Do you have an affinity with black cats? (here I am about cats again!) Do you have a big cauldron? Are you fond of black pointy hats? Do you have a friendly relationship with spiders and toads? Do you use a broom for transport? Do you feel energetic when there's a full moon? If you said yes to all that, then fairytale has it, you are indeed a witch. Congratulations! or My apologies...Depends how you take it. Nowadays, witches aren't always portrayed as unsightful nor vile as they used to be. There's Sabrina, blond and pretty and look at Kiki (Kiki's Delivery Service created by Hayao Miyazaki; excellent movie, you can't miss!) so cute and adorable! And there is Glinda too, from the Wizard Oz. Glinda is the good witch with such a silvery voice, as opposed to her sister the Wicked Witch of the West, the mean grotesque looking one. And then there is a third kind of witch. Those who can easily kiss a booboo away, those who can scare the monsters under the bed, those who can make any little thing alright, those who can make an old green shirt into a Peter Pan costume (well alright, maybe into a Leprechaun!). That proves they have magical potential according to the witch's handbook, but in the real world, we call them Mothers. Mothers could be scary as witches, I couldn't agree more. So if you are a mother and you do not wish to fall into the bad witch category, follow these *two-hard-and-fast rules:
1. The Witch's Rede: "As it harms none, do what you will"
2. Threefold Law: "Whatever you do, returns to you threefold"
If you follow these rules, you might graduate with honors at Hogwarts. And maybe, motherhood will just be well nigh magical.
Go witch!
