Hey all, thank u for the amazing response so far ❤❤
I just realised I have made 2 mistakes - i’ve mixed up the onscreen birth/death dates of Guillaume Ediline with a Belgian painter from the 1900s! The Ediline I’m discussing was alive in the 1400s.
Secondly it’s been pointed out to me that Viy is considered a Ukrainian story as the author Gogol is of Ukrainian origin. Not trying to argue with this but most online sources called it a Russian novella, which is why i said it was russian in the video!
Sorry for missing these before publishing xxxx
Just so you know more of the origin of the broom and a lot of the things we associate with the witch the broom and door is things from the women who for the longest time made beer it was a women's job for the longest time and it eventually became lucrative and men were trying to get women out and take over so alewives would put the broom outside the door when they were brewing so people knew when they could get beer there is also a few things about the hat you can find all this it's based on like the types of women the wise women of the time that could take care of themselves without a man it's based in misogyny so it's a whole evolution based on the misogyny that infiltrated western culture it's all based in misogyny The healers women who could live without having a man support them the history of witches is fascinating I've been studying monsters and witches and witchcraft both mythology historic tales movies and books and then the real people that practiced and the religions that evolved into modern day witchcraft practices that were taken out of many different cultures it is so many twists and turns in so many branches it's crazy how much you have to study to even know anything about it even scratch the surface I've been watching documentaries reading books watching movies to see the movie takes vampires werewolves witches monsters of all types everything from the league of extraordinary gentlemen VanHelsing underworld and twilight to the worst witch fantastic I did watch Harry Potter but it was quite doll after you watch the worst witch and every other story prior that they stole the storyline from to make Harry Potter so I wasn't a big fan as a real person who practices witchcraft and the most extremely rare form being one of the first people before you could find anybody who actually did it I've been practicing Christian witchcraft for 30 years almost next year will be 30 years I have been practicing Christian witchcraft only like two years ago did I find the first Book where somebody wrote about Christian witchcraft which I've been practicing forover25 years at that point I've been studying witchcraft almost 35 years I said witchcraft for five years before I was able to figure out my path I studied mythology the occult different forms of witchcraft natural remedies and magic for five years before I set my path and started practicing I was an older at30 I found it on my own at a very young age I'm also a unicorn somehow I have a bump on my forehead but has been there for quite a long time ago whore it's not very big but I have one unicorn i've been called a fairy like Faye i'm of Irish and Welsh descent shorter in stature I kinda do Fit the transcription when they were more like wizards if you go into Lake historic fairies Morgana le Fay it was Morgan of the fairies Arthur sister fairies were people during the time of Arthur which would be 500 AD roughly at the fall of the Roman empire Harry Potter doesn't even get that right Maryland couldn't have gone to Hogwarts if he was a grown man 500 years before Hogwarts came to be she is stupid but like because I know where she got it from and how stupid she is and how she's like very stupid she's basing it on like a renaissance type era Arthur not really a medieval Arthur not the proper time. Putting in 1000 years after the story Merlin did not go to Hogwarts Hogwarts was a long time after Merlin Hogwarts even within Harry Potter they're witches and wizards as being the same just different genders is totally stupid that they stole that from the worst witch but witches and wizards are two different things because wizards can be male or female the female wizard is a wizard that's a gender neutral term a male wizard is a wizard a female wizard is a wizard Morgana Le Fay was a wizard she was Merlin's apprentice Arthur's sister studied under Merlin she was a wizard
I don't know why, but as a gay man I've always felt a connection with witches in media. Perhaps it's because we share a common struggle in finding acceptance and navigating societal expectations, but I think what really sold me on them was seeing these powerful, magical beings unapologetically being themselves. There's something truly empowering about witnessing their unwavering sense of self, their defiance against a world that might not always accept them. In a way, their journey mirrors my own.
Hey! loved reading this, thanks for watching 💜
@@rachellydiab Hi! Love your videos, please keep up the great work 🩷
Doesn't help that witches are always played by gay icons too 😂 💞✨
@@Taylorjade007 So true 😭🫶🏾
@@Nyzahnewtonand that a lot of drag queens have been inspired by witches, and vice versa. A lot of villains were social rejects, and a lot of them were queer-coded, so queer people often identified with them. And of course, a lot of villains were witches: particularly during the 1970s, as witches embodied the sexual revolution. I think for this reason that while we might start to see more male witch characters, they will always be dressed in feminine fashion: patriarchal fears of feminine power and desire are a core part of the witch concept. You can see that going all the way back to Circe in The Odyssey and Delilah in the Bible. These sorceresses might not be outright evil, but they represent the fear men in patriarchal societies have of losing their privileged status.
