The clouds are dancing with a light in the distance creating dark shadows, the air is thick and moist. You can almost taste the darkness. A storm is brewing, and Lizzie knows she must cast her spell before the dark moon falls. The year is 1953 and something wicked threatens the witches of Waco.

Once completed, she will soak them in a protection brew made from precisely hand selected herbs grown in her garden, with hints of Lavender, Rosemary, Mint and Nettle, she heats her mother Flora's cauldron in the fire the same cauldron used for generations, lifting the old iron tub to hang on a metal pole over the fire. Sparks fly as the embers change from blue to yellow and eventually to red. The ingredients must be carefully measured and added ever so slowly. For extra protection she adds essential oils of Frankincense and Myrrh to make it just right. Keeping a well stocked magical pantry of sachets, ointments, brews, incenses and oils, Lizzie delights in putting herbs to work, aligning their powers, mingling energies as she mixes leaves and oils.
