“Real witches dress in ordinary clothes, and look very much like ordinary women. They live in ordinary houses, and they work in ordinary jobs.”
Mai Elizabeth Zetterling - Helga

“Witches spend their time plotting to kill children, stalking the wretched child like a hunter stalks a bird in the forest.”