I dont remember ever seeing it come on tv when I was a child, but as an adult I found an episode of Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood featuring the actress who played The Wicked Witch of the West. In an unusual choice, she simply came to his “house” set for an extended segment, where she was introduced as having played the Wicked Witch, and the two just talked about acting and playing pretend and characters and how it’s okay to explore the emotions you might feel - like being scared - when you play a character or watch one on screen. I believe they got out and handled her costume pieces, and she transformed her persona for a minute or two, to show that she could become the Witch and then come right back. She was so reassuring and empathetic to children who get scared by fictional characters, but she also expressed such joy and a sense of fun about acting, telling stories, and playing pretend. I kind of fell in love with her. Anyway, I know that’s off-topic but what I felt distilled in the experience of watching that episode kind of captures something about what costume in general makes me feel and why I never get tired of hearing discussion about costume
Thank you so much for sharing that, I really love it! 😊
This is amazing :)
Yess I’ve seen this!! I know Margaret Hamiltons career really struggled because people actually thought she was unpleasant/frightening, which is so sad. But the Mr Rogers appearance is such a lovely show of her true self 💜
Mary poppins is absolutely a witch. I never noticed the awesome cloak to train detail in Witches, thank you for pointing it out!!!
Really loved your Vampire fashion one, I keep replaying your video because it's almost like a comfort background noise now 😂❤
i would eat up a full video on suspiria's costumes and i've never heard of this film until now
Watch the original from the 70s first!! I think its very worth it to compare the two movies since the more recent iteration of it was made purposefully to contrast the first.
I don't have a video on the costumes specifically but I do have a video from last year analysing the 2018 film 🌹
I was just going to comment this.
@@Inthepotwithdiogenes should we hold hands about it? 🤝
@@sydney9011 yes 🤝
on the 'Vyi" segment: here in Ukraine flower crowns or wreaths used to be worn at weddings (by the bride) traditionally, so even if it isn't stated directly, her dying unmarried would be assumed by the audience
Viy is based more on Ukrainian folklore and pAnochka is a shapeshifter, clearly evil. Her "public" form is an unmarried girl, so your logic is right about her flower crown. Gogol wrote the original, he has nice folklore-based tales not only hard-to-translate satiric novels
Helpful, thank you!
in defense of mary vogt, i think changing the symbols slightly was a good idea not because they might have literal mystical powers, but because you can never really research or predict what real-world symbols might become or have once been hate symbols. like i think it's pretty well known that swastika/swastika-like symbols were symbols of peace in south asia but obviously have a different connotation now. so i think she was really smart to adapt ancient runes even though i agree they probably aren't actually magical
also now that you've put the idea of butch witches into the world i need to see that portrayed IMMEDIATELY. amazing video!!!
Love how dense this video is, between the movie clips, the analysis, the jokes, the textual sources, the reference images… I know i will be rewatching this a few times. I loved the vampire costumes video and this one is a new favorite.
(the different colors and fonts on the title cards were a great choice btw)
Such a lovely compliment, thank you so much for appreciating the work ❤
And we KNEW Angelica Huston would be featured twice
This video isn't just up my alley, it IS my alley. Love this series so much! Will be crossing my fingers for a Ghost Costumes in Film video in the future 👻
Aw that's so cool! Ty 🌹and ghosts are on the list (though I gotta say... the list is long hahah)
Ghost costuming would be super interesting!
It’s a small thing, but I love how you introduced the green outfit/set early on, then used different scenes to teach us about the symbolism of green. When you go back to the green set, we actually notice it, with the dress, the candle and the leaves. It’s such a nice touch for the video and it makes the viewer (or at least me) feel excited to have learned something. I found you thought the Immaculate video and have been loving the channel ever since! :))
Good video, I like the depth of it, however I want to correct the example about Viy as a "russian novel", because it is in fact novel written by the author of Ukrainian descent, it is set in Ukraine and based on Ukrainian folklore. The life story of Gogol, the author of the novel, is very nuanced regarding his national identity, considering the times he live in, but it is still imo must be stated that Viy belongs to Ukrainian culture as it is speaking about Ukrainians(I mean, even the names of characters in Ukrainian, Pannochka means "young lady, daughter of wealthy man or noble" and Viy literally means eyelash.)
