In the foreword, the author writes: "There are good witches and bad witches; but the number of the bad witches is great, and the number of the good witches is small. And since the business of the good witches is mainly to undo the mischief made by the bad ones, their stories are not very interesting. " Manning-Sanders indicates that Tatterhood is the only tale in the collection that makes any mention of a good witch. Tatterhood is a Fairy tale collected by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe. The author goes on to say that bad witches are quite powerful and can fly on broomsticks, stalks of ragwort or even old jars.

Senecio is a Genus of the daisy family ( Asteraceae)that includes ragworts and groundsels.
