la curandera de serpientes

Bajo La Roca en el arroyo seco, la curandera besa serpientes para convertirlas en Vigilantes. Es un trabajo doloroso, pero...

I wanted to do another witch this year since I had the time. An exploration of a "good" witch that still felt unsettling. Originally I was just having fun thinking about how to incorporate her hair into a western hat, then went from there.
She lives under a rock that nobody is quite sure how she gets under, and comes out in the nights to gather rattlers. A kiss, and they're hers. Now Watchers and harmless of bite. The initial collection comes at a cost to the bare hand that grabs and pulls the snakes from their dens, but nothing La Curandera de Serpientes cannot withstand. Perhaps even she rather enjoys it...
