The Summons
They began by sprinkling a holy mix of red and white
rose petals soaked in Ether on the flames beneath their
billowing cauldron. Of course, the crackling flames rose
wildly, heating up the sacred waters. Great billows of
smoke and steam rose up, up, up, and a blood curdling,
primal scream tore through the mist, as two spirits came
hurtling out of the waters, circling each other in the
air.
Their forms were fuzzy, but the twisted Germanic
and Polish howls echoing around the wooded hollow were
clear. There was no mistaking it - the summons had worked.
Quick! Yelled the wxtches, as they all surged forward,
surrounding the rising flames with earth, containing the
firing fury into a more manageable roar. With the embers
sealed, the Spirits then took their full formidable forms.
One, on the left, with her hair piled high and stuffed
into a corset, was clutching a book and smoldering with
rage. The other, on the right, was laughing maniacally
while smoking a long cigarette, a silken negligee draped
across her shoulders and breasts tumbling out beneath.
The wxtches stepped back in awe, almost in disbelief.
There they were in all their glory: Rosa Luxembourg and
Anita Berber. But there was no time to be caught up in
wonder!
Tentatively, one member of the Coven stepped forward
to address their guests.
