The Sisters'

There is a long standing joke in the family, that the Witches of Eastwick were missing one....
There are four sisters in the family, each reminds me of the points on a compass, and the four elements.

My mother Linda reminds me of Earth: Grounded, nourishing,colorful,adapti

ng, she is difficult to traverse but once you have you find an oasis of the heart. She is as strong as stone, but can be as easily pushed as sand through your fingers, long with standing, the foundation of home. She can erupt in anger and you better run for life, but the lava cools quickly and new ground is formed, treed carefully.

My aunt Janet reminds me of Fire: Intense, warm, glowing, she dances like the flame, and is charming to the moths of your mind, fleeting, flighty,constant like the sun, her happy personality calls to your inner child, and is missed when she is not near, like the sun in December. She can burn you when she is angry, but she will caress you soon after.

My aunt Rosalyn reminds me of Wind/Air: Breezy,calm, constantly moving maybe not from place to place but from thought to thought, whimsical, silent yet loud, she can be forceful, she can be coaxing,she has many colors, she is painted, she can be as violent as a tornado and blow you away, and then bring you right back to life with her laughter.

My aunt Norma-Jean (a.k.a Pokey) reminds me of Water: She moves to the currents of her body, as calming as falling rain on a lake at dawn, as terrifying and changing as the sea, she is like a river you never cross but settle near by, her emotions are as cycled as the tides pulled by the moon, the universal solvent, everything goes through her, dissipates, and yet is apart of her.


At one point or another they have to move, going far from and then coming close into one another, like the pulsing of a vein. My aunt Norma-Jean to the North, My aunt Janet to the west, My Mother to the east (really the south east put for the purpose of this descriptive I'm saying east ) My aunt Rosalyn to the south. Now they are moving closer again.

You can feel the energy around them when they are all together, and you just know...the possibilities for the impossible are just able to happen.

They are magic, terrifying, fascinating magic.
You may disagree with it, but you can't dispute it.
