The three witches



Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

This little piggy will become king,
And this little piggy shall beget a line of kings.
This little piggy shall fall by one not born
Of a woman's womb!

By the pricking of my thumbs,
Something wicked this way comes.

  1. Wicked, indeed! I love it.

    (No worries, all is fair in the art of Magpie! Plus, my auntie had a healthy sense of humor.)

  3. Dearest Tess,
    What a relief! It was a great photo! And I IMMEDIATELY thought of what lovely Macbeth's three witches they'd be!

  16. this made my day :) I am hearing the voice from one of Macbeth's three witches. Last weekend, we had a photoshoot and I had to pull off a wicked witch character. I should have read this before I went to the cemetery.
