On that sunny morning in early September, Hekske – the little witch - woke up when the first sunrays kissed her cheek.  She immediately got up from her bed of moss and started preparing the morning tea with the help of Falke – the 10-year old witch apprentice – and a family of squirrels.  After drinking tea, the girls made their daily inspection round of the forest.  It hadn’t rained since early June and the forest was bone dry and some trees were already shedding their leaves.  Many plants and insects had already succumbed to the drought and even the oldest owls had never experienced such a long dry spell.
After completing their tour of the forest, Hekske suddenly felt the urge to fly.  She quickly kissed goodbye to Falke and to the nymph Lalita and took off from a clearing.  She knew she would – as always – reach her destination by simply following her inner compass.  This time she flew in Southeastern direction, until she sensed she had reached her destination. The little witch landed on a meadow near the spot where the river Iller flows into the mighty Danube river, where she was welcomed by 9 other witches.  After a long welcome hug, the eldest witch explained that all women came from a different wind direction and had converged to form a yoni circle.  Then she led all witches into a nearby forest.  Hekske immediately saw that this place was as dry as her home forest in Flanders.  The women followed a dry stream bed to higher ground, until they reached the well, which had unfortunately dried up.  This was a very disturbing event as even the oldest witch (653 years of age) didn’t remember this well ever running dry.  At that moment an 11th witch gently descended from the sky.  Now the yoni circle was complete.  The new witch was really special, as she had a golden brown skin and had a mix of Indonesian and African features.  She explained that she came from Madagascar, the huge island in the Indian Ocean which had been separated from the rest of the world for 80 million years, resulting in a unique flora and fauna.  But most of all, the Malagasy witch was pregnant, which led to elated reactions of the 10 other witches.
Normally, all witches take a communal bath before starting with the ceremonies, but because of the extreme drought, they skipped this part.  So they just shucked off their immaculately white dresses and the 10 witches aligned themselves in a circle around the pregnant witch, who was standing on top of the dry well.  The 10 witches held hands in a circle and started to sing mystic age-old songs about the power of the yoni.  The little witch felt the pure and divine yoni energy descend into her body, and closed her eyes every now and then to feel it even better.  The eldest witch led the ceremony and mentioned between 2 rituals that the witch who was bound to get pregnant next, would be receiving a sign towards the end of the ceremony.  Just at that moment, 10 beautiful butterflies descended from the sky.  Instinctively, all witches in the circle stretched out their hand and one butterfly landed on each hand.  The little witch was amazed to see that these were rhetus arcius butterflies, a mysterious species with a deep black color and mesmerizing intensely blue stripes and wing tails.  These butterflies only show up on very special occasions and the little witch looked in awe at the delicate insect on her hand.  After a few minutes, the 10 butterflies took off simultaneously and started hovering above the Malagasy witch.  This was the sign to start the next round of ceremonies, and the 10 witches touched the beautiful round belly of their pregnant sister, before performing some powerful vulva rituals.  The little witch had never felt such a pure energy and felt so connected with mother nature…

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.
