Chapter 63 - Daughters of Darkness

Tansy Paxton arrived at The Murky Cauldron an hour before the store opened, popping on the lights as she walked through the front door. She stopped just inside the store, inhaling deeply, the stale lingering aroma of incense barely noticeable. Wanda would arrive in another thirty minutes, which gave Tansy plenty of time to do what she felt necessary, considering the chaos the small store saw over the past month.

A couple of weeks ago, she taught Sherri Rockford, or rather, Regina Hawthorn in Sherri’s body, how to perform an aura cleansing. Now, the time came to perform a cleansing for the store, purifying it of all the negativity that crossed the threshold. The Murky Cauldron needed to be rebalanced, and Tansy put it off long enough. Therefore, she came in early that morning to perform a smudging of the store to start the coven back off on the right foot.
