A witchy grandma?
Sounds interesting. :)

you can be an honorary one

in italian culture Strega isn't always as negative as it can be in ours
it is usually an old woman who seems to have some knowledge and power
how she uses it is the "story"

that children's book has Nono Strega having a magic pot that makes delicious pasta
the story is like our sorceress apprentice
Nono is away helper wants to make pasta for lunch
the pot won't stop making pasta
everything is covered in pasta
it gets out the door and starts covering the village
Nono gets back just in time to stop the pot

Hugs

Women are beautiful, whatever age and life path.

true but ageism exists
and women are still the chief targets

Oh yes, but it's gotten much better over the past decades.
