The Goddess calls for her Tithe on a Friday night.
It’s inconvenient. I had plans to stay in tonight, catch up on some TV,
maybe get tipsy off the half-full box of wine in my fridge and make a sad
little charcuterie board out of whatever I could dig out of my pantry. An
exciting night, I know, but that’s just me. Living for thrills.
Instead, I’m standing outside in an unseasonably chilly May evening,
surrounded by three hundred other witches in an upstate New York wood.
Shivering against the stiff breeze through the trees, I’m reminded for
the hundredth time that I should’ve changed before the drive here. I’m still
wearing what I put on for work this morning: a knee-length, sleeveless
purple dress, flats, and a light cardigan. The outfit was perfectly fine during
the sunny afternoon, but is doing nothing now to keep out the cold. I’d be
much warmer in one of the thick woolen cloaks and petticoats my
foremothers used to wear when they practiced here.

The call about the Tithe came during my lunch break, and since coven
lands are a three-hour drive north from the little town of Beech Bay where I
live, I hadn’t had the time to swing by my apartment and change. Well, not
unless I wanted to slink in late and embarrass my mother.
Though, maybe that’s unavoidable at this point.
I shift uncomfortably in shoes meant for brunch and Target runs, not
traipsing through tangled woods, and really, really hope this doesn’t last
long. I’m not thrilled with the idea of nodding off on the long drive back
home. Or freezing my ass off out in this forest.
A ripple of movement and murmurs snakes through the crowd as the
coven leaders take to the worn wooden dais near the front, speaking among
themselves. Their faces are in shadow, but it’s easy enough to mark each
familiar witch by posture and aura of power alone.
Beyond the dais, the rest of us stand in near-darkness. It’s a new moon
tonight, and besides the stars the only other light comes from the torches
burning on the dais.
And from the faint glimmering of the Veil.
The night air is crisp and fresh, but as always with gatherings like this,
it’s tinged with a faint metallic edge. Magick, pure and potent, weaves its
way through the crowd. It’s not only from the witches, but seeping from the
Veil itself—one of thirteen portals spread across the globe that separate the
human world from the realms beyond.
It’s the reason we’re all here. Tonight, one of us will step through that
ethereal doorway and straight into the demon realm, bound by the Goddess
to marry a demon of Her choosing.
