Wizards
and Witches and Ghosts, oh my! (Okay, that's enough of that...I swear...) Seriously,
what would Halloween be without an adorable little poppet showing up at your
door with black dress and pointy hat? After all, witches and wizards have been
around since the most ancient of times, working their magic in every culture throughout the world.

Take the beautiful sorceress, Circe, for instance. In her forest home near the Adriatic Sea,
she kept sailors as pets. After luring them to shore with her enchanting songs,
she would turn them into pigs, bears and wolves. Not half bad when one
considers what she did to Scylla, the nymph. Now Scylla had a shepherd lover
that Circe desired as well. So, Circe created a spell that would rid her of her competition. She poured the emerald green liquid into the sea where Scylla bathed and then disappeared.
