Quoth, the Raven familiar always gets the odd witches, the oddest of an odd lot. Take his newest charge: instead of having her magic awakened by the hormonal changes of adolescence, hers was awakened by menopause. And if that's not bad enough, she's a hippie who never accepted the "ex" of most Flower Children.
