It was early October and the witch’s forest was full of energy since the arrival of Ishola, the African wizard who is also Hekske’s fiancé. Ishola is a wandering wizard, which means he’s always travelling around on foot and only comes to visit the witch’s forest a couple of times per year. But during these rare occasions, the forest really comes to life, while the two lovebirds are having a very intense time together. This time, the wizard stayed for 8 days and 8 nights and during this time, the forest went through a spectacular autumn transformation, with the leaves of the trees changing from green into all kinds of shades of yellow, orange and brown. And simultaneously, countless different species of mushrooms popped up all over the forest, while squirrels were busy collecting nuts for the winter. On the 8th day, a gentle wind started to blow through the woods, making the leaves fall in droves. All the animals and birds stopped their activities to look in awe at this colorful spectacle. And when all leaves had fallen, it suddenly became very quiet in the forest. Ishola sensed it was time to move on. He kissed goodbye to his beloved little witch, and continued his journey around the world.
After this teary goodbye, Hekske slowly came back to her senses and rushed to the center of the forest, where Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) and Lalita (the Asian tree nymph) had been waiting for her. They were very excited and pointed at the little oak tree (which is only 3 feet high but is destined to become the future mother tree of the forest ecosystem). Then Hekske saw it too : the tiny tree was glowing up with a pulsating pink light, just like a heartbeat. This had never happened before. Hekske, Falke and Lalita spontaneously made a circle around the little tree, holding hands. They closed their eyes and felt the pulsating energy enter their body, giving a pleasantly warm feeling inside their chests. And when they opened their eyes, they were amazed to see that they were able to see each other’s heartbeat as a pulsating pink glow through the white fabric of their long dresses.
This was a moment of pure magic …

Witchtape #178 | Witch & Wizz : Zweisamt

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.

Art project of Hekske ('Little Witch' in my native Flemish language).
