Just before sunset, the 3 witches (Hekske, Falke and Quintine) touched down on the gentle slopes of Gugu Peak, the enigmatic mountain in the Godeanu ridge which mysteriously disappears every now and then. A group of Carpathian witches welcomed them with warm hugs and delicious papanasi. The local witches couldn’t stop cuddling and kissing Falke (who is only 10 years old, which is unusually young for a witch apprentice). The witches in this part of the world are exceptionally warm and hospitable. They went to a crystal-clear mirror lake, where they lit up a bonfire. That was the start of a long night filled with mystic ceremonies and age-old Carpathian songs.
The next morning it was time to say goodbye. One of the witches invited their 3 Flemish guests to her place near the Black Sea. The girls lifted off and flew from the Carpathians to the plain of the mighty Danube river, which they followed downstream until they saw the Black Sea in the distance.
They touched down on the beach, where an old witch was waiting for them. She introduced herself as Ileana, and she gave a warm welcome hug to Hekske and sweet little Falke. But then she appeared a bit stunned when she was looking at Quintine, and enthusiastically asked whether she was the greatgranddaughter of Quintine from Ellezelles, a witch she had met over 400 years ago. 
Quintine’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. Now she recognized Ileana, who had changed a lot in the course of 4 centuries. She explained that she was Quintine herself, and that she had just woken up from a 414 year hibernation to escape the persecutions of the 17th century (see Witchtape #181 for the whole story). As a result, she hadn’t aged a single day since the year 1610.
The witches spent a lovely lazy day at the beach until it started to get dark. Then they slipped out of their long white dresses and waded into the water. To their great surprise, the water was emitting a mesmerizing blueish glow which lit up with each wave. Ileana explained that this glow is being emitted by tiny organisms named Noctiluca scintillans, which most people call ‘sea sparkles’. And she smilingly added : ‘and some people call them witch’s veil’.
Soon they were swimming far away from the shore, surrounded by these mysterious lights, which seemed to pulsate with each wave. It felt as if they were flying through a universe filled with pulsing stars. And even more mystifying, the little lights seemed to react to the witch’s presence and flock around them. This mesmerizing spectacle soon made the witches lose their sense of space and time, and they kept on swimming in this magic world until deep in the night …

Welcome back to the Magician On Duty Journey Series!

On this edition we welcome Mikal Aton (@mikalaton)

Magician On Duty continues to push musical boundaries with the latest episode of the Journey Series, welcoming Berlin-based artist Mikal Aton—a key figure in shaping the city’s downtempo storytelling movement.

Known for his mesmerizing sets across clubs and festivals, Mikal Aton has carved out a distinctive space in electronic music, blending deep rhythms with cinematic narratives.

In this special episode, Mikal Aton guides listeners on a psychedelic journey through sound, weaving together hypnotic textures, deep grooves, and euphoric energy:

"It takes you around many corners to different shores and waters. Some deep, some wild, some hypnotic & spacey, but always stuck together with groovy glue and positive vibez. You are free to choose your vessel for the journey—sail a ship, ride a surfboard, a pony, or even a sofa."

Prepare to step into a world where rhythm and emotion intertwine. Tune in and let Journey Series take you beyond the ordinary.

That spring evening, Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the 10 year old witch apprentice) flew home after attending a witch coven in the black forest. As always, it had been an intense full moon night filled with mystic ceremonies and ecstatic dances. They were tired but happy when they touched down in the central glade of their home forest, where they received a warm welcome by Bob The Owl and many other forest dwellers.
The witches immediately went to the nymph’s pond where they took a refreshing dive in the clear (but ice-cold) water. This was exactly what they needed after such a long and intense day, and they enjoyed the view on the Japanese cherry tree in full bloom, which seemed to be glowing in the evening sun. After sunset, they saw the near-full moon rising gloriously above the Eastern horizon. The moon was really bright and clear that night, and they felt its divine power. A few minutes later, a small cloud obscured the moon and plunged the forest in darkness. Strangely, Falke noticed a faint light far away in the forest. This light disappeared when the moon started to shine again. But when the next cloud covered the moon, the same mysterious light reappeared in the woods.
The witches got intrigued, and decided to get out of the water. They unhurriedly dried their long hair and put on their immaculately white dresses, before venturing into the woods. The mysterious light had disappeared, but they intuitively sensed where they had to go. Strangely, the moonlight seemed to be showing the way. At one point, the moonlight suddenly became much stronger. The girls sensed that this must be the place. And yes, a few moments later they heard a faint ‘meow’ in the distance. And another meow… 
Then they saw it … a cute little kitten in a beam of moonlight. How on earth did this little cat end up here!? Anyway, Falke was already kissing and cuddling the beautiful little feline. The kitten was obviously still to small too be left alone in the forest, but the witches had a plan.
They brought the sweet little cat to entrance of the badger’s sett. After seeing the kitten, the guard immediately called the other badgers and soon all these ebullient animals were hugging and cuddling the little cat, who got instantly accepted by the whole clan of badgers.
The witches smilingly looked at this endearing spectacle and knew the little kitten would be safe in the badger’s sett. And it wouldn’t take long before they realized this was no ordinary cat …

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.
