COVEN TOTS The children of the coven being far too young to use the cauldron or the oven will often practice potions cold with gazpacho as a base First they make a witchy face then add spiderwebs and pumpkin guts cactus spines and hazelnuts Next they practice eerie chants which soon get boring Time to dance around the mixture tossing crumbs of hornet nests and rotting plums until the whole affair becomes a horrid stinky mess No magic is made but fun nonetheless
