Self-Discovery Through Witchcraft: Understanding Your Unique Witch Type

By admin

Do you ever wonder what type of witch you are? For centuries, witches have been depicted in various forms, each possessing unique characteristics and abilities. Whether it be the wise and knowledgeable hedge witch, the cunning and manipulative dark witch, or the nature-loving green witch, there are many paths to explore within witchcraft. The hedge witch, also known as the kitchen witch, is often found working with herbs, potions, and remedies. They have a deep connection with nature and a vast knowledge of healing practices. This type of witch can often be found in the kitchen, concocting remedies and creating spells using simple ingredients found in everyday life. Hedge witches are known for their practical approach to magic and their ability to connect with the spiritual realm.


Once the Intermission is over, Sarastro declares that Tamino and Papageno will have to undergo some character tests before he can let Pamina marry. Tamino, in the throes of love, agrees; Papageno needs to be bribed with the possibility of a Love Interest of his own — one who happens to be named Papagena. The main test is that both men need to be silent when confronted by women — which, of course, is Played for Drama when one of the women who visits them is Pamina, leaving the chamber with the conclusion that Tamino no longer loves her. Papageno also gets the Squick of his life when a really old woman arrives and declares herself Papagena, his bride-to-be. (Of course, she's secretly a hot young woman in disguise, which just makes Papageno even more paranoid once this is revealed to him.) Finally, Monostatos sings his I-Want-Pamina Song and eventually joins forces with the Queen of the Night. She performs an aria famous for its fantastically high glass-shattering notes in which she threatens to disown Pamina unless she kills Sarastro.

Fortunately, Monostatos bark is worse than his bite, because when Papageno shows up with his absurd costume, it s Monostatos who runs away in terror. To make a long story short, this was the Mozartian equivalent of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat , with which it shares a similar level of popularity within its genre.

Hedge witches are known for their practical approach to magic and their ability to connect with the spiritual realm. On the contrary, the dark witch is often associated with negative energy and dark magic. They possess a deep understanding of the occult and are not afraid to harness their power for their own gain.

Theatre / The Magic Flute

Or, in the original German, Die Zauberflöte.

The last opera Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ever composed (La clemenza di Tito was composed after the Flute was started, but before its completion), right after he was initiated into the Freemasons; the libretto by fellow mason Emanuel Schikaneder is thus rife with that organization's symbolism. The Magic Flute is actually closer to our understanding of a Musical than Opera: it is generally as seen as Lighter and Softer than, say, Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, and deals more with the themes of ignorance versus wisdom and the virtues of love and family rather than the fall of the gods and the end of the world. Also, being a "singspiel," it has dialogue, not just singing. To make a long story short, this was the Mozartian equivalent of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, with which it shares a similar level of popularity within its genre.

The action starts with a prince from a foreign land, Tamino, chased onstage by a giant serpent. He faints in the face (teeth) of death, and so does not notice when three Ladies Of War show up to rescue him; the Three Ladies immediately swoon over his good looks and argue over which of them will return to report to their ruler, the Queen of the Night, and which of them will get to stay and (ahem) revive him. Eventually, they make the sensible decision that all three of them return, leaving Tamino alone again. (. Okay, maybe not so sensible.) Tamino awakes in time to meet Papageno, the Queen of the Night's royal bird-catcher, an eccentric fellow frequently costumed in feather-and-beak motifs. He sings a pleasant Sidekick Song about his easy-going philosophy and lack of love life. The Three Ladies now return and show Tamino the portrait of a Princess Classic, Pamina, resulting in Love at First Sight. Then the Queen of the Night herself appears and promises Tamino her daughter Pamina's hand in marriage. IF Tamino can Save the Princess, who has been captured by a guy with the ominous name of Sarastro. The Queen gives Tamino his Magic Flute, Papageno a set of magic bells (both of which have the power to Charm Person when you play them), and tour guides in the form of Three Young Boys, and sends them on their way.

In Sarastro's temple we find Pamina, who is being pursued by a Scary Black Man named Monostatos. Fortunately, Monostatos' bark is worse than his bite, because when Papageno shows up with his absurd costume, it's Monostatos who runs away in terror. He and Pamina link up and begin to exit the temple. Meanwhile, Tamino, Storming the Castle, has gotten hung up at the front door. A servant of Sarastro comes out and convinces Tamino that the Queen of the Night has pulled a switcheroo on him: she's the Big Bad, and Sarastro had Pamina kidnapped for her own safety. This opinion is reinforced when Sarastro himself appears on the scene and chews out Monostatos for his Casanova Wannabe impression. After Pamina has her Love at First Sight moment and re-unites for the first time with Tamino, Sarastro escorts them both into the Temple as the act ends.

