Which witch are you? In the world of witchcraft and wizardry, there are countless types of witches, each with their own unique abilities, strengths, and personalities. Whether you are a beginner exploring the magical arts or a seasoned witch, it can be fascinating to consider which type of witch you resonate with the most. Firstly, there are the elemental witches. These witches draw their power from one of the four elements: earth, air, fire, or water. Earth witches are deeply connected to nature, plants, and animals. They can manipulate the earth and create powerful potions using natural ingredients.
Elaine falls in with a cult with bizarre S&M-themed rituals. But she conducts her witchcraft on her own, concocting love potions designed to find her true love.
The presentational acting style is so self-aware you almost expect the cast to occasionally underline a joke by turning toward the camera and winking at the audience no one does, though. Interest in witchcraft is at an all-time high in popular culture, with Harry Potter on the one hand and American Horror Story Coven on the other one a satisfying empowerment fantasy for children and teenagers, the other an adult festival of sex and violence dramatising female power and the strengths and limitations of sisterhood.
They can manipulate the earth and create powerful potions using natural ingredients. Air witches, on the other hand, possess a strong affinity for the wind and sky. They can control air currents, communicate with birds, and have a natural talent for divination.
‘The Love Witch’ is a gorgeous-looking bad movie
You’ve got to hand it to Anna Biller. “The Love Witch,” her new comedy-horror movie is completely her vision. She wrote, produced and directed the film, but that’s not all: She also composed the music score, designed the costumes and sets, and edited the film.
I am in awe of the indefatigable Biller, who has been making films here and there for 25 years. And “The Love Witch,” shot on 35mm, reflects her love of old Technicolor Hollywood films and schlocky international occult horror movies from the 1960s and ’70s.
In other words, she has made one gorgeous-looking bad movie, and that apparently was her intention.
Shot in Northern California (in Eureka, Arcata and other places in Humboldt County), it’s about a woman who becomes a witch in order to explore her own feminism and sexuality, and becomes involved in a sex cult and, ultimately, murder.
Elaine (Samantha Robinson) is in a life crisis; her husband has divorced her, and she apparently murdered him. She has become a witch, and moves from San Francisco to an unnamed small town to experiment with her love potions and hopefully find her Prince Charming (literally; she dreams of riding off on a white horse with her man, dressed in Elizabethan clothing). She rents a place from Trish (Laura Waddell), a suppressed housewife whom Elaine takes an immediate liking to.
They immediately go to lunch at a Victorian cafe – a sumptuously designed place, only for women, who all are attired in Victorian dresses. For entertainment: A woman singing medieval folk songs and playing a harp.
Elaine falls in with a cult with bizarre S&M-themed rituals. But she conducts her witchcraft on her own, concocting love potions designed to find her true love.
“According to experts,” Elaine says, “men are very fragile. If you assert yourself, you can crush them. You have to be very tricky.”
Trouble is, her love potions become murder weapons. They cause the men to become quivering, sobbing shells of themselves and eventually they die – first a kinky college professor (Jeffrey Vincent Parise), then Trish’s strait-laced husband (Robert Seeley).
That puts a handsome cop (Gian Keys) on her trail. Will this piece of beefcake arrest her, or fall in love with her?
“The Love Witch” has an air of geeky satire. The presentational acting style is so self-aware you almost expect the cast to occasionally underline a joke by turning toward the camera and winking at the audience (no one does, though).
Got to hand it to Biller – she might have made a “bad” movie, but it’s never boring.

Fire witches are passionate and fierce. They command flames and can create and control fire with ease. Water witches, finally, harness the power of the tides. They can manipulate water, predict the weather, and excel in healing magic. Next, there are the witches who specialize in certain types of magic. For example, there are green witches who focus on herbalism, enchanting their potions and spells with the healing properties of plants and flowers. They are nurturing and have a deep understanding of the natural world. Then there are the kitchen witches who use the power of cooking and baking to create magic. They infuse their dishes with intentions and use their culinary skills to manifest their desires. There are also the cosmic witches who channel the energies of the stars and planets. They are skilled in astrology and use celestial movements to guide their magical workings. Similarly, there are sea witches who have an affinity for the ocean and the creatures that dwell within it.

Whichever type of witch you resonate with, always remember that magic is a personal journey. Embrace your uniqueness and explore the aspects of witchcraft that speak to your soul. There are no rules or limitations when it comes to being a witch – it is a path of self-discovery and growth.

Overall, I was highly disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to anyone."

The protagonist was frustrating and made decisions that were hard to comprehend. The world-building was weak, leaving many unanswered questions. Additionally, the romance felt forced and lacked chemistry. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with this book."
- Emily - 3 stars - "While 'Which Witch are You' had an interesting concept, I found it to be executed poorly. The pacing was uneven, with slow parts dragging on and action-packed scenes feeling rushed. The major plot twist towards the end felt contrived and forced, lacking any foreshadowing or believability. The writing style was mediocre, failing to evoke any emotions or create a captivating atmosphere. Although the book had its moments, I ultimately felt let down by the lack of depth and development."
