The Witch's Crown: The Symbolism of the Black Lace Witch Hat

The black lace witch hat is an iconic symbol often associated with witches and the occult. This traditional accessory is typically made of a black fabric, such as velvet or felt, adorned with intricate lace patterns. The hat itself has a tall, pointed conical shape, with a wide brim that adds to its mystique. The black lace witch hat has a rich history, dating back to ancient times. It is often depicted in folklore and fairy tales as a vital part of a witch's wardrobe. In popular culture, it has become an emblematic representation of witchcraft and Halloween, often seen worn by witches portrayed in books, movies, and other media.

It's been two weeks since he nearly kissed Kurosawa (Machida Keita), and Adachi (Akaso Eiji) is desperately avoiding being alone with him. Terrified of their relationship progressing, he has been attempting to escape from reality. Meanwhile, Adachi and Fujisaki (Sato Ryo) are harassed by some thugs while shopping. Just as Adachi is about to get hit while trying to protect Fujisaki, Kurosawa a.

That s why this time, whether it s for people who have no interest in love, or people who are unable to love just one person, I think one of my duties is to present them with fully fleshed out individual backgrounds, and not to exploit their existence for the convenience of the story. However, while I do feel that it s precious when I see the the love of the protagonists come to fruition at the end of the final episode, I m not adept at building romantic relationships with others in real life, and I have more of an interest in other things, so I also feel a little loneliness, as if I was empty or that I was left behind somewhere.

In popular culture, it has become an emblematic representation of witchcraft and Halloween, often seen worn by witches portrayed in books, movies, and other media. Not only has the black lace witch hat become synonymous with witches, but it has also become a fashion statement. Many people, particularly during the Halloween season, wear this accessory to complement their costumes or to add a touch of mystery and elegance to their attire.

Show Review: Cherry Magic! 30 Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!

This Japanese drama was AMAZING. It is based off the Japanese manga with the same name, which is also cute, but the drama has its own appeal. The actors Keita Machida (Alice in Borderland on Netflix) is the handsome and popular Kurosawa and Akasa Eiji is the shy and socially awkward Adachi. Adachi is turning thirty years old, and he’s never been in a relationship or had sex. As a virgin, there is this urban legend that on your thirtieth birthday you acquire powers, and this happens to Adachi on his birthday. He can read minds when he touches people, and the magic turns his world upside down.

Adachi deals with intense social anxiety already. He doesn’t think he’ll ever be loved. He’s very introverted and finds pleasure in reading, his job at the stationary company and food. He doesn’t like to be touched or even to be approached. He’s too kind to his superiors and will work overtime to do other people’s work (just to keep the peace).

Since he’s hearing the thoughts of everyone he touches, he changes his morning routine and goes to work early so he has to touch less people, and he ends up hearing the thoughts of one of his coworkers, Kurosawa Yuichi, who is handsome, charming and seemingly perfect. Immediately, Kurosawa’s thoughts show that he’s overjoyed to meet his work crush in the morning. Adachi has no idea who it is until the elevator fills up and people push them together in an awkward (and defining) moment where Kurosawa is thinking about how lucky he is to be this close and he hopes that Adachi doesn’t hear his racing heartbeat.

Soon, as they all exit the elevator, Adachi realizes that HE is Kurosawa’s crush, and at first he doesn’t believe it. He thinks he might be wrong. Thus, he starts to have more encounters with Kurosawa that proves that Adachi is indeed whom Kurosawa likes. He not only likes Adachi, but is deeply in love with him, and Adachi can’t understand it, but through the series, Adachi likes being cherished and he gets to know Kurosawa more. He finds out that Kurosawa is not “perfect”, he has anxieties and fears too, and Adachi starts to fall for him as well.

However, this is all new for Adachi and hearing Kurosawa’s thoughts and confessing to him is overwhelming. I would even say that his “Anxiety” is another character in this show, even more so a villain.

