by the colorful surface and fly in to the hole. Then become trapped in the glass strings inside.

Some were doomed to wander aimlessly, never finding their true purpose in life. Others experienced constant bad luck, having tragedy after tragedy befall them. It was said that the curse would only be lifted if someone managed to break the spell placed upon the rose bush. Despite the warnings and the tales of the curse, there were those who were curious and dared to venture into the garden. Some sought adventure, while others were desperate enough to risk it all in the hopes of breaking their own personal curse. Over the years, countless individuals entered the Jack-o'-Lantern Rose garden, only to meet their demise. The curse seemed unbreakable, and the legend grew stronger with each passing generation. The villagers began to avoid the garden entirely, their fear of the curse too great to overcome. One fateful day, a young girl named Emily entered the garden with a determination unlike any other. She had heard the tales of the curse but believed that she possessed the strength and courage to break it. As she carefully approached the jack-o'-lantern rose, the moon began to rise, casting an eerie glow on the garden. Emily plucked a petal from the rose and held it tightly in her hand, expecting the curse to take hold of her. To her surprise, nothing happened. She felt no immediate change or torment. Confused but hopeful, Emily kept the petal with her and continued her journey. Days turned into weeks, and still, the curse remained dormant. Emily's determination paid off, and she managed to break the curse of the Jack-o'-Lantern Rose. Word of her success spread throughout the village, and hope was reignited. People began to question the power of the curse and wonder if they too could break free from its grip. As the years passed, more and more individuals entered the garden, each with their own personal curse to break. Some succeeded, while others were consumed by the curse. The legend of the Jack-o'-Lantern Rose continued to captivate and frighten the villagers, reminding them of the power of belief, courage, and the quest for redemption. And so, the Curse of the Jack-o'-Lantern Rose lived on, a cautionary tale of the dangers lurking in the shadows and the potential for redemption in the face of darkness..
