Johnny Davis, of Carbondale, gives a permanent reminder to Anne Millard, of Champaign, of the 2017 solar eclipse at Artistic Mind Tattoo and Body Piercing Saturday. I decided I dont want a little item that I can break, lose or you know, somebody is going to steal it, Millard said. So I thought Im going to get a tattoo for it [eclipse] so I can always remember it. (Athena Chrysanthou | @Chrysant1Athena)

Auto technician and volunteer fire fighter George Cook, of Evansville, throws kindle onto the Spirit Fire on Saturday, Oct. 29, 2016, during the Southern Illinois Pagan Alliances Samhain celebration at Crab Orchard Campground. Cook has been a member of the alliance for eight years and identifies as an eclectic Pagan. I love that Paganism is an earth-based religion that brings all sorts of people together, Cook said. Its just like when Christians came over here, Native Americans were classified as Pagans because they didnt believe in the Christian God, but they worshipped Mother Earth and Father Sky. They took care of their land and the land provided for them. Thats the path I follow. During the ceremony, participants used the Spirit Fire to banish internal aspects of their life they wished to let go of, Cook said. (Morgan Timms | @Morgan_Timms)
