Incantations

I studied this painting closely; I'm interested in the idea of witches and what they were cooking up. It's an overall grisly scene; the fat, ugly witches are engaged in various nefarious activities while some poor chump has just been hanged, dangling over the whole scene.

Suddenly I noticed the witch in the middle left is looking at her iPad! She even has a stand like mine.
Is she reading a recipe to the white haired beauty to her right or is she casting a spell via the effigy in her left hand? Yikes, maybe that was Steve Jobs being channeled from 1646.

God, this is getting creepy...I think I'll ask the stewardess for a drink!! But hold the eye of newt, for Heaven's sake.
