When witches go riding

And black cats are seen,

The moon laughs and whispers

‘Tis near Halloween

 

There is one word in the dictionary that brings misunderstanding, fear, and condemnation.  That word is…

WITCH

 

For over four centuries, those who were different were cursed with the title of witch.  Even now in the 21^st century, women and children are still being hunted due to outdated religious beliefs and superstitions based around the word ‘witch.’

 

Not at Spooky Hollow!
Spooky Hollow is a safe place for all creatures,
not matter their beliefs.

 

It was during the darkest moon and a shadow less night we heard a slight whirl of the wind. This was followed by the crunch made by footsteps on a frosted ground. Out of the darkness she came as if she were the darkness herself.

 

“Loretta… Is my name…” said the witch with her broom in her hand and her familiar at her feet.  “I seek sanctuary… for I am of one the humans hunt. Will you please, grant me refuge?”

 

“Of course…” we said.  “Please come and rest here at Spooky Hollow…”

 

Since 2003, Loretta the Witch has made her home among the creatures who live in Spooky Hollow. Many have come far and wide to seek Loretta’s knowledge of healing herbs. No longer is she hunted and no longer is she scared, for she is well loved here.

On the darkest of moons in the secrets of nights, another witch arrived. A witch named Broom Hilda. But we cannot see her, for all we can see is her black hat and broom. What happened to her, we inquire.

 

“Oh…” she laughs. “It’s the power of three, you see. The energy I put out to thee – well it came back to me three-fold. In other words, I got caught in one of my spells!”

 

With a chuckle by all, Broom Hilda is welcomed to Spooky Hollow in 2024.

 

There are many whispers upon the wind…

More witches are coming…

For on the darkest of nights...

You may see a broom in flight.

CAUTION!
