"A compendium of witches"

Thank you DP, every day is a schoolday!Today is Imbolc, where witches celebrate the goddess Brigid (pronounced "Breed"). At this time, winter is slightly relaxing its grip, and nature is preparing for the coming spring. Traditionally, as this day falls almost exactly halfway between the feast of Yule (the winter solstice, shortest day of the year), and Ostara, the spring equinox where the day and night are of equal length which marks the start of spring.
Spring is not here yet though which is why ancient peoples observed the weather on this day to try to determine if they could look forward to an early warming of the world, or if the winter would remain with them right up until the equinox. It is from this that later weather-related practices and rituals emerged, such as Groundhog Day in the US (almost certainly brought to the New World by early Dutch settlers in the 17th century and observed to this day, particularly in the northeast states and especially in Pennsylvania of course, where this wonderfully quirky tradition lives on and has become a major tourist draw, no doubt spurred on by the wonderful Bill Murray movie)
So a happy Groundhog Day to all our American friends and Imbolc blessings to the rest of us

The witch is brewing a drink. She only uses the best ingredients, fly agaric, green death cap, deadly nightshade and hemlock, all from purely organic farming.
After a witch drinks from it, she can fly very well.

If she's accompanied by gloomy birds and the colour red, she's likely the Morrigan.

Younger, modern witches, by the way, prefer modern drinks sold in witch supply stores.

Why do witches wish they could milk cows?
