(Also known as Charlotte's Web)
Before I tell you how to perform the ritual, I'm going to give you some backstory. Charlotte is supposedly a 7-year-old girl whose mother was accused of being a witch and burned at the stake sometime during the 1400s. According to legend, after her mother's death, Charlotte fled to the woods to escape, where, with no means of survival, she perished.
this story may or may not be true, however, based on how she acts around a fire or any open flame, there may be some truth to it.

Play at your own risk.

Additional Notes:
