Which Witch means Which?

Aunt Maria was an interesting read but kind of agitating at the same time. A family that loses their husband/father goes to visit his Aunt Maria over Easter. The children, Mig and Chris, absolutely don’t want to go and hate visiting her but their mother forces them to go. Mig and Chris should stop being miserable and appreciate the fact that they have some part of their father left. If they actually enjoyed seeing her she probably wouldn’t have turned one of them into a wolf.

            Aunt Maria is extremely annoying. She’s a lazy probably fat old lady that wants to do nothing for herself, ever. Making her relatives feel bad that she would actually have to do something for herself. There mom feels obligated to follow her orders instead of just calling her out on it. I guess it’s a good thing they are following her orders so she doesn’t do something to them out of spite.

            Me personally, I’m not a huge fan of witches either. I like witches that are more like the witches in The Craft that I had mentioned in my previous post. I believe witches to be people who are spiritual and connected to the earth more than others not ones that have wands, pointy hats and cast life threatening spells. 

            The term of what I believe to be witches fascinates me so much. Being one with your mind and connecting to the environment and elements around you can be something so powerful to have. It lets you control more of your life and your surroundings. It is like a form of meditation. Once you know more and become one with yourself you can have anything you want. That doesn’t necessarily mean “witch” but if witches were real that’s what I think they would be described as. A witch is someone who has the power to control his or her own life.

            This book was a fun read as a little adventure but I would have loved it more if it had some crazy things in it. It was a little typical with her changing Chris into a Wolf. That is such a typical witch thing to do. There needs to be a book of witches doing gory, gruesome and crazy things to really exaggerate the meaning of “witch.”
