Blackened Spit of Witch's Brew |

As bubbles boil the cauldron’s fire upon the blackened spit. A witch’s brew from evil’s lair consuming souls forthwith. For in this boil of hissing brew a heart once beats, now still. A toughness of the sloven chew against a lover’s will. The chanted words and eyes of frog within the lacing cast. Of haunted deeds, of gruesome grog and bubbles till the last. A spell upon the mirror nigh, a wish to own the mind. A horrid scream and ghastly cry from out the darkness blind. From shriveled hands and sharpened nail, from warts of nose and ear. A daemon’s mind in psychic flail in wait of something drear. And when the dance befalls the moon of full and brightest light. A cackling sound, a devil’s croon shall ply the darkened plight. Till morn is broke upon the moor of bog and quaking swamp, a witch shall cast a lover’s lure and wait the devil’s romp. [This message has been edited by Magnus (07-02-2003 09:25 PM).] |

Although this particular brew is not of my tradition, it made me smile nevertheless. Much fun, Mag.  |

Excellently woven...the rhythm has a constant bite to it giving it the evil aura of its subject. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
