It was a beautiful sunny day in March and easily the warmest day of the year in the witch’s forest.  Despite a temperature of only 13°C, the witches got in the mood for their first dive of the year into the Nymph’s Pond.  So Hekske (the little witch), Falke (the witch apprentice) and Lalita (the Asian tree nymph) slipped out of their dresses and cautiously waded into the pond.  After a few minutes, they had gotten used to the cold water and they even dived below the surface.  While completely under water, Hekske felt something weird happening.  The water suddenly became much warmer and the color turned from murky brown into pure aquamarine.  When she popped up above the surface, she realized – much to her bewilderment – that she was in the middle of a lush green tropical rainforest.  The temperature of the water was very pleasant, so the little witch was not in a hurry to get out of the pond, swimming lazily around in the company of some colorful fish.  After a while, the girl saw a huge snake swimming towards her.  This was easily the biggest snake she had ever seen.  The anaconda gently curled around the little witch and could easily have crushed her.  But witches have nothing to fear from animals, and this was just a tender embrace to welcome the girl into the Brazilian rainforest.
A little later, a family of giant brown rodents arrived near the edge of the pond.  The sweet-looking animals looked at the little witch with great curiosity.  The girl decided to get out of the water and immediately started to frolic with the young animals.  The mother told her that they were a family of capybaras and she also mentioned that the local witch had hung a white dress on a nearby branch, because she was expecting an European witch to arrive.  The little capybaras were fascinated by the witch’s pale-white skin (a color which they had never seen before) and couldn’t stop touching her.  After a lazy stroll through this garden of Eden, the capybaras showed the immaculately white dress to the little witch, who tried it on immediately.  Miraculously, it had the perfect size, although it was much shorter than the dresses she used to wear in her home forest in Flanders.  In any case, it was perfectly suited for the hot and humid Brazilian climate.  After that, the little witch was in no hurry to go and meet the local witch, as she was too busy observing all the colorful birds which were flying around in this forest, like hummingbirds, macaws and araçaris.  This place was a true Garden Of Eden and the little witch was curious what would come next …

Witches are the guardians of the forests.  We're not evil or dark, just a bit shy.  And even surprisingly sweet and kind... as long as you respect the forest.
