Here is my crazy theory. The Hansel and Gretel story starts traditionally, with them going into the woods, and they can't find their way back because birds eat the breadcrumbs. They find the Blind Witch's house, and she wants to eat them. But here is the twist, instead of working together, Gretel decides she wants to learn magic, and so lets Hansel be eaten by the witch, in exchange for lessons in magic. Later on Gothel convinces the Blind Witch and Gretel to join her coven.
