attack & decay wild twist in counterpoint

After a rainy morning in late March, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) went for their daily inspection round of the damp witch’s forest. Along the way, they met with a group of squirrels, a group of starlings and a group of snails, after which they had a chat with Barney the barn owl. He remembered that centuries ago, there used to be special names for all specific groups of animals, but now all these names have been forgotten. Then Falke asked whether he was really sure that all these names had been lost for good. Barney gave it a deep thought, and then he said that ‘mayybee … maybe there is a chance that the owls of Snowdonia have preserved these ancient names’. And Barney proposed to fly to that place, which left the witches elated. Hekske uttered a size reduction spell and both (now pocket-sized) girls jumped on the back of Barney, who flew away in Western direction. After a long flight over the North Sea on the wings of the owl, a pod of porpoises showed them the way to the island of Albion. And on top of the white cliffs on the coast, the visitors were immediately spotted by a watch of nightingales, who showed them the way to Snowdonia. On the edge of the forest, a murmuration of starlings took over and guided their guests to the hollow willow tree. Barney, Hekske and Falke entered the tree through a small hole, but after entering they found themselves in the middle of a vast chamber which was full with owls. This was obviously the parliament of owls and its eldest member (a venerable eagle-owl) welcomed their visitors, and enquired what was the purpose of their quest. Hekske explained that they were seeking the names of all specific groups of animals. Upon hearing this request, the eyes of the eagle-owl lit up and he started to smile. He showed his visitors the way to a secret library, where they found a very old and dusty book. The eagle-owl explained that this was the original book of St-Albans, written in the 15th century and one of the oldest printed books of Albion (and the oldest English book written by a woman). Hekske and Falke cautiously opened the age-old book and browsed to the chapter about ‘The Companies of Beasties and Fowlies’. And there they found the list of all groups of animals … a gaggle of geese, a bike of bees, an unkindness of ravens, a murder of crows, a conspiracy of rooks, a skulk of foxes, a business of ferrets …
This book was a real treasure which left the witches breathless. The rest of the day, Hekske, Falke and Barney memorized over 100 different group names, after which they said goodbye to the parliament of owls and flew back to their home forest in Flanders. And after a long flight they got a warm welcome by a group of coots … and now they could reveal that they were actually a ‘covert’ of coots …

(Story continued from Witchtape #147)

Paul – the psychic octopus - had been expecting the witches for days. He stretched out his 8 arms and gave a welcome hug to Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice). For the girls this was a very special feeling, as the skin of an octopus feels like nothing else on this planet … soft and firm at the same time, even very firm as they felt his suckers all over their bodies. The arms of the octopus were completely wrapped around Hekske and Falke, who surrendered to the serene and gentle energy of this beautiful sea dweller. Paul took the witches for a graceful slow dance through the aquamarine water. The girls lost all sense of space and time, and felt deeply connected … not only with this octopus, but also with the whole Baltic Sea. After what felt like an eternity, the water got shallower and they saw the sea floor underneath them. The girls noticed that Paul was following a single thread which was lying on the sea floor, and which was glowing in a soft blueish green color. Finally the water got so shallow that Hekske and Falke were able to stand on their feet. Paul the Octopus loosened his tender embrace, which took almost one hour as he detached each of his 1600 suckers one by one. After getting completely untangled, the witches gave a tender kiss to the psychic octopus, after which they waded to the shore. After arriving on the beach, Hekske and Falke looked back and saw Paul waving goodbye with 3 of his 8 arms.
The witches didn’t know where to go, but then Falke spotted the same mysterious luminous thread which they had already seen on the sea floor. They decided to follow it, and they climbed the high mountain ridge which rose out of the fjord. The higher they climbed, the thicker the thread became and now they also saw a pulse going through the thread. After a while, Hekske realized that this looked the root of a tree. Could this be one of the roots of Yggdrasill, the tree of life? 
After an epic climb of several hours, their hearts skipped a beat from excitement. They had found Yggdrasill, the tree which is located at the centre of the universe. At the foot of tree, there were 3 women standing, with pale blue dresses and raven black hair which was very long. They started the chuckle when they saw all the little circles on the skin of Hekske and Falke. They knew immediately that the witches had been brought by Paul the Octopus. After a long welcome hug, the women explained they were the 3 norns : Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld. Hekske just couldn’t believe it … she had read about the 3 norns in the ‘Edda’, the epic old Norse chronicle written by Snorri Sturluson some 8 centuries ago, but she had always thought that the norns were mythical creatures which did not really exist. But exist they did, and they were even way friendlier and cooler than she could ever imagine. The norns even gave a long pale blue dress to Hekske and Falke, which were exactly the same as the ones they were wearing. Soon afterwards, the norns started to walk higher up the mountain. They explained they were walking to Hvergelmir, the holy well. Actually, they go every day to the well to bring back holy water and mud for Yggdrasill. This is a very important task as otherwise, the tree of life would start to rot, which could trigger the end of the world. After a really long walk through the mist, they finally reached Hvergelmir. And what they saw there left Hekske and Falke dumbfounded … they were looking straight into a pair of glowing eyes … the dragon Níðhöggr …

