The Exchange
This week I was in a quiet part of town where there are just a couple of specialist shops that are sometimes useful, and I saw my new friend Jacob, professor of natural history and secret witch, walking down the road.

A very pretty little bird landed on my window sill. I went to give her some seeds and then she chirped at me rather insistently that, as a witch, I was obligated to give her room and board. Well, I was very surprised to hear a bird talk but she didn’t seem to think this was at… Continue reading

I’m so glad you agreed to be my mentor. It was very kind of you when you could be enjoying your retirement, so I’m grateful for all your time and advice. I’m so excited to be taking my first steps to becoming a full time witch. Continue reading
