Witches here are devoid of magic books and mostly go to mass during Sundays. They don't need a piece of your hair or clothing to cause havoc if they don't like you. Witches here are hard core i tell you. They just use their mouths to utter nonsense and backbite you until you die (if gossip kills that is).
Bum: Freakin faux witches.