Under some odd circumstances, Kurosawa stays with Adachi at his place for a bit, but it’s basically torture for Kurosawa (because he wants to be intimate with him). He finally confesses to Adachi and doesn’t expect Adachi to return his feelings. Adachi…takes some time to process things, pretty much a day, and he realizes that his thoughts are filled of Kurosawa, he likes being with him and he ends up running after him after work to confess. The two start dating and Kurosawa has the presence of mind to know that Adachi will need to take it slow. Everything is his first experience, and Kurosawa is more than thrilled to be there with him.

Eventually, as they continue to date, Adachi’s anxiety gets the better of him, especially after telling Kurosawa about his magic, not feeling like it’s fair to keep it from his boyfriend. He breaks up with him, and both men are just heartbroken. They even had a date set up for Christmas Eve, which basically eats at Adachi as he realizes he made a mistake.

The ending is satisfying. The scenes between these two men are sweet, fluffy and a slow build romance. The touches, the thoughts, the fantasies from the mind reading, and the confessions are swoon worthy and worth the watch.

There’s a side plot to Adachi and Kurosawa that is…kind of a let down. Adachi’s best friend Tsuge also becomes a wizard when he turns 30 as a virgin, and his reactions to the mind reading are a bit over the top. The acting is…um, well, cringe worthy. He starts to have feelings for a delivery person who warms up to him because Tsuge adopts a stray cat.

The cat is cute. The delivery guy is cute and enduring, and Tsuge means well, but he acts like a complete psycho.

I watched Cherry Magic twice through the 12 episodes and second time around I mostly skipped through the Tsuge scenes. He annoyed me too much.

There is also this adorable Ace supporting character named Fujisaki who cheers to the two main leads on. I kind of wished she would have more screen time than Tsuge. Her story was way more interesting.

This is BL (boys love) but it’s not explicit, just a tender romance with two adorable leads and a great story around social anxiety and not judging people by their looks. There are also a lot of lovely moments worthy of GIF reuse.

Too many adorable moments between these two. GIF credit sushishorts on Tumblr.

Stream it on Crunchyroll. You won’t regret it.

However, this is all new for Adachi and hearing Kurosawa’s thoughts and confessing to him is overwhelming. I would even say that his “Anxiety” is another character in this show, even more so a villain.

Some even wear it as a fashion statement outside of the holiday season, embracing its aesthetic appeal and symbolism. In addition to its enchanting appearance, the black lace witch hat holds a symbolic meaning. It represents the power and mysticism associated with witches, as well as their connection to nature and the spiritual realm. The hat's conical shape is said to enhance a witch's ability to harness energy and focus her magical powers. It is also believed to serve as a protective barrier against negative forces. Overall, the black lace witch hat is a fascinating and iconic accessory that holds a special place in both history and popular culture. Whether worn as a costume or as a fashion statement, this hat evokes an air of mystery, magic, and allure..

Reviews for "Stay Spooky: Rocking a Black Lace Witch Hat All Year Round"

1. Emily - 2/5

I was really excited to receive the black lace witch hat, as it looked so stylish and elegant in the pictures. However, when it arrived and I tried it on, I was extremely disappointed. The hat was much smaller than I expected and didn't fit properly on my head. The lace material was also very scratchy and uncomfortable to wear. Overall, I found the hat to be of poor quality and definitely not worth the price. I ended up returning it and wouldn't recommend it to others.

2. Mike - 1/5

I had high hopes for the black lace witch hat, but it completely let me down. The quality was horrendous - the lace was cheap and frayed, and the hat didn't hold its shape at all. The brim was floppy and uneven, making it look more like a cheap costume piece than a stylish accessory. I was also disappointed with the fit, as it was too small and kept sliding off my head. I felt like I wasted my money on this hat and would not purchase from this brand again.

3. Sarah - 3/5

The black lace witch hat was just okay for me. The design was nice, but the execution was lacking. The lace felt a bit stiff and uncomfortable, and it didn't fit securely on my head. The hat was also smaller than I expected, so it didn't create the desired dramatic effect. However, I will say that the lace pattern was intricate and added a nice touch to my witch costume. It's definitely not the best quality hat out there, but it could work if you're on a budget.
