Get ready for something a bit wicked, very wild and extremely wicked with Nikki Prince, and her fellow contributors from A Cauldron of Tales. And while I don't usually feature "explicit," be warned with that steamy excerpt ...
Witches and broomsticks... I
bet you visualize a woman with a long, warty nose and a pointy hat riding a
broom across the moon. That’s what we’ve been told for years, yes?
*evil cackle*
You see, there was a time,
long, long ago, when witches were any woman that didn’t conform to society’s
rules. You took a few herbs, you were a witch. You lived alone, you were a
witch. You didn’t go to church, you were a witch. Imagine what Puritan England
would think of recreational drug users?
Witches!
Truth was, many “witches” back
then were drug users, women who used and escaped into hallucinogens. A drug was
very popular, belladonna, and taking it allowed them to “dance with the devil”
or whatever it was they imagined themselves doing.
But here’s the catch. They
didn’t shoot it up. There were no needles and syringes. And it tasted bad.
Awful.
So it had to be applied to an
open wound or to your membrane. Take a wild guess, then, where you got some
major mucus membranes, ladies, and think about that broomstick.
The “witches” did, indeed,
shove broomsticks up their vaginas, with the ointment applied to the tip.
And
that is how Devil’s Berries came to be.
I first read of this in The
X-Files: Book of the Unexplained Volume Two.
I Googled and found more. http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1344/whats-the-deal-with-witches-and-broomsticks
There are tons more articles on
the subject of witches “riding” those brooms. J
Happy Halloween!!!! Enjoy your
broomsticks, ladies.
Excerpt from The Devil’s
Berries:
Sabine lay on the bed of hay in the center of
the room. The bowl of belladonna was on the floor by its side. She placed a
finger in the concoction, raised it to her lips for an experimental taste, and
grimaced at the horrid bitterness. But she had no open wounds, and she wasn’t
going to inflict one, not when her mother had told her of another way. But
first, she’d have to prepare.
She began with languid strokes up and down her
breasts and belly. A warm build up started in her core and spread its warmth to
her face, where it flushed her. Heat formed in her mound, where it grew damp,
and then down to her toes, which curled. She ran her hands down to her core,
touched herself there, moaned at the sticky feel. She began to stroke her
little nub. Womanly juices began to drip onto her fingers.
Soon her body was relaxed enough, and she
grabbed another object ready for her use from next to her bed. Taking a deep
breath, she dunked the end of it into the devil’s berries, and after coating
the broom’s smooth-sanded handle with the liquid, slowly and tentatively placed
it at the entrance to her moistened pussy.
Sabine thrust it inside her in one stroke and
gasped at the pleasure and pain of it. She tossed her head back and allowed a
guttural cry to rent the air. Briefly, she lost her wits.
She didn’t know how much time passed as she lay
there writhing, squeezing her breasts, stroking her belly, tweaking her nub,
but as she came to from her latest explosion, she became aware of a presence in
the room. A feeling of darkness and the smell of decay. She gasped. Had they
come for her…?

Blurb:
In The Devil’s
Berries, readers are taken back to Renaissance England where Sabine, facing her
last night alive, reveals how the witch really came to be associated with the
broomstick. Will her nightly visitor bring her more trouble or will he give her
peace?
Cindy can’t
decide if she’s Hexed Or Vexed her longtime friend, Killen. All she knows is
that one second he was her very manly friend, and the next, he’s a dog.
Can her Witchy Group on Facebook help her fix the mess, or will she be burdened
with a comical canine companion the rest of her days?
Willow Vance is
a poor excuse for a witch, and by some stroke of luck, the six-year-old Past
Potion she crafted worked. When the hexed warlock finds out about Willow's
curse, he will stop at nothing for her to lift the spell. Willow can run, but
does she want to?
Alone for
Halloween, Bryn is ready to take some frustrations out on her purple
battery-operated toy, but she’s in for a surprise when the Toy Soldier becomes
a flesh-and-blood man. Grateful to be free of his plastic curse, Byron will do
anything for her...no matter how naughty.
A dance of
seduction under The Light of the Moon turns into a night of passion, but will
that be enough for Aponi to keep the man of her dreams enchanted? Or will the
flame that was ignited die out just as quickly as it sparked?
Danica finds
herself confused after a trip to the carnival with her best friend and
coworker. She’s been attracted to Lisette for months, but are her feelings
really being reciprocated, or was there A Sappho Spell cast in Madame Lilith’s
tent?
