little child of the west wind

Concept: I live in an old creaky cottage with three massive wolfhounds. I wear exclusively long, soft cotton dresses and scratchy sweaters. My glass-walled greenhouse is bursting with all manner of plant life, and the folks from the village come to me for little spells and herbal remedies. The air always smells like rain.

don’t forget the racist and antisemitic roots. why do negative images of witches have large elongated noses? why is there chanting in some unknown language and dancing for witches that are “uncivilized”? so much anti-witch stereotypes are rooted in hatred for cultural practices from jewish ppl and nonwhite ppl. don’t forget that. antiwitch shit is not solely antiwoman. and woc and jewish women are gonna be dealin w/ the brunt of it.

^ You’re right. People also demonized different cultures and attached parts of the cultures they hated to witchcraft, too.

THIS. This so many times. If you call yourself not racist or sexist and still use “witch” as an insult, you’re doing it wrong.
