Stories: Halloween 2018 - The Witch's Brew

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a fenny snake,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of newt and toe of frog,

Wool of bat and tongue of dog,

Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,

Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn and caldron bubble.

Cool it with a baboon's blood,

Then the charm is firm and good.

Tonight.. before the lil ones go on to enjoy the last of the evening's festivities for Samhain after the pumpkin patch and trick or treat activities, they gather round the adult witch as she cooks a cauldron full of charm to make tonight's party more enchanting and fun for the kids.



As they gather together.. they also sing/chant the above poem Song of the Witches, by our favourite English bard William Shakespeare, as excerpted from his work Macbeth.  This, as adult witch figure also cackles as they recite the poem.


There's the charm potion brimming over the cauldron.

And of course, we've a lil one wandering about in their witchy cape and not really able to recite the poem yet.. Hehe!

Including another one who's excited just seeing the cute pumpkins and cauldron and being around other playmates from the fells and forests that have come to gather tonight.

Even Hello Kitty is right by our witch as she finishes brewing the happy charm...

And then off everyone goes to enjoy the last of the evening's activities.

The host awaits...
