about five years ago, I undertook a journey to discover the secrets of flying witches. Grandpa's stories by Juan José Mejía-follower of Don Quixote and the wonder that is The Arabian Nights "knew that sailed the skies in a perfect triangle between Mira, Pimampiro and Urcuquí. Iban to Quito to bring news and top it off, turned heads with their lovers in banana or roosters, who are tied to the bedpost.
In northern Ecuador, as Illuchi witch in Bath, there are these fantastic beings that are different from northern witches who fly on a broomstick and wear black suits, and these days go rampaging through the celebration of Halloween, October 31, which according to Celtic myth is the day where the dead go.
