Established witches like: So I’m using this sparrow’s skull that was delivered to me by my snake familiar, these nearly priceless gemstones, a few drops of Queen Elizabeth I’s blood, and the leaves of a long extinct plant that I had to contact my friend on the next planet over for. (Interplanetary import prices are off the charts!) Okay and I’m gonna put it in my cast iron cauldron (my favorite one!) and leave it out tomorrow night for 53 minutes starting at 11:46 pm because everyone knows that the best time for brewing what it takes for this spell is exactly 6,532 minutes into the new year based on the lunar calendar.
Me like: Okay I have a sharpie, an old red solo cup that might have some residue from the juice I used last time, some unfiltered water, and my imagination. Does anyone know if it’s June or July right now?
