‘Witch’

‘A Witch’
by Edward Robert Hughes (1851 – 1914 British)

The witch card is about allowing the wild side of oneself, embracing the individual you are and letting her run free. The witch (wild woman) is one of the four archetypes embodying the feminine essence – The Maiden, The Wild Woman, The Nurturer, and The Wise Woman. She is also considered a magician, working with spells, herbs, animals and other such magicks. The witch is misunderstood, as she nourishes the soul as no other can, by following her true heart and mind, which often sets her apart from the standard or status quo. This card is about allowing yourself liberation, in small and big ways.
