Was it Witchcraft? Magic? We weren't sure. We were just children. But we were witness to a manipulation of all things that abound. There was influences on objects of nature. Emanations of psychic force. Like on cold nights where an ethereal spirit box would quietly hum as it breathed warm air into our play room. (turned out to be a heater). Or where magically an upright coffin full of tasty morsels stood at the ready for hungry tummies. (Later we recognized it as a refrigerator). Where mysteriously cold water turned hot, spilling from an orifice into a cauldron where upon us kids were placed like happy little guppies. (this we later knew as a bathtub). Was it super natural powers, magic, sorcery? Back then it was. Because me and sister were just little kids. And the SHE in control of all these magical powers? She was our mother.
