Agatha Stewart’s Witch Tea Party (Hexenmahl)

This is her friend Windy Cyndi named after Cyndi Lauper for her orange hair, who was invited to her Hexenmahl (a tea party for witches) for the special occasion (Ghouls Night Out!).

This is Agatha, Martha Stewart’s Sister witch. She’s the hostess of my Table for Two Witch Scene on our outdoor pergola.

The third seat is empty because her other guest got up to powder her nose, but her hat and broom are resting safely at her seat while the other two witches are gossiping behind her back.

A German rhyme that I recited for the children on Halloween night when they saw the Witch’s party.

In der Kuddelmuddelei, gibt es Hexen, zwei bis drei, Diese arbeitslosen Hexen, nähren sich an Spinnenkeksen, Kekse sind ihr leibgericht, Hast Du welche, schäm Dich nicht, Denn die Hexen freuen sich!

English translation, although it doesn’t rhyme in English.

In the kuddelmuddelei, there are witches two or three, These unemployed witches, Love to eat spider cookies, Cookies are their favorite course, Do you have some, don’t be ashamed, Because the witches love them!

Agatha’s mangy cat

Cyndi has had her fill of spiders and snails.

They’re feasting on shrunken heads, white mice, human eyes and for dessert, black spiders. As snacks they have snails in their shells and a few other delicasies.

Their drink is a witch’s secret but it’s color gives us a hint as to what it might be, while spiders are swimming around for added taste.

The ladies are wearing their Samhain best and Cyndi even brought her favorite butterfly purse to impress Agatha.

Agatha is a very happy hostess because her friends brought her a special Broom for the occasion, all spruced up with flowers and whatnot. She’s already imagining how she’s going to remove all the “pretties” and throw on a few spiders and rats and take off for a test spin on her new broom.
