Hekske ❋ The Magic Witchtapes Witchtape #144 | Guest Witch : Yara

On this glorious morning in March, Hekske (the little witch) woke up at the first sunlight. Falke (the 10-year old witch apprentice) was already awake and preparing their morning tea with the help of a family of squirrels. It was only a couple of days before the Spring equinox and finches and dunnocks were singing everywhere in the forest. Spring was in the air. 
After drinking a cup of herbal tea, the girls felt the urge to go and see the weeping willow which is standing in the middle of the central clearing of the forest. Soon, Hekske and Falke were standing at the foot of the giant tree, looking up in awe at its majestic dome-shaped canopy. This willow is by far the oldest tree in the forest and is believed to have been planted by Roxelana, the very first witch to live in these woods, which was over a thousand years ago. Hekske and Falke spontaneously gave a gentle hug to the age-old stem of the tree, and a feeling of sadness descended upon them. They were thinking back at all the animals who had died during the drought of last summer, and to all the trees which had been uprooted by the autumn storms. Both girls wept with thick tears rolling over their cheeks. After a while the Spring sun shone on the willow tree, and the witches looked at all the activity around them. A few meters away a hedgehog had just woken up from his winter sleep and popped up from underneath a pile of leaves. The young girls looked with tenderness while the drowsy animal was stretching his legs for the first time of the year. Falke casually touched one of the hanging branches of the willow tree, and to her amazement fresh green leaves unfolded in a matter of seconds. Then also Hekske touched another twig, which also magically turned green. The girls touched all the hanging twigs one by one, turning the whole tree in a fresh green color. When they looked around, they saw birds making nests everywhere. Their witch’s hearts filled with joy when looking at this hive of activity. Then something strange happened. A twig fell down just in front the girls’ feet. The witches immediately understood that the tree wanted this twig to be planted, just like the one the Ruthenian witch Roxelana (Роксолана) had planted at this very place, over 1000 years ago. Falke took the twig, and followed her inner voice to the place where they decided to plant this tiny little new willow tree. And this was the start of another journey of 1000 years …
