Historical writings tell us that witches could take the form of other animals and beasts, to hide from mortals and move about safely.
The most common we read of being cats, toads or hares. This is only partly true.
For a witch to shapeshift, she must have inherited the ability through the bloodline of her family (werewolves are a rare example of this genetic trait), or she must do so with magic. The power required for a witch to transform herself from human to creature is enormous.
For those who are not naturally blessed with this ability, this is a path which few can attempt, let alone complete successfully.
The gift of shifting is passed down but the type of animal that the person shifts into is not. During their teens, a witch will start having vivid dreams, and those visions will indicate what animal they will eventually transform into. Some rare individuals are able to shift into more than one creature, but you will find those only once in every five generations.
A witch will show traits of the animal they transform into from their first metamorphosis. Eyes will grow larger, ears change shape and hair will often take on a different colour.

It's important to look after your emotional health. If you feel the need to reawaken the old gods who slumber in dim forests to make your next birthday truly memorable, just go for it. You deserve to be happy.

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

I talked to Mitch McConnell today for twenty minutes. He says he's a dracula now but he's the "good" kind of dracula that only drinks tomato soup. I asked him how that was different from his normal Thursday lunch and he grew furious and lunged at me with a ivory-handled dagger made of damascus steel
