Edith wasn't real witch. At least, not the one every Hollywood soaked individual expected to find. She had no spells, no magic incantations, no potions or hidden compartment hats. She used sleight of hand, a bit of misdirection, things any quick-fingered thief could learn, and suddenly she was just the right combination of mystical and off putting to run the gauntlet of witchhood. But despite an inability to ride a broomstick into the sky and summon a cat from the depths of a shadow, she did have among her arsenal something undeniably mystical. short Edith could see the future.
