Celtic Fairy Tales: The Horned Women
Author: Joseph Jacobs
There once was a rich woman who was sitting with her servants around her carding and preparing wool.
There was a knock at the door and the woman got up to answer. At the door was a witch with a horn growing from her head. She entered and began carding and preparing wool.
The knocking continued for a total of 12 times. Each with that came had one more horn than the one before.
The woman was under their spell and couldn't move or speak. They eventually proposed that she make them a cake. So she went to gather the necessary ingredients needed to make a cake.
The Spirit of the Well took over and demanded that the witches break the curse and leave town. They were reluctant at first, but left in a hurry, all crying and screaming. The Spirit of the Well had won and helped the rich woman.
