On that sunny day in late April, Hekske (The Little Witch) was surprised to feel an unstoppable urge to fly.  This was completely unexpected as the last full moon was only 11 days ago, and witches normally only fly out on full moon days when they go to their monthly coven.  Anyway, after kissing goodbye to the forest dwellers, the young witch surrendered to her deeper instincts and flew into the unknown.  She had no idea where she was flying to, but she knew she would – as always - reach her destination by following her inner compass.
After taking off, the little witch headed towards the north with a pretty slow speed, meaning the destination wasn’t very far away.  During the whole flight, she saw the North Sea on her left side.  After sensing she had reached her destination, she gently touched down on a windy beach where she was welcomed by a young Frisian witch with blond hair and blue eyes.  After a long welcome hug, the other witch welcomed Hekske in Friesland, which is a grassy and windy province near the Wadden Sea.  The witch (‘tsjoenster’ in the Frisian language), was way taller than Hekske and her blond hair made her look like a lioness.
At that moment, a third witch landed a few meters away from them.  After joining the welcome hug, the witch introduced herself as Necahual and she revealed that she belonged to the Toltec tribe from Central Mexico and was almost 1000 years old.  The other witches were dumbfounded by this sensational discovery, as Toltec witches were believed to have gone extinct 5 centuries ago.  This also meant she was a living treasure, as she was believed to be the only witch who still knew the ancient Toltec spells and recipes.  Finally she would be able to pass all this priceless knowledge and wisdom to other witches.
At that moment 2 cackling witches flew overhead.  The Frisian witch explained that they were heading towards the nearby island of Ameland, where a yoni circle ceremony would take place during the Walpurgis Night.  This is the night between April and May and every year witches meet in small groups at many different locations, like the Brocken Mountain in Germany or the Swedish Island of Blåkulla.
Hekske got very excited about all this, as she had never before participated in a yoni circle, nor celebrated Walpurgis Night.  So she asked – somewhat naively - when they would be flying to Ameland.  The Frisian witch responded dryly that only experienced witches are allowed to fly to the island, while the newbies have to walk.  The Wadden Sea is no ordinary sea, as it is very shallow and during low tide it is possible to walk from the mainland to the nearby islands.  The fact that it’s possible doesn’t mean it’s easy or straightforward, but the dauntless witches slipped enthusiastically out of their white dresses and ran into the sea.  But after a few minutes, Hekske – while plodding  through the sticky mud - realized that the going was lot tougher than expected.  Luckily, the ‘tsjoenster’ knew the passage through this endless labyrinth of gullies and shoals.  Yet, it was still a long and grueling slog, and they had to hurry because they needed to arrive on the other side before the tide would come in again.  The closer they got to the island, the tougher it became and the 3 witches had to help each other through a series of increasingly deep gullies.  And strangely, while Hekske got more and more tired, the 1000 year-old Toltec witch seemed to become stronger and friskier.  But then, while they could see the Island at only half a mile’s distance, they had to cross a gully which was by far the widest and deepest they had encountered, with a treacherous undercurrent in the murky salt water.  Would they be able to reach the other side?  The tsjoenster was unable to find the shallow ford across the gully (which is constantly shifting its position) and she started to look a bit worried …

Hekske (the little witch) and Falke (the witch apprentice) gazed at the bright light of the near full supermoon and they were already feeling excited about their next witch coven. But this month, their bodies started to feel ticklish one day earlier than normal, so the witches decided to take off and fly in South-Eastern direction, following their inner compass. The girls flew much further than ever before, to a land which was much warmer than their home forest in Flanders. It was also drier, yet way more varied and diverse, a mosaic of Mediterranean shrublands interspersed with lush green valleys with olive and fig trees, which the girls had never seen with their own eyes before.
The girls flew straight towards a low mountain range, which was greener and cooler than the coastal areas. Then they saw a woman waving at them at the foot of an old tree. Hekske and Falke sensed that this woman was a witch and that they had reached their destination.
The witches gently touched down and got a warm welcome from the witch, who introduced herself as Suha. She pointed at the olive tree and told her guests that the tree had the same age as herself… a bit over 2000 years!!
Hekske and Falke looked in disbelief at each other and realized that the history of this part of the world goes much further back in time than in Western Europe. In fact, this area is the cradle of the sisterhood of witches! Suha explained that they were in the middle of the lush green Ajloun Mountains. For a long time, she was the only Palestinian witch left in the area, and she admitted that it was too much work to take care of all the trees. But now a new generation of witches is rising up. Suha pointed in the distance where 6 young witch apprentices were running towards them. The girls were full of energy and fire and gave a lot of hugs to their European guests. Soon these young witches would be ready to take care of the trees in all corners of the Levant, replacing non-native plants by native species, in order to restore the original ecosystem of this part of the world.
Then one of the girls pointed at the sky and they saw 3 witches flying towards them. These were all friends of Suha: Mona from Mount Druze, Hannah from Mount Carmel and Juliana from the Beqaa Valley. The people from this part of the world rarely get along these days, but inside the sisterhood of witches it’s all friendship, respect and love.
Suha led her guests to a nearby river, where they all slipped out of their white dresses and took a refreshing bath in the crystal-clear water, after which Suha gave new dresses to all her guests and to the 6 apprentices. These long dresses were all white with beautiful green, black and red patterns along the seams. Suha and the 6 girls had been working for 10 days to stitch these dresses together. They all tried their dresses on, and miraculously these were all a perfect fit. After this, Mona took her bag and pulled out another surprise: she had brought apricot paste from Syria (which is known to have the finest apricots in the world). The women immediately started preparing Qamar al-Din, a sweet traditional apricot juice. 
And Suha had also prepared ma’amoul, which are semolina cookies filled with figs, dates and pistachios from nearby groves. All the girls enjoyed these delicious cookies with Arabic coffee and a touch of cardamom. 
The women had such a great time that they hadn’t noticed the sun had already gone down. This would be the start of a long and unforgettable night, full of mystic ceremonies and ecstatic dances…
