As they walked, Magda began to explain. "Well, it's a long story. You see, when the boys moved out, there wasn't anyone left to do anything for, so little by little I began neglecting everything until it finally came to this. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall, year after year, through rain, sleet, hail and burning summer heat I saw what it had been, instead what it was becoming. Then one day, not long ago in fact, my eyes opened and I saw what you see now. That was when I got busy and decided to do all of this. I guess you could say I'm trying to put the pieces of my world back together again." Feeling a sudden sadness, she stopped and turned to Katrina. "And that's why you're here. You're doing a job for me just like the people you see here." With a sweeping hand, she indicated to different ones. "Landscapers, Carpenters, Electricians, Plumbers…" then hesitating, she turned back to Katrina, "…Witches. I'm just hiring you to do your part… but…” Magda lowered her face and frowned.

“What’s wrong?”

When her eyes looked back up, Katrina saw two deep pools of pain. “I just hope I'm not asking too much," Magda rasped.

Katrina smiled and said softly, "Not at all. In fact I've got my magic wand all shined up and ready to go."

Magda took a deep breath and forced a smile. "Then shall we get started? I've always wanted a Fairy God Mother."

"Just between you, me, and those mean lookin' soldiers over there, I think sending you to the ball complete with a new ball gown and pretty glass slippers would be a whole lot easier than what's in store for me here."

Magda halted and turned to Katrina, the pained expression back. "I am asking too much."

"Oh, hell no," Katrina chuckled, "I'm just joking. Come on, let's get started.” As they turned and walked toward the portico she waved her arms wildly, saying, "Abracadabra, bibbity bobbity boo!"

Magda chuckled. “I wish it was that easy.”

“Not me,” Katrina replied. “If it was, I’d be out of a job.”

They stepped into the deep hush of the foyer, and Magda turned to Katrina. “I thought this might be best. It’s large, and you can use this table here as an altar.”

“It seems perfect,” Katrina said, looking around. Then putting her bag down, she began setting up.

As Katrina worked, Magda noticed that the very atmosphere had suddenly changed. She watched Katrina move very slowly and methodically, taking from her bag four white candles and one black one.

"You see, the white candles represent goodness, and the black candle represents evil. The white candles are being placed at the East, West, North and South, and the black candle is in the center. The purpose of this placement is that during the ceremony, supposedly the white candles draw the evil from the center one, into them. As they burn away, so does the evil." Opening up another part of her bag, she pulled out a beautiful white robe and hood.
