If you do not wish to be charmed — please, never let me make coffee for you.

I always manage with such witchcraft, so I simply must warn you. Do not let me enter your kitchen. Do not let my hands pick the jezve. Remember, that barely after the spoon with a long handle gives a jingle on the edge of a can with coffee, barely after the questions about cinnamon, ginger, chocolate or cream stop sounding in the air — you will be doomed. You’ll be fated to watch somebody high, slightly spineless, moving smoothly and gently, so as not to cause harm to anyone, gesturing, smiling, filling your mind with random legends, limericks, newborn fairytales… You may not notice that your eyes slowly become chained to my arms’ movement. You may not notice yourself relaxing. You surely won’t understand your becoming more and more accustomed to me, minute by minute.

Actually, I am the kind one of the wicked kind. I am not going to tell fortunes, curse, charm to death. You don’t need exorcisms to make me go away — just ask me politely.

But, just in case, if I already stand at the threshold of yours with jezve in my bag and maybe a light coffeeweed flower in my hair, think thirteen times before you decide to let me come in. I’m able to enchant you, if that can make you feel better — yet please, let me know you really wish that…

That’s not difficult for me.

After all, I’m a kind one of the wicked kind — remember?

'Coffeewitch' has grown from the coffeeweed scent, smoking in the kitchen and other little details... It turned out, that most of my friends feel themselves completely safe and relaxed, when I make coffee for them. The process itself looks, like a little bit of life sorcery, a ritual, a kind of witchcraft.

So I wrote this - for those charmed and charming people, who call me 'a kind one of the wicked kind'.)))

Let me know, if I made mistakes, for English's not my native language, please!

Music: Noir Désir ~ Des visages, des figures
Scent: cinnamon & toffee.)
Special thanks to Anton Afanasyev (Ithil) and Nataly Feliz (Tau), who were the first ones to taste my coffee.))) I love you, people.)))

I want some :(. The coffeewitch doesn't seem like the typical hag witch either. There'd be a subtle seductive side to her.

I got this strange image of you in the kitchen in a trance, and this spirit with transparent ripped garments flowing in the wind, hovering above you moving you about as if you where dangling on strings. "kinda like how the guy moves in ratatouille when the rat takes over"

And ontop of that you just reminded me of the movie "Chocolate".
Hot dark chocolate and chilly <3


oh, and for the record. Anyone can make coffee. But only very few people know how make GOOD coffee.

Wow! Really charming writing style!
I don't know if you know her work, but has that cozy feeling of Fred Vargas' (a French writer) books :3
