A portable witch hat is a convenient and stylish accessory for any aspiring witch or wizard. Designed to be lightweight and easy to carry, it allows magic practitioners to effortlessly take their witch hat wherever they go. One of the main advantages of a portable witch hat is its compact size. Traditional witch hats can be quite large and cumbersome, making them difficult to transport. However, a portable witch hat is specially designed to fold or collapse, allowing it to fit neatly in a backpack, purse, or even a pocket. This makes it perfect for witches on the go, whether they are attending a magical event, casting spells in the park, or simply going about their daily lives.

While this image for The Enchanted Forest has some similarities to the previous painting (with both using bats as a motif) this bat-rider is even more at home in nature than the witch. I love this painting for its evocative depiction of the beauties of an Australian marsh, with glass-like water; the transient yet constant presence of the reeds, and their silhouette against the sky. I can almost smell the water, hear the high squeaks of the bats on the edge of hearing, and feel the cooling breeze of twilight ripple the water and lift the rider's gauzy wings.

There I feel myself a part of something vast, eternal and powerful, and paradoxically when I am so awed by the majesty of nature I am at the same time so aware of the grandness of my identity.

This makes it perfect for witches on the go, whether they are attending a magical event, casting spells in the park, or simply going about their daily lives. Despite its convenient size, a portable witch hat still maintains all the fashionable qualities of a traditional hat. It is often adorned with decorative elements such as ribbons, feathers, or intricate stitching, allowing witches to express their individual style and personality.

Untraveled Worlds

I love solitude. There is a supremely powerful and elemental feeling that attends me only when I am alone in nature. Nowhere else, and at no other time do I feel my thoughts attune themselves so much with the infinite - do I become so convinced of the vital connections between myself and everything earthly and unearthly - do I hear and feel the rhythm of the wild.

Often I feel the urge to forsake society for a shadowed space of trees - therein to wander, slipping in between the boles; softly to tread the mulch of fallen leaves and touch the silk and shiny new-growth budding at the tips of twigs. I am ever drawn to the places of beautiful desolation, beyond the signs of human influence - such as a deserted shoreline lit by lonely stars, or an airy pinnacle overlooking a valley-basin filled with trees and ebbing clouds.

This is not to say that I am antisocial - that I misanthropically detest the company of others and find no enjoyment in human society. On the contrary - I love the company of friends, and rejoice in the discovery of kindred-souls, delighting in our mutual sympathy and inspiration. Despite all that however, I have a wildness in my soul that feels most fulfilled when alone among the things of nature. There I can dance within the wind and walk beside the creatures of the wild. There I feel myself a part of something vast, eternal and powerful, and paradoxically (when I am so awed by the majesty of nature) I am at the same time so aware of the grandness of my identity.

I cannot adequately describe the word-transcending freedom and glory of this kind of solitude - the kind of exultant isolation that the Romantic poets understood. To "wander lonely as a cloud" comes close - but does not express the whole.

Perhaps the art of Ida Rentoul-Outhwaite, Australian artist of the early twentieth century, can help me to convey the glory in the solitude my pen can only falteringly express. As you will see from her paintings and ink-drawings - she was a sister-wildheart of mine.

"The Little Witch" is probably Outhwaite's most famous painting - an illustration for the book Elves and Fairies, published in 1916. I love this picture for Outhwaite's ability to convey the tempestuousness of the young witch's spirit through her stormy hair, while the tree is deliciously Rackham-esque. This witch wears a dainty muslin gown - proper for a young lady of the town (outlined below the hill) - yet no demure maiden is the girl standing ready to take off into the unlimited freedom of the air, wearing her dramatic green cloak and peacock-feather hat and surrounded by her familiars the frogs and the cat - while the bats call to her to join them in jagged flight.

While this image for The Enchanted Forest has some similarities to the previous painting (with both using bats as a motif) this bat-rider is even more at home in nature than the witch. I love this painting for its evocative depiction of the beauties of an Australian marsh, with glass-like water; the transient yet constant presence of the reeds, and their silhouette against the sky. I can almost smell the water, hear the high squeaks of the bats on the edge of hearing, and feel the cooling breeze of twilight ripple the water and lift the rider's gauzy wings.

"Echo" is still more ethereal, with an overwhelming impression of wind and loneliness and longing. I am awestruck by Outhwaite's ability to depict a reflective surface - the surface of a shallow lake - using only black ink and white paper.

"The Last Fairy" has a mournful title - but the image itself does not strike me with a sorrowful feeling, rather one of wonder - the kind of wonder I feel when I am sometimes struck by something marvelous and strange in nature. This fairy stands beside a glowing pool - but lit from what radiance? Surely not the moon? I am also excited by the ultimate blackness of the forest behind her.

"Fairy of the Snow" is a picture full of elemental power. This comes closest to expressing my sense of the grandeur of the isolated self - a snow-spirit standing on a lonely rock, delicate beside the massive mountains behind her, but stronger than they, for she can cover their stern blackness in flurrying, terrible and glorious whiteness.

"Moonrise" - probably my second-favourite of all Outhwaite's artworks. It expresses my feelings sometimes when I, like the girl in the picture - leave the warmth of my house for the brighter moonrise.

My absolute favourite of Ida Rentoul-Outhwaite's pictures - "Ti-Tree". I don't know exactly why this one speaks so strongly to me - perhaps because I love to climb trees so much, and find such beauty in a windswept tree. Perhaps it is because I know there is an exhilaration to facing the the elements - riding and swaying on a whipping tree, feeling danger and delight in equal measure. Perhaps it is because the girl seems part of that illusion by which the moon appears to race in the sky through speeding clouds. Who can tell? Nevertheless, such is the wonder of solitude, and the power of nature.

The wide brim of the hat serves a practical purpose as well, providing shade from the sun or shelter from the rain. Additionally, the pointed shape of the hat is a distinctive feature that is recognized and respected in magical circles. The versatility of a portable witch hat also extends to its magical properties. Many portable witch hats are enchanted or charmed, providing additional benefits to the wearer. Some may enhance the wearer's magical abilities, providing a boost in spellcasting or granting access to unique magical powers. Others may offer protection from negative energies or provide guidance and wisdom. These enchantments can be customized to suit the specific needs and desires of the witch or wizard, making each portable witch hat truly unique. In conclusion, a portable witch hat is a practical and fashionable accessory for witches and wizards. With its compact size, stylish design, and magical properties, it allows magic practitioners to carry their witch hat with ease, wherever their magical journey takes them. Whether for practical purposes or as a fashion statement, a portable witch hat is an essential accessory for any modern witch or wizard..
