Tale about the different kind
The witch had a body of a different kind. Where other skin was smooth, hers made an exception!Here and there it was dry,sometimes displayed the marks evenof those days in er past.

The struggle of killing a witch
“Why do witches have to suffer while the flames are eating up their body, you may have wondered.Is there not a way to punish them and end their threat to this world without commiting such an act of horror?

There are certain accesoires a witch just can‘t live without! A broom is needed to fly off into the mountains, a cauldron to brew potions in and of course the witch hat!

Faithless thoughts of a witch
The melancholia of the early days in spring had me thinking about what keeps me going.Or what kept me going in the past, when a lot more good things seemed to have happened, than these days.I spent the spring equinox with a fever and an infected throat in a bed from where I could atContinue reading “Faithless thoughts of a witch”
