The Farmer and the Witch

Among witches, there is a tradition of keeping a grimoire, a personal book of magical secrets and spells that can be tucked into blankets for safekeeping during hasty escapes or passed on to daughters upon death. Unfortunately, as a first-generation Witch descended from Baptists, Margaret had no such wisdom passed along to her and no experience of grimoires. There were rumours of a great-great-aunt who had told fortunes and performed in vaudeville wearing snakes draped around her neck, but alas, no books or anything of “that sort” had filtered through the spiritual sanitizing of the born-again generations.
