The Truth Shall Set You Free
I was in two minds about doing any more fortune telling sessions at Coastal Coffee – then I went today and that just about made up my mind. I still had a few customers, but there were also a lot of distractions. One of the women who I used to do readings for, who apparently… Continue reading

You can’t fix what isn’t broken
I have heard similar tales from many witches – of going out, doing everything “right”, bringing their humble self to the world and asking for an answer to their struggles, and having their words whisked away like dust on a hot summer’s day until there is only deathly silence. It seems so unfair when it… Continue reading

Looking for Direction
I couldn’t sleep that night and I went down to watch the television in the communal room, since no one else was there. There was an interview with a witch who worked in the city, talking about how she’d had to work more and more after local factories closed and she was beginning to lose… Continue reading

Encounter by the Full Moon
I feel you could have warned me how lonely it is to be a witch, especially in my first year! Even Firenze doesn’t always care for my company – a poor trait in a pet or a familiar! Last night I couldn’t sleep and I got up and wandered about. Firenze stirred for a moment,… Continue reading

Welcome to the Jungle
This week was meant to be the week where my friend Suniya and I made our vegetable garden. She’s meant to be revising, but luckily for us, her mother thought she’d been cooped up too long and let her come. I say “luckily” but things didn’t go to plan. Continue reading

The Disappearing Familiar
Firenze has given me a shock. Perhaps I have fallen into the trap of seeing him more as a pet than a familiar. I knew we had a bond and I thought it was surprising when I had a future flash, but I have discovered that I vastly underestimated him. This morning I went down… Continue reading

Growing Together
I have been helping Mrs Webfoot in the garden lately and I feel that I’ve been “hearing” the plants and trees more and more. She is happy for me to help her with anything except her herb garden, which she is very protective over. And it feels good to help – she charges so little… Continue reading

The Purple Eyes of Mrs Webfoot
I lay awake all night tossing and turning, and worrying about this woman, this Mrs Webfoot. I came to this town a stranger, but she seems to know about me, can see through my enchanted coat and even knows when I’m lying… so I realised I could go one better. Why do years of work… Continue reading

The Storm and the Miracle
Yesterday I woke up with a headache and all I could see in my mind’s eye was rain… in a circle. I’ve had feelings about the weather since the strange magical storm and I decided I needed to find out what it was. As I saw it in my mind,, the circle of rain spread… Continue reading

The Eyes of Mrs Webfoot
It’s been a difficult few days for poor Firenze. I think Hatty must’ve disturbed the enclosure while she was cleaning – or snooping! – or else the new surroundings have confused him, as he ended up climbing out and I ended up with him curled up next to me as I tried to plan a… Continue reading
