Creation and Usage Notes

Very first line of the season and we needed to figure out how to handle "let's"! As I recall, this one was Jessie's idea. If you break it down, it means "as one coven", followed by the command form of the verb. Utter brilliance. Right from the start I knew I'd made the right choice in choosing a partner.
