(Story continued from Witchtape #96)

That cold and misty morning in late September, the little witch woke up from the pleasant sound of the singing birds and croaking frogs in her forest.  Next to her Falke was still sleeping, the 9 year old girl who had arrived in the forest 4 months ago.  She had run away from the orphanage and was determined to go and live in the forest and become a witch.  In the 4 months since her arrival, her transformation from human to witch went remarkably well.  Her joyful giggles filled the woods every day, while she was playing and dancing with butterflies or squirrels.  All the animals of the forest adored the little girl.  And when she wasn’t playing, she was singing age-old witch’s songs with her honeysweet voice, enchanting all forest dwellers.  Last summer was by far the happiest time of her whole life, after a difficult childhood in which she lost both her parents to drug abuse.  Falke had quickly gotten used to walking around barefoot, but – now that the Indian Summer was over and the temperatures were plunging – it had become obvious that she was suffering from the cold at times.  Each morning (sometimes as cold as 6°C) she woke up on her bed of moss shivering from the cold well before dawn, after which she snuggled under the blanket of the witch to get warm again.  And the day before, the blond girl even refused for the first time to participate in the daily swim in the Nymph’s pond because the water was too cold for her.  So it was clear something had to be done. And fast.
The little witch frenetically browsed through an old book with secret witch’s recipes and she swiftly took a cauldron after finding the recipe against the cold.  Meanwhile, Lalita the nymph prepared a cup of tea with spices from her home country Sri Lanka.  After the spice tea was ready, Falke drank from it with little sips and with every sip she felt her tiny body warming up a bit more.  A few minutes later the witch’s brew was ready too.  Luckily all ingredients (including brambles and white grapes) could be found in the witch’s forest.  Falke drank the beverage with little sips as well, and quickly her face turned red and her whole body started to glow, while her bright blue eyes started to shine again.  After finishing her cup of witch’s brew, she immediately ran towards the nymph’s pond, shucked off her white-and-pink dress along the way and dived into the cold water while screaming from joy.  Her ear-piercing shriek came to an abrupt halt when she hit the water with a splash, after which she disappeared under the water surface for a long time.  There was an eerie silence and the witch and nymph were a bit worried that this dive into the water was maybe a bit too optimistic with these cool temperatures, but luckily the blond girl quickly resurfaced and she couldn’t stop giggling.  The 2 brews worked way better than expected, and the little girl didn’t feel the cold water at all.  The witch and nymph looked at each other and smiled, before jumping into the water themselves, playing and splashing water with Falke for a long long time …

SIDERA

(Story continued from Witchtape #106)
After having passed the test of the cold under the frigid waterfall, the two Icelandic witches gave a real Eldnorn dress to the little witch, while singing a sweet age-old mystic song.  The European witch looked in admiration at the beautiful long white dress with the orange flame patterns.  Now she was fully accepted by the Eldnorns, the reclusive tribe of Icelandic fire witches.  After that ceremony, the eldest witch (850 years of age) pointed towards the west.  The 3 women started walking into that direction, and after climbing over the crest of a hill, they had a majestic view over the rugged landscape of volcanoes and glaciers.  They kept on walking westwards until they reached the foot of a smouldering volcano, after which they started climbing the intimidating mountain.  For the little witch (who was used to her cosy green home forest in north-western Europe), it felt as if she was moving around on another planet.
After one hour of climbing, the 3 barefoot women reached a desolate and windy plateau.  At one point, a geyser erupted in front of them.  The little witch had never seen anything like this.  Soon afterwards, the witches reached their destination, which was an almost perfectly circular pond next to the geyser.  The water had a surreal blueish-greenish glow and the rocks on the edge had equally surreal yellow and orange colors.  The little witch was not exactly in the mood to jump into the water on this windy and cold plateau, but she quickly changed her mind when she realized this was a hot-spring.  The Icelandic witches promptly slipped out of their Eldnorn dresses and the little witch followed their example, hoping that they would quickly jump into the warm water.  But after taking the temperature of the water with the tip of her toes, she realized that the water was way too hot for a quick dive.  She noticed that the Icelandic witches were cautiously wading into the blue-green water so she followed their example.  It was a really weird experience, with her feet red-hot and the rest of her body ice-cold.  Slowly she waded deeper and deeper, until her legs were completely immersed in the hot water.  Now the lower half of her body was boiling hot while the upper half was freezing cold.  Just at that moment, the nearby geyser erupted again, surrounding the witches by thick fog.  This made the experience even more surreal, as for a short while, the little witch couldn’t see where she was.  She decided to follow her instinct and continued wading deeper and deeper into the hot spring, until finally only her shoulders and head were above the surface.  The little witch closed her eyes and felt how the intense heat was engulfing her whole body (except her cold nose).  Then, all of a sudden she got a rude awakening when the volcano started to rumble again in the distance, while she felt her legs shake from an earthquake.  The European girl was unsure whether this was dangerous or not as the rumbling was louder and sounded more intimidating than ever before.  But the Icelandic witches looked at her with a serene smile.  There was no reason to worry, at least not for witches.  Meanwhile the fog had dissipated and the girl got an excellent view of the summit of the volcano, which was spewing lava now.  Little did she know that the top of this volcano would be their next destination…

Witchtape #110 | Guest Wizz : West & Hill

“Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.” - Kahlil Gibran

We are being welcomed into a new month - a new moon - with a very special podcast created by MarinJah. Her daily life consists out of working with energies being a Qiqong teacher - and this is without a doubt reflected in her love for sounds and vibrations through music.

As ‘Mbuki Mvuki’ stands for that irresistible feeling to just take off all your clothes so you can dance around freely, it’s exactly that energy she put into this mix: by dancing you can feel your soul and your body moving the sounds.

Although being aware that the music industry is still mainly man-dominated, we can definitely say that we are happy to see that slowly the female energy is more expressed in the scene and starts to flow stronger! MarinJah loves female DJ’s for the emotions sensible in their mixes, finding this way to balance the heart and mind and move you deeply. 

MarinJah has a lot to give with her exquisite taste for tunes and mixing. She was one of the first I invited to be part of the Mbuki Mvuki Movement and Im so excited that time is finally here! Let's get naked and dance!

Lostfound (Matthew Herberts Let Yourself Go Dub)

☾ There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls ⎈

The time has come, 
many days have passed, 
many nights are gone 
and so we set sail once more, 
to shine in new splendor.

We are joyful, as we are are able to present to you our ninth installment of this little endeavor, brought to you by our dear friend and colleague Späk.

As a member of the vienna Heimlich family, this colorful fella knows what it means to dive deep into unheard worlds of sound and wonder.
Loaded with sonic trips this nasty bass-fest sums up the past summer in 102 minutes of W T F and HELL YEAH.

Not to puff it up with any more words, we'd like to let this mixtape speak in its own volume and carry you beyond temperatures and sunlight.

✈ Enjoy your trip and spread the love ❤
