When I was just a little girl, and my older sister was a teenager, she had a friend who always dressed in black lace and liked to draw black spirals coming out of the corner of her eyes. This friend told me that she was a witch, and that I could be a witch too if I liked. She said that the first think I had to do to prove to myself that I was really a witch was blow out a candle with my mind - so I spent a very very VERY long time sitting in front of a candle trying to blow it out with my mind. I was very very VERY disapointed when I eventually gave up.
