"I chose the theme of Witch Practitioner: Madame E reads palms, tarot cards, and sell spells and potions. Inside the window, each level of the corner shelf shares more detail about Madame E and the Craft (runes, crystal ball, alter, and her Grimoire)."

"Cast out from the main campus to the farthest depths of the desert (Buckeye) a group scheming witches have formed a coven in an inconspicuous building (it’s bright orange). They spend their time crafting curses (sending emails), mixing potions (making coffee), and striking fear into the hearts of trespassers (helping students). Some speculate that their sour attitudes are a result of missing out on main campus perks like “popcorn Tuesdays”, free leftovers, or grab-and-go lunches (Regions, please deliver out here, we are hungry too). However, we may never know the real reasons behind their devious nature and cruel attitudes."
