Tongue of the Adders
Description: This simple rote has a history dating back to ancient Greece, but it is still common today.
System: This spell allows the witch to speak with and understand animals. Most animals, it should be noted, have very simple thoughts, and few have much to say about anything other than food, safety, and procreation.