Also quite interesting in this whole situation is difference of perception of witch in the Western Europe and in Ukraine in general. Due to the fact that we are located in the very diverse religious region(islam on the south, roman and greek catholicism on the west and north, orthodox on the north and east, and all of them has specific paganic roots), personal religious paths of many people were very unorthodox and much more acceptable by society, comparing to the west. So, considering that, Ukrainians were and still kinda are neutral towards the witches, It's only when they bring harm to the crops or livestock etc, they are judged in folklore. And that's for me, kinda changes the whole perception of the Pannochka in the novel, since it is, to me personally at least, not talking about the witchcraft as the source of horror, but of the death, which is kinda leaning onto the vampire territory, if we're talking about the symbols behind the creatures of the night. Pannochka is to be feared not because she is a witch, but because she is dead, and the whole summoning of the creatures is more of the "Dance Macabre" type than devils from the hell of whatever. Therefore, while there is a great deal of the witch symbolism in her character, I really do think that she is kind of hybrid character, heavily leaning into the vampiric side rather than the witch one.
P.S. Russians and their sympathizers dni
Hello! Thank you for this, very helpful insight. When I looked into the novel it was often listed as Russian literature and I didn't research Gogol specifically, so I missed this information.
Appreciate your contribution 🌹
Incredible analysis. Thank you for the addition, I learned a lot!
If I could add my interpretation to the analysis of The Wiz:
The story, both Dorothy's real world and the land of Oz, are based on boroughs and attractions in New York City. Dorothy starts off in Harlem (she's never gone south of 125th street) and the goal is to make it to the Emerald City, which is Manhattan based on the large buildings and wealthy people dancing in the center. We can see more of this strange NYC in the area with crumbling buildings where she meets the Scarecrow (the Bronx circa arson insurance scheme era), the amusement park where they meet the Tin Man (Coney Island), the location where they meet the Lion (the Lion is one of the two lions, Patience and Fortitude, that "guard" the main NYC library in Manhattan), where they meet the Poppy Girls (Times Square when it used to be the Red Light District), and the chase scene with the Flying Monkeys (Yankees Stadium?) Michael Jackson's outfit has always been interesting to me because it appears to be based on the garbage that was left around the Bronx at the time. His head is full of garbage (discarded fortune cookie fortunes) his nose is an empty Reese's cup, and his torso and legs look like pieces of long-mended fabric barely handing on. Evilline and the sweatshop also reminded me of the sweatshops that exist(ed) in the Garment District of Manhattan. The circular, mechanical elements of her clothing feel like a reference to the fake and broken clocks that are sold in that area and the Chinatown nearby. It would also explain the gaudy and shiny elements of her clothes (more fake jewelry) and the outfits the laborers are wearing (so trapped in their destitute conditions that they eventually become masked/faceless creatures whose bodies become enmeshed with the clothing they create).
I have yet to see the Broadway production (as of July 2024 it's still running) but would love the costume designer for the original play and film to discuss the context of their designs. The film is absolute trash but it's trash I love!
Love this analysis! That makes so much sense
This was so interesting and would've taken the longest time to do, i love your outfit homage to The Craft the most, immediately recognized the reference!
It really did hahah, i think i opened the google doc in February lol. And yess thank u!!!
What a delightful, insightful, well researched video! I must admit I'm very interested in the contrast of the portrayal of witches from the male gaze versus the female gaze. Maiden witches (Charmed, the VVitch, The Craft) often retain their soft femininity to appeal to men and make sure they're not TOO unpalateable; they're often 'redeemed' in some way that signals their ongoing innocence (I love your discussion on bonnets/free hair which I feel connects to this kind of innocent sexuality). It's the crones/hags that I find interesting, and your discussion of beauty = morality is SO on point. From the male gaze they are true creatures of horror who are simply to be subdued and killed, as they have no sexual value to men, and categorically eschew the nurturing/caregiving aspects that are the only things the male gaze finds useful about older women. From the female gaze, however, they are starting to be reclaimed as vessels of power and individualism; a rejection of patriarchal values.
