About the Artwork
Do you swear to obey and respect your masters, as well as those in authority: to sweep attics, to spin tow, to beat timbrels, to howl, to yell, to fly, to cook, to anoint, to suck, to boil, to blow, to fry, each and every time you are ordered?—I swear—Then, my child, you are now a witch. Congratulations.
¿Juras obedecer y respetar a tus maestras y superiors? ¿Barrer desbanes, hilar estopa, tocar sonajas, ahullar, chillar, volar, guisar, untar, chupar, cocer, soplar, freir, cada y quando se te mande?–Juro.—Pues, hija, ya eres Bruja. Sea en ora buena.
