In history and literature, witches have often been portrayed as powerful and malevolent figures. They possess supernatural abilities and are capable of causing harm to others. However, not all witches fit this stereotype. There is another type of witch that has been greatly disregarded and overlooked – the kind witch. The kind witch is often seen as a harmless and benevolent figure. She uses her magical abilities to help and heal others rather than to cause harm.
Yet Hurricane Season does not offer a pointed critique of power: rather, it ironizes male cluelessness as a failure of imagination and interpretation. The sequence of events that concludes with the Witch’s murder begins with Luismi’s terrified discovery of a small object buried in a hole in the ground outside his hut. Munra is convinced it is a “work” of witchcraft: it reminds him of the dead toad and floating garlic in a mayonnaise jar he had seen once as a child. Luismi thinks it proves the Witch is putting hexes on him and Norma to split them up and kill the baby she’s carrying—a baby that will give him the cover he needs for the pursuit of his more authentic desires. The truth is less sensational, and quietly sadder. The men never consider that the Witch might have given Norma the tools to end her pregnancy, and that in a system made for them and not for her, the teenager must deal with and recover from the abortion on her own. The men don’t get it, and they never have. They can kill with impunity all the same.
The men never consider that the Witch might have given Norma the tools to end her pregnancy, and that in a system made for them and not for her, the teenager must deal with and recover from the abortion on her own. Taking the place of her mother after the latter s disappearance, she offers a shred of continuity amid the exploitative transformations of provincial La Matosa.
She uses her magical abilities to help and heal others rather than to cause harm. This type of witch is knowledgeable in herbs and potions, and she uses these skills to cure ailments and bring comfort to those in need. Despite her good intentions, the kind witch has been ignored and excluded from the dominant narrative surrounding witchcraft.

This is largely due to the preference for sensationalized and sinister portrayals of witches in popular culture. These portrayals persist in perpetuating the idea that all witches are evil and dangerous, overshadowing the existence of the kind witch. It is important to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of the kind witch. She offers solace and support to those who are suffering, and her presence can bring healing to communities. By neglecting her existence, we are missing out on the potential for compassion and empathy that the kind witch brings. In modern society, it is time to challenge the stereotype of the malevolent witch and embrace the notion of the kind witch. We must recognize her abilities and the positive impact she can have on individuals and communities. By doing so, we can begin to appreciate the diverse and nuanced nature of witchcraft, and the potential for good that it holds. In conclusion, the kind witch is a disregarded figure in the history of witchcraft. Despite her benevolent nature and desire to help others, she has been overshadowed by sensational portrayals of witches as evil and dangerous. It is important to recognize the contributions of the kind witch and to challenge the dominant narrative surrounding witchcraft. By doing so, we can embrace the potential for compassion and healing that the kind witch brings..

I had high hopes for "The disregarded witch" based on the intriguing synopsis, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the story lacked any real urgency or excitement. The world-building was also lacking, leaving me feeling disconnected from the story. While I appreciated the author's attempt at a unique concept, the execution fell short. Overall, I found this book to be a bit of a letdown.

"The disregarded witch" had so much potential, but it failed to deliver on its promises. The characters felt one-dimensional and their decisions often didn't make sense. The dialogue was stilted and awkward, and the plot had several predictable twists. I was also disappointed with the lack of emotional depth in the story. It had the potential to be a gripping tale of magic and adventure, but instead, it fell flat. I couldn't fully immerse myself in the world created by the author, and ultimately, this book left me wanting more.