Thank you for the informative and beautifully researched video!
love love love this - and thank you for 💓
🙌🏻 Very well said
48:54 I don't think Mary Vogt meant that using an ancient symbol would actually summon something evil - I think it's more likely she wanted to avoid any symbols that could have a negative connotation in another culture, as to not upset anyone or make the witch characters appear as genuinely 'evil'.
Hi something I have noticed with the Sanderson sisters costumes is:
1. Winnie is the only to have a metallic color in her costume that being gold possibly another way to show that she’s the leader of the sisters.
2. Mary’s costume resembling a baker kind of goes with my theory she may have been the inspiration for the witch from Hansel and Gretel who is also associated with baking and cooking.
3. All three sisters have purple in their dresses that shows them they are a group but Winnie’s is more of a bright jewel purple where her sisters purples are more faded and another way that could represent her as the leader. (Though the purple in question does show up in Sarah’s cloak)
Black can hide itself so well; I never realised the Wicked Witch of the West's costume was so pretty.
I did not come into this video expecting to see Goya, but can't say I'm surprised lol. He did draw a lot of witches (los caprichos was a series made to criticise spanish society in his time so it made sense)
Honestly I'm really enjoying your videos 😭
Thank you YT recommendations for knowing me so well. This feels like a channel about to blow up.
glad it found u! fingers crossed x
To add to the "why wasn't she red or purple" about the Wicked Witch of the West, I love that her green contrasts the ruby slippers. It adds a visual layer of Dorothy and the witch's battle through the film. This is such a great video!!!!
... why "the love witch" is one of the best indie films ever made!!!
Abby Cox, a Dress Historian and a great content creator did a video about three years ago about the history of the witch hat.
i loveee that video!!
I’ve also heard that the wicked witch’s skin was green because they were having some sort of issue with her wearing all black with the technicolor and they needed her skin to stand out next to it
Witches, historical fashion and fashion analysis, wrapped up in a video by one of my current favourite video essayists, this was just the video I needed while sick! 💜
hey thank you 🌹🥲 get better sooon
You should definitely do a whole video for Suspiria! I feel like there's so much to talk about!!!
Oh! Hi lol I just finished watching your vampire fashion video and I liked what you had to say
hi! ty!!
Hmmm interesting. please note that everything that is in all caps was done solely for emphasis not to yell. The ICON Angela Basset truly embodied THE VOODOO QUEEN Marie Laveau! In Coven she truly snatched the edges off of Fiona Goode’s head when she told her that “EVERYTHING you got, you got from US! ✊🏽Through Tituba this is 1000% correct! 2. HOW in the world did you not mention the LEGENDARY Lena Horn as Glinda the Good witch. 3. They did Rachel True absolutely wrong and dirty. I do LOVE❤your take on witches fashions throughout the movies and in history. Have an amazing weekend!🎉🎉🎉)O(
What I find very interesting is what you said in the end about femininity and witchcraft, specifically feminine clothing being so present in our idea of what "a witch" looks like. I am currently writing a story in which I have a gender fluid witch character who's more male than female in pronouns and body but is extremely androgynous otherwise. He's also wearing mostly dresses and I like your theory about why might have subconsciously done that!
Hoodoo practitioner here! This was absolutely lovely and I have subscribed! While similar too Vodun, I think we both need more positive representation. Honestly it's inspiring me to make a video on Hoodoo/Vodun stereotypes and fashion.
@@PlantGothKira Oh i’m so glad u enjoyed, thanks for being here! And do it!!! ✨
10:00 this is a concept also nicely represented in The School For Good And Evil, especially the movie. The main characters’ looks are an important plot device in multiple instances and sometimes directly correlate to the moral alignment of the person. Very interesting considering the message of the story.
So hype for this! Your videos are the most comprehensive 🙌
thank youuu 🌹🌹🌹
a french youtube channel (occulture) did a video on the salem witch tial and mentioned a lot of misinformation on the event as they explored a lot of theories as to why it happened, including a half an hour segment on a theory they created themselves based on their understanding of the source material they could get their hands on. Accordin to them it's suspicious to say the least that all of the accused parties were enemies or affiliated with enemies of the putnam family, an affluent family (whom the head of was a reverend) in the village who saw their estate threatened by said enemies in the few years leading up to the trials. The theory reaks a bit of conspiracy theories and i won't assume it was the truth until it's backed up a source more knowledgable in the matter than a couple of filmmaker (who worked a lot on the project don't get me wrong) but it's a storyline i find really compelling and fascinating to explore
Fantastic video! We'd love to see a full video on Suspiria costumes!
this series so far is amazing. so comforting and I also never watch youtube videos but am so content and happy watching your videos. the way you film your videos is really cool too, I love how you switch up the makeup, outfit and locations 🫀
this is such a delightful comment to read. Thank you so much, i’m so glad you enjoyed it 🌹
in eastern europe flower crown is a very strongly established traditional bridal gown (and overall a symbol for girl's youth, beauty and aspirations for marriage), and there is also a tradition (not completely gone even to this day) to burry young unmarried women dressed up as brides.