Witchtape #148 | Guest Witch : Eloïß

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Djjuliimmaï (@juliimmai)

djjuliimmaï‘s musical style is as capricious and diver- se as life itself. Variations of house and minimalism blend smoothly with ritualistic music from around the globe. 

His DEEP HYPNOTIC SOUNDS mesmerizes crowds, turning the dance floor into a spiritual place. The element of hypnosis is key in Juli‘s idea and performance of electronic music.

Born 1982 in Lübeck, serendipitously on the day of a massive city festival, it didn‘t take very long for Juli to become a resident DJ at the Lübecker Eishaus Club at the age of 18.

After moving to Berlin in 2006, he was deeply inspired by a then rapidly evolving techno scene. Heavily influenced by the famous Bar 25 and the Fusion Festival, djjuliimmaï took his experience to Freiburg, then run- ning the White Rabbit Club. 

From there, in 2016, the record-spinning hypnotist launched his own series of club & festival events Moody Music and Kundalini Express.

The events also took off internationally and djjuliimmaï fell in love with the Hungarian music scene. He spent years there, maintaining the local underground music scene by organizing events in plenty of Hungarian venues for electronic music: › Feszek › Kert › Lärm › il Panorama.

This included curation, sound engineering, lighting- & stage design, and also catering. Because of his deep love for festivals, Juli‘s most cherished moments were his performances at the Sziget Festival, Taka Tuka and the Ozora Festival, where he‘s been a resident DJ ever-since.

I hope you enjoy this journey as much as I did!

💿 Zurück im Alltag 💿

✍️ Außergewöhnliche Erfahrungen können äußerst prägend wirken. Manchmal sind sie so überwältigend, dass wir für eine gewisse Zeit den alltäglichen Trott komplett vergessen. Dann befinden wir uns in einer ganz besonderen Sphäre des Seins. Voller Enthusiasmus und Tatendrang bewegen wir Dinge und krempeln unser Leben um. Doch diese motivierende Erfahrungs-Energie flacht irgendwann ab. Die Bonus-Power löst sich langsam auf und persönliche Kraftanstrengung wird wieder vermehrt benötigt. Was bleibt ist die Leichtigkeit und das Wissen um das Wie. Ist die Entscheidung für das Leben in Fülle gefallen, kommt alles andere wie von selbst.

🎵 Die heutige Ausgabe des KataHaifsch Podcasts ist sowohl meditativer als auch erheiternder Natur. Hinter diesem musikalischen Meisterwerk verbirgt sich die französische Künstlerin Audae. Die in Berlin beheimatete DJ, Musikproduzentin & Live Act hat eine Vorliebe für groovy Downtempo mit düsteren Basslines und ausdrucksstarken Synths. Ihr charakteristisches Markenzeichen ist die gekonnte Kombination aus organischen Klängen und eindeutig elektronischen Elementen. Diese Mischung macht ihre Musik so vielfältig und universell genießbar.

Dankeschön 💚

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.
