In folklore and mythology, witches have been depicted in various ways. One common image that often comes to mind is that of a witch standing at a height of twelve feet. This depiction underscores the supernatural and otherworldly nature of witches, as it suggests that they possess a power and presence that surpasses that of ordinary humans. The idea of a towering witch emphasizes their intimidating and formidable nature. Standing at such a great height puts them in a position of dominance and authority, making it clear that they are not to be underestimated or taken lightly. This image also plays into the stereotype of witches as figures of fear and danger, capable of casting spells and wielding dark magic.