THIS is EXACTLY why i subscribe to your channel! i LOVE your topics and the way you present said topics!
stopppp ur all so kind, thank you ✨✨
Your channel is the only one I look forward to now
@@felinesins7106 aw thank you so much 💜✨ needed this today
oh gawd, now youre getting into the remake of Suspiria>!!! grrl your essays are KILLER!!!
Love the video and I agree with almost everything in it, except at 26:17. Saying "... nudity never needs to be shown and can always be implied..." gets a little too close to the Hays code idea that anything morally questionable should never be depicted on screen. Like "We can depict this unmarried couple are sleeping in the same bed! It's immoral!" I agree with the rest of the quote saying it's fair to question when a director makes the choice to depict nudity, but only because I think it's always fair to question anything a director does. You should be allowed to question any part of art.
I would absolutely love if this became a series! I discovered your channel through the vampire costume video and thought the way you presented everything was so informative but also entertaining! keep up the amazing work!
thank you sm. I have 4-5 more planned already so keep an eye out xx
I actually was going to ask for a tutorial of your green eye makeup. loved it!
I am always so excited when you upload ❤
blushinggg thank you 🧚♂
The yin-yang ☯ can be used to show how the outside isn't necessarily the same as the inside. Like black/ dark doesn't equate to evil, just as white/ light doesn't equate to good.
Clicked on this as soon as it popped up in my feed. So engaging! Thank you!
ur the best ty 😇
Thank you to the 6 people that requested lol
Girl you need to watch buffy the vampire slayer ur missing so so much fashion with vampires and witches esp from the 90s 😭🙏
so excited to watch!!
Emmy Rossum got shafted on beautiful creatures, some of her best costumes (or atleast more interesting costumes) got cut out of the film! at Lena's party Ridley is wearing a mint green Chanel inspired skirt suit with a long bob (with 60's volume) wig and matching pill box hat which gives a very Jackie O appearance. in more deleted materiel shes wearing a full lace basque with garters and stocking worn under a trench coat with a sleek straight black bob wig
17:00 that makeup served stop it I loved these outfits you were ✨giving ✨
I just came across your channel as i am researching for vampire dressing.
Quite cool and entertaining!
It's like you go in my brain to find a video I will love! Adore Witch fashion, especially the practical magic and the witches of east wick! Also the suspiria outfits, madame blanc's red dress especially!
i lurk there always hahah. Hope u enjoyed!!
love your purple sweater, it looks stunning omg
so cool right! thank u to bestie britt
If it’s an adaptation of “ The Worst Witch “, this character could be a metaphor for the teen misfit
love your videos so much!! thank you for your work on them
reee thank you ❤️
I loved it!! Loved the combination of the research and your own analisis!! 🖤💜🖤💜
u flatter me thank you!!!
iNSTANT lIKE!!
Your make-up looks awesome please don't put your self down
You look awesome in every video but I have to say your vocabulary and intelligence out shines your beauty
You have to take Glinda's statement in context. Up until "The Wizard of Oz" was written, it was believed there were no "good" witches at all. Witches could only be evil. Baum was challenging society's ideas about women by creating powerful witches who were not evil, but worked for the good of their people. (Not to mention the fact that Oz was itself a matriarchy - the Wizard's rule was accidental, and he was only able to hang onto power because the hereditary ruler, Ozma, had been kidnapped and held prisoner for years.) So Glinda's assertion that only evil witches were ugly was a step _away_ from the misogyny of the time by implying that witches could, in fact, be beautiful at all. Keep that in mind next time you assume something is an insult when it's really a show of support.
