I absolutely loved this, Gipsy, the tanka and your author's notes. I do have a passion for ghosts! lol. I wonder if you could get that youth potion for me, or even the recipe?? I would be very grateful. Where I live, near Cornwall, there are lots of witches, still active today, nice ones! And many stories going back over the centuries. This tanka is fabulous. Just to let you know, I just checked and apparently their is a wiccan coven in The New Forest, where I actually live! I'm going to check it out. Perhaps I'll be able to get the youth potion from them! Lol Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

    Hehe.... I need a youth potion too. My daughter is a Wiccan and plays around with herbs, candles, sage, and crystals.... nothing serious but it's interesting.

    Thank you very much,

    Gypsy 😊

One year when I taught first grade, I had a mother of one of my students who was Wiccan. Very interesting person and we had many conversations. Thank you for sharing the poem and presentation with us. I enjoyed both.

i find wicca magic interesting. . .
just not really into the spells and all

anyway, this was a great tanka about it!
i liked the personal imagery of bellia (cool name, too)
with the bird on the right sitting quietly next to her... nice.

love the line "sprinkled with stardust" - nice touch!

thank you for sharing!
shelley :)

Very vivid imagery created by your words and the picture. Is the youth potion to sustain her own youth? It is the desire of all I know to maintain and sustain youthfulness. Well presented and written.

You've definitely captured the creepy factor here, Gypsy! The old style vocabulary - wiccan and familiars - infuse a haunting, timeless quality into your atmospheric tanka. Thanks for sharing. Take care Debbie

I only learned about the familiars and about Wiccan terms from reading posts by Aryr. I hope she comes back. I haven't heard from her lately. Thanks for reminding me of her.

    I was a fan of Aryr. I know she was a Wiccan. I hope she is okay.

    Thank you very much, big sister,

    love ❤️
