Agony of a Witch: Analysis -Part 1 of 4-
So, I promised, and here is the analysis (I’m going to use Google Translator because I’m too sad that I can’t think very well right now):
About this, the fire intrigues me, as if something important was burned there, some say that it is like the storehouse of magic for the emperor.
The logo of the emperor's coven
We can analyze the triangle as a symbol of safety and of guidance, support.
The sword represents the king's strength against the people, in this case the submission of the witches to the emperor.
The circle can represent the government and at the same time, the infinite possibilities of magic that the emperor claims to have.
The eagle is how high the emperor feels, he feels superior. However, it can represent his wishes for freedom as well.
Obvious the crown, it is the symbolism of power.
In the handle of the sword, we can see as if those were bat wings, which could denote death and darkness. So we could say that, by holding that sword, we base on the darkness to exert force on the people.
Yellow may represent the emperor's selfishness.
This image is also important
The emperor's face is looking downward, which may represent a moral and psychic imbalance. And the head is facing forward, which represents majesty (but also it can represent demons).
That hand has an aggressive appearance, which can mean rejection, rejection of the light (sun). However, being somewhat closed, it can mean that they appropriate all knowledge (the sun can also mean knowledge).
Be careful with this: The mountains represent that difference between the "real" world and the divine or magical world, we see the hand and knowledge above these mountains (in the magical world), but where is the emperor? Down the mountains, in the human world.
Now look at this hand, it is very similar to the previous image, can we say that that hand is stealing knowledge / power / magic? Or on the contrary, could the hand be indicating submission?
This is rare, here Lilith did not resist the tree that did not even fall on her, but she did resist everything that she fought with her sister in the final battle.
Hence they say that it is Lilith's curse, related to birds (after all, she is a crow)
Note that when Luz asks her what would happen if Eda's magic were to end, she tells her that what would happen to her would be worse than death, however, that means it is not death. With this, we can assume that now that Eda is The Owl Lady forever, she may not have died so, we can still recover her.
This also makes me wonder, what if the emperor blamed Lilith (as a perfect excuse) for breaking the healing hat and thus not healing Eda from the curse? As an excuse, because I really don't think it will work, but that would be great for the emperor, so he doesn’t have to follow the plan of healing Eda...
Now, from here we can see that the castle is right in the middle of the islands, the highest part of the castle, could it be like a place where the emperor may be feeding on the magic of others? For example, to every person who joins a coven and loses all his other magic, what if he feeds on and takes advantage of that leftover magic?
This is strange, the fact that everyone has that perception of the emperor. If they think that he is powerful, they will also be afraid of him.
