A chill runs down your spine as you run a finger over the strange symbols embossed into the leather cover of the seemingly ancient tome. "Silly" you think. It's your imagination running amok. Or perhaps the excitement associated with handling something of such historical significance. Not significant because of the contents – you haven't even opened it yet – but simply because it is old. Very old.
Carefully opening the book – the language is not familiar to you, but not entirely unfamiliar either. As a teacher of both English and History, with a knack for languages, you can see the definite Latin influence. There's also some suggestion of Old German, and maybe some Czech? Your Great Grandmother might know, if she were still alive.
A few minutes of examination in the little used book store suggests it is a book on magic. Something you don't believe in – or something you don't think you believe in. Then again, as a devout Christian – you have never questioned the existence of the Supernatural. It's just something you've never been forced to work out in your own mind. If God is real, is Satan real? If angels exist, do demons exist? Yes, but it's not something we tend to worry about as we go about work and shopping and picking up the dry cleaning and deciding what to do for dinner.
You start to make out many of the words in the first chapter – the first of many. It seems to be about exercises, both mental and physical, to get in touch with the hidden forces surrounding you. The second chapter is much more difficult to decipher – flora and fauna and the unique powers that come from mixing the right ingredients with the right – incantations?
Deeper into the book, you run across pages adorned with illustrations – mostly of the naked human female variety. And after that, of sexual positions. It isn't some form of ancient pornography, however. One of the chapter's titles you were able to make out – something about defining the feminine, and the next was something about a "seductress" – and then you remembered a word you'd heard from bedtime stories your great grandmother told you before she passed. Čarodějnici
Witch.
And the illustration – a beautifully proportioned naked feminine form, standing, with a male on each side kneeling – one dressed as a priest, the other as a king.
Defining the feminine. Embracing the seductress. Unleashing … the witch.
You came into the little used book store looking for ideas – for inexpensive books appropriate for reading assignments for your 9th grade English classes. You left with a book costing over two thousand dollars. Left behind on the table where you had been sitting before deciding to peruse the "rare book" section was a pile of Mark Twain, Jane Austen, and even a couple of Shakespeares for your more promising students.
For now, you will have to keep it hidden from your husband. You'd promised he could use that much of your joint savings for a fishing boat.

This is the story of your character and her transformation from … from what? Frumpy? Overweight? Frustrated? Disenchanted? Bored?
And her transformation to what? Powerful? Manipulative? Seductive? Successful?
--
My plan is to play the husband – a nice guy, average looks, average intelligence, average abilities, average ambitions, or maybe even a little above average in some areas and below average in others. The only thing for certain is he has a major Femdom fetish – something your character never really understood, but occasionally indulged, because that what wives do for their husbands, right?
"Be careful what you wish for, hubby."
And I'll play the various men (and sometimes women?) your character encounters along the way? The cop who stops her for speeding. The cashier at the convenience store who doesn't charge her for her purchase. The neighbor who washes and waxes her car.
The minister … who offers a unique challenge?
And maybe something more decidedly evil. The High Priest of a Satanic Coven? Maybe a more experienced Witch to mentor your character? Or does she find a suitable disciple with whom she can have a bit of naughty fun?
But it isn't going to be that easy for her - it won't all happen immediately – that's why the book is so thick.
