Once upon a time in a small village nestled deep in the forest, there lived an old witch named Agatha. She was known far and wide for her magical powers and her ability to brew the most potent potions. Agatha had always been an outcast in the village, as the people feared her and believed she practiced evil magic. But Agatha wasn't evil; she was actually quite kind-hearted and only used her magic for good. She would often help those in need, healing the sick and assisting the villagers with their daily tasks. However, the villagers refused to see the good in her, blinded by their prejudice and fear.
But when I see, “just use quartz/rosemary instead” as the generic advice for EVERYTHING, no matter what the missing component in question is, it makes me crazy.
And while that scene is all well and good for a Hallmark holiday movie, in reality, the thought of having to kiss someone simply because you ve both found yourselves underneath a bit of greenery is a little, uh, creepy. With a mix of green stems and red flowers, even the biggest holiday grump will be sure to get a kick out of seeing such a festive and unexpected plant in a hanging basket.
However, the villagers refused to see the good in her, blinded by their prejudice and fear. One day, a young maiden named Amelia found herself in dire need of Agatha's help. She was suffering from a mysterious illness that had plagued her for weeks.

Despite the villagers' warnings, Amelia knew she had to seek out the old witch's assistance. Amelia ventured into the dark forest, guided by a map she had obtained from an old book. The path was treacherous, but her determination pushed her forward. After what felt like hours, she finally arrived at Agatha's secluded cottage. The cottage was surrounded by blooming flowers and vibrant herbs, a stark contrast to the gloomy forest. Amelia knocked on the door, her heart pounding with anticipation. Agatha opened the door, her wrinkled face breaking into a warm smile as she recognized the young maiden. Agatha invited Amelia inside and listened to her story sympathetically. She examined Amelia's symptoms and realized that she needed a rare herb that could only be found deep in the heart of the forest. Amelia insisted on accompanying Agatha on the journey, desperate for a cure. As they ventured further into the forest, Amelia couldn't help but notice how different Agatha was from the rumors she had heard. She was gentle, wise, and filled with a deep love for nature. They reached a small clearing where the magical herb grew abundantly. Agatha carefully plucked the herb and began to brew a potion for Amelia. The pot bubbled, emitting a soft glow that filled the clearing. Amelia felt hope swell within her as Agatha handed her the potion. With tears of gratitude in her eyes, Amelia thanked Agatha and returned to the village. The villagers were astonished at Amelia's sudden recovery but refused to believe that Agatha had anything to do with it. Their prejudice remained, and they continued to fear the old witch. Amelia, however, couldn't forget the kindness and wisdom she had witnessed in Agatha. She vowed to change the villagers' perspective and spread the truth about the old witch's magic. She organized a gathering in the village square and shared her story. As Amelia spoke passionately about Agatha's benevolence and selflessness, the villagers began to question their own prejudice. Slowly, their hearts opened, and they could see past the rumors and fear. It was a transformative moment for the village as they realized the true power of acceptance and unity. From that day forward, Agatha was no longer seen as a wicked witch but as a wise woman who possessed great magic. The villagers sought her assistance and guidance, and she became an integral part of their community. The tale of Agatha and Amelia stands as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that it's important to look beyond superficial judgments. It teaches us the value of acceptance, compassion, and the incredible power of breaking free from prejudice..
