    Those long cold winters in Vermont leave an indelible imprint on some residents....
    Personally, I gave up my broomstick several years ago. I traded it in for a Shark vacuum--much scarier!

    I didn't have a broom until I grew up, Mom had me learn to fly on her old green Kirby 1-CR vacuum...she said if I learned to handle that gracefully then I could fly anything. And slanted windows are really not a problem once you get the hang of keeping your head down and leaning at almost a 45 deg angle...but that angle really depends on the pitch of the roof, sometimes it's more and sometimes it's less. Trial and error is a good teacher, hitting your head on that window frame a couple of times teaches you to get better at math.

    Garlic repels Vampires, Witches use it in cooking. Using Garlic to repel witches is mainly a thing in western Spain. Never been there myself but I remember my Mom talking about her Mom flying around there when she was young. Silver bullets are used to take out Werewolves and in a Brothers Grimm tale one was used to take out a witch but that is just a made up story and we are talking about real life here.

    Sherry, it takes years to master the art of hex. I practiced a lot, which accounts for a couple of nasty people ending up as mosquitoes when I was trying to turn them into mice . . . . It can be done, just be patient. You can always recite incantations while practicing your flying.
