The witch calev, also known as the witch calev, referring to Calev Ben Yefuneh, was a biblical figure mentioned in the Book of Numbers in the Hebrew Bible. He was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the Promised Land of Canaan. Calev, along with Joshua, was one of the two spies who gave a positive report about the land, encouraging the Israelites to conquer it. However, the other ten spies spread fear and doubt among the people, causing them to lose faith in God's promise. As a result, the Israelites were condemned to wander in the wilderness for forty years until the faithless generation had died. Despite the prevailing fear and doubt, Calev remained steadfast in his belief in God's ability to deliver the Promised Land to the Israelites.
At Elyon's Coronation, the Guardians saw him in the crowds with the other rebels, waiting and watching to protect the young princess in case Phobos tried to harm her. When Phobos's true evil intentions were revealed, Caleb leapt into action and confronted the dark prince himself. Unfortunately, Phobos recognized Caleb as the Murmurer who broke out of his control and, as punishment for leading the rebellion, Phobos transformed Caleb back into a Murmurer in its most primitive form: a crystal-blue flower.

40 41 He learnt his father, Julian, fell romantically in love with the Mage seventeen years ago, but Caleb also learnt that the real Mage died eighteen years ago and Nerissa took the Mage s place meaning Nerissa is Caleb s mother. For all the family s talk of grace and mercy, then, they don t experience those spiritual virtues at all as they live within the confines of William s proud, performance-oriented legalism the trait that caused him and his family to be exiled in the first place.
Despite the prevailing fear and doubt, Calev remained steadfast in his belief in God's ability to deliver the Promised Land to the Israelites. He spoke out against the other spies, stating that the land was indeed fertile and abundant, and that the Israelites were well-equipped to conquer it with God's help. Calev's unwavering faith earned him the respect and favor of God.

I had the opportunity to watch The Witch the day before last. Your ask reminded me of the message I had received about it when the movie was still in theaters and realizing it was out for digital download, I jumped at the chance to finally see it. I wanted to wait to respond to your message until then so that I could discuss the movie properly.
For those of you who are not familiar, The Witch (subtitled “A New England Folktale”) is about a Puritan family living on their own in colonial America. They traveled over from England and fell onto hard times after a dispute with the townsfolk. There are the two parents (both actors are Game of Thrones alumni); the eldest child and main character, Thomasin; her younger brother, Caleb; the two significantly younger children, a boy and a girl, twins – Jonas and Mercy; and then the newest baby, Sam. Ages aren’t given, but I would estimate that Thomasin is about 15 and Caleb is about 12 (as you said, @serendipitous– ). Jonas and Mercy seem to be 6ish. After baby Sam disappears, the family begins to unravel. As the title suggests, there’s a demonic/witchy presence involved, and it preys on them and they begin to doubt one another.
First, I want to say that I really liked the movie in general. Supernatural horror is not my genre but this movie is excellent. Everything about it is so gracefully understated. You catch glimpses and have feelings about something terribly wrong but it’s very subtle and atmospheric. Even though the focus is on what is happening/coming, you still get a sense of who the characters are in a way that isn’t always done so well in other movies of this kind. And there’s a lot of psychological horror going on at the same time. Even though there is a force causing trouble, they cause each other a lot of trouble too. I love seeing very simple stories done very well. And, I just have to say, those final scenes were so delightful. The second to last scene – well, it was worth the entire movie just for that. I’m still giggling with creepified delight.
Moving on to Thomasin and Caleb’s relationship. Well, I loved it. As @serendipitous– said, there are incestuous undertones. Caleb has a budding sexual attraction towards Thomasin. We see him glancing at her chest several times, but this makes him uncomfortable.
I actually really like the way it was handled and his attitude towards it. He fights it a little. He can’t help but notice her neckline but he doesn’t really indulge himself in ogling her. I think the movie did a really good job of balancing that relationship. He’s intrigued by her body but he also loves her more than anything.
Almost certainly this is partly due to the family’s isolation. They haven’t been on their own for very long – only a few months – but it’s a critical time for Caleb. The inclusion of incest may also have something to do with their puritanical values. The movie might be suggesting that the repression of sexuality in their society leads to…unfortunate consequences.
Caleb and Thomasin both have a lot of responsibility on their shoulders. Thomasin is often tasked with taking care of the younger ones, and we can tell from Caleb’s serious manner and interactions with his father that he also shoulders a lot. This has made them close. They are both stressed out and take a certain amount of refuge in each other. They are also much closer to each other than they seem to be to anyone else in the family. Their parents are strict, religiously, so it’s only natural that Caleb and Thomasin are more comfortable around each other. Because of the much larger age difference, it’s hard to reach any definitive conclusions about this, but it also seems that Thomasin loves Caleb more than her other siblings. But that could also be because Jonas and Mercy are burdens to her, and Caleb is a help.
As much as I enjoyed the hint of incestuous feelings, I appreciate even more the loving relationship we see between Thomasin and Caleb. When Thomasin sees that Caleb is upset, she pulls him into her arms and you can see how comforted and happy he is to be held by her. They tickle each other, which is some of the only laughing we see in this movie. The characters all love each other but Caleb and Thomasin actually make each other happy.
And then when their parents are talking about sending Thomasin into service, and she is heartbroken, Caleb takes a huge risk (both putting his life in danger and risking his parents’ wrath) to make sure she doesn’t have to.
The last non-spoilery thing I’ll say is that, a horror movie being a horror movie, things don’t end well for anyone. So it’s not exactly a promising ending for the relationship. While the incestuous relationship does not get explored beyond what has already been mentioned, the mother does start ranting at Thomasin and accuses her of seducing Caleb. She says, “You bewitched thy brother, proud slut. Did you not think I saw thy sluttish looks to him, bewitching his eye as any whore? And thy father next.” Obviously the mom is losing her marbles at this point. It’s sadly no surprise that she blames Thomasin for Caleb’s feelings, though it’s interesting what she says all the same. Thomasin’s “sluttish looks” were most likely only playful, but who knows. Obviously the mother noticed Caleb checking Thomasin out. It is interesting that Thomasin was made to know about Caleb’s attraction towards her. (I’d say prior to that she had no idea.)
As for my spoilery comments, I guess I don’t have much to say, except it’s a shame that Caleb died, and so early too.
I can only take comfort in imagining what their life would have been like if they had enough money to survive and there was no witch business. The two of them getting older, and still isolated on their farm. Lots of potential there, especially since the canon material already introduced incestuous feelings.
Thank you to everyone who recommended the movie!
But their new position in life will be adequate and acceptable, William insists—against a rising backdrop of minor key violins that cinematically suggest otherwise. Their faith will protect them, he claims.
Unlike the other ten spies, who died in a plague for their lack of faith, Calev was granted the privilege of entering the Promised Land along with Joshua. Moreover, God promised him and his descendants a portion of the land as their inheritance. The story of the witch calev serves as a lesson in faith and courage. Despite enduring hardships and facing opposition, Calev remained faithful to God's promises. He serves as a role model for believers, encouraging them to trust in God's faithfulness and to stand firm in their convictions. In conclusion, the witch calev was a biblical figure who displayed unwavering faith and courage in God's promises. His actions and words were instrumental in restoring hope and faith among the Israelites. The story of Calev serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of trust in God during times of doubt and uncertainty..