One fashion history video I saw mentioned that the hat was the variant of the conical hat because it was worn by quacker women and Quaker women were criticized by their advocacy and outspokenness which you can imagine, men at the time didn’t like very much
I've met Rachel True twice and both times she talked about how the other three girls get invited to cons as guests for The Craft but she's always left out.
i really dig your vid essays!
I always thought of the cloak as protection. Old people skin can be very fragile, so living in the woods can bring a fair bit of harm, such as being hit by a spindly branch and cut. I also think of witches being beaten by people who fear them so thick heavy cloaks would be more protection. Finally just the anonymity of it all. Blending in to hide either for protection or as a menace.
Somebody mentioned beautiful creatures!!!
And thank you for acknowledging how I feel about Evilene from the Wiz.
Very interesting! Thank you for this video! 💚
🖤your channel is brilliant, thank you!!
I've never heard about green being the color of the devil, but I do know that green was considered the color of the faeries. And there is definitely an association between witches and the fae. And speaking of fae, the hag image of the witch being ugly I think can indicate their being monstrous, inhuman. In fact hags can be considered a kind of fae, hence Jenny Greenteeth (and Meg Mucklebones, the swamp hag from the movie Legend). In certain depictions witches are considered inhuman beings, if not fae.
As far as masculine clothing wearing witches, there are male equivalents to the female witches in American Horror Story. And there is the movie The Covenant....
BEAUTIFUL CREATURES MENTIONED!!!!!
With the while accidentally using an evil ancient symbol... While she could be referring to magic, she could've also meant using something akin to the swastika from a time hundreds or thousands of years ago that wasn't widely recorded but certain groups would still take great offence at seeing.
Doesn't really matter I suppose, just though I'd throw out a more mundane possible explanation than accidentally summoning a demon through costuming.
Oh no that’s an interesting point! Thanks for highlighting it!
Just started to watch but I know it's going to be amazing. Let's goooo 🖤
this was so entertaining I didn't even realize the video is almost an hour long
OH SHIT YOURE GONNA TALK ABOUT SNOW WHITE TALE OF TERROR?! SEEE? this is why i love your vids!!!
for my freaks and my chics 😘
Thank you so much for this witchy deep dive💜🖤💜 Witch movies are my favorite!
Your white eyeshadow was a vuntage vibe I liked it. I very much LOVED your Video about The Fashion of Vampire .I did how ever learned more from watching this video. Bother were very detailed pacted with interesting info!
Thank you so much, glad it was informative 🦋🦋
I think the hat is also to represent the witches' opposite. The princess because she also wears a conical hat.
I love these videos so incredibly much
you need to watch hocus pocus me and my husband watch it every year for halloween🌈🌞 great video! subscribed🦋
Now that I have watched it all the way through, allow me to say you did a phenomenal job and I 💯 agree with you on the difference between The Craft and The Craft: Legacy in terms of costuming your characters and costuming for the sale of just looking cool. 👍🏻
I loved the video! Do you have the list of films mentioned?
Great video! But I also have to know where that black jumpsuit is from. I need it and I need it now
52 minutes?! Thank you 😊 ❤
I was waiting for this one 🌙✨🖤🐈⬛
AMAZING !
Not sure where you’re located but I know here on the west coast in the U.S., 2014/tumblr era fashion is absolutely already coming back! Crazy
hectic! it's defs starting to shift, but in wellinton-nz the street style I see most prominently returning is the 2005ish boho movement... low-waisted maxis and flared jeans, wrap tops w lettuce hems etc. We haven't quite come back round to high wasited denim and jeffrey campbells! No one is brave enough hahaha
I'm totally here for this.
I think the hocus pocus bit about not wanting to use a symbol that evil is less about believing in magic and more about not aligning the character with anything really concrete with reality is more the point.
The Welsh national costume also features a conical hat.
Cloaks are slowly coming back into fashion 🎉
1 of the 6 lol I've been looking forward to this!! it's so good!!! 'not the carrie kind of period witch' took me out
Ahh bless u!! thanks for being here x
45:40 I mean, Mary Poppins does quite explicitly perform magic, so yeah, I'd say she's a witch.
Well this is nice for someone creating a witch right now, thanks
The white witches dreads, as narnia, is based on native pre Christian European culture. Dreads were worn in the Nordic and Celtic region. The dreads are not questionable at all. (I’m Jamaican fyi)
babe wake up, a new Girl On Film video just dropped

Beautiful Creatures is secretly one of my favorite movies 🖤