Once the Intermission is over, Sarastro declares that Tamino and Papageno will have to undergo some character tests before he can let Pamina marry. Tamino, in the throes of love, agrees; Papageno needs to be bribed with the possibility of a Love Interest of his own — one who happens to be named Papagena. The main test is that both men need to be silent when confronted by women — which, of course, is Played for Drama when one of the women who visits them is Pamina, leaving the chamber with the conclusion that Tamino no longer loves her. Papageno also gets the Squick of his life when a really old woman arrives and declares herself Papagena, his bride-to-be. (Of course, she's secretly a hot young woman in disguise, which just makes Papageno even more paranoid once this is revealed to him.) Finally, Monostatos sings his I-Want-Pamina Song and eventually joins forces with the Queen of the Night. She performs an aria famous for its fantastically high glass-shattering notes in which she threatens to disown Pamina unless she kills Sarastro.

Pamina, bereft of her beloved, decides to kill herself. Fortunately, the Three Young Boys intervene and take her to Tamino, who can now apologize; Pamina is so overjoyed that she doesn't even make him sleep on the couch. Next, Papageno attempts the same thing, only to be saved by the Three Young Boys and united with his no-longer-disguised-as-a-squishy-old-woman Papagena. Finally, the Queen of the Night, Monostatos and the Three Ladies attempt to attack the Temple, only to have their power broken and to be cast into eternal night. But whatever, the bad guys die a lot, and both couples have their Happy Ending as the curtain falls.

The Magic Flute has been made into three movies (as well as numerous filmed stage performances). Trollflöjten (1975), a Swedish translation filmed by Ingmar Bergman, was a semi-surrealist, No Fourth Wall fantasy which shows not only the audience, the stage and the theatre, but how the singers kill time while offstage. It is now part of The Criterion Collection. The Magic Flute (2006), directed by Kenneth Branagh with a new English translation by Stephen Fry, is more traditional, aside from being set during World War I. For more information on these first two films, go here. The third adaptation, directed by Florian Sigl, was released in Germany in 2022; it follows a young student named Tim who is whisked into the world of the opera, where he becomes Prince Tamino and lives out the story alongside the classic characters.

Other adaptations include a Comic Book by P. Craig Russell with an ending that can be best described as trippy, a novelization (Night's Daughter) by Marion Zimmer Bradley, an ABC Weekend Special starring Mark Hamill as Tamino, a version telling the story with Nintendo characters, and Magic Flute Diaries, a film about a performance of The Magic Flute.

Reviews for "The Witch Within: Embracing Your Witch Type and Owning Your Craft"

- Sarah - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "What type of witch are you" as I've always been interested in witchcraft. However, I was sorely disappointed. The book lacked depth and substance, and the information presented was incredibly basic. It felt like a high schooler's research project rather than a well-researched and informative book. I was looking for more in-depth explanations and insights, but instead, I got generic descriptions and shallow explanations. Overall, a big letdown.
- Mark - 1 star - I found "What type of witch are you" to be nothing more than a glorified personality quiz. The book categorizes people into different types of witches based on their personality traits, which I found to be far too simplistic and inaccurate. It completely overlooks the rich history, traditions, and beliefs associated with witchcraft. I was expecting a comprehensive guide that explores the various forms of witchcraft and provides valuable insights, but all I got was a superficial and misleading book.
- Jessica - 2 stars - As someone who has been practicing witchcraft for several years, I was hoping for a book that would deepen my understanding and provide me with new insights. However, "What type of witch are you" fell short of my expectations. The information presented was too basic and lacked any real substance. It felt like a watered-down version of what witchcraft truly encompasses. Additionally, the book failed to acknowledge the diversity within the witchcraft community and perpetuated stereotypes.

- Ryan - 1 star - "What type of witch are you" is nothing more than a cash grab. The author seems to have a limited understanding of witchcraft and instead relies on generic descriptions and clichés.

It's a shame that the content doesn't live up to the hype. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time or money on this book.
