Samantha of course. I loved Bewitched when I was a child.

@JLeslie I hope you twitched your nose as you answered, alas, I fear not.

I liked Mrs. Whatsit in A Wrinkle in Time.

Ahem….

^^ Hiya gawgus ;-}

a sand-witch

Granny Weatherwax.

Twitching nose…how DID she do that?
Glenda, of course.

AND….then there is always WillWorkForChocolate. :)

Wits.

How can you not love her?

Flashback!

Elphaba from _ Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West_ Not the best written book that I’ve read, but one that held interest. It provides the background of how Oz’s Wicked Witch of the West came to be perceived as ‘wicked’ while shedding insight on her personality. The premise was quite clever.

Glinda the good witch and the lascivious Nanny Ogg.

“Are you a goo-ta witch or a bad-da witch?”

Herculine, from The Book of Shadows, by James Reese. The character is apparently based off of Herculine Barbin who was a hermaphrodite.
The character in this book is also a hermaphrodite, and as the book is somewhat erotica, she ends up having sex with ghosts and demons and stuff. It’s pretty awesome. lol.
But you get to see her from when she first learns that she’s a witch and then, under the tutelage of Sebastiana, this supreme witch, she learns more and more of the craft. I always thought she was cool because in the book Herculine is super intelligent, but she’s also really shy and caring and sensitive, which is unlike a lot of witches. :/

There are a lot of other kick ass characters in there, one of my faves is Madelaine de la Mettrie, who’s a ghost. She killed herself by shoving a fireplace pick down her mouth and tearing her throat open. Her ghost form takes the shape of what she was like as she died, so now she’s a ghost who’s throat is eternally bleeding. (the spilled blood disappears after seven hours, how conversant) And when she talks, it’s just all these bubbly and gurgly sounds, it’s fucking awesome.

In the story, Herculine is the only one who can help Madelaine find eternal rest, and it’s a big part of the story, but I can’t reveal that.

So my favorite witch is Herculine, the hermaphrodite witch woman/man.

Witch Hazel

The Halliwell sisters from Charmed.

@Dutchess_III I’ll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!

Nanny Ogg from the Discworld series of books, by the brilliant Terry Pratchett!
She is wonderful.

I am my own favorite witch.

It used to be Witch Hazel, but Charlize Theron’s portrayal of Raveena in Snow White and the Huntsman really impressed me. She’s my new favorite witch now.

Well, here’s my little dog @WillWorkForChocolate! Go for it!

I love the witch from Bugs Bunny, she had the most wonderful cackle ever & when her hair-pins scattered in the air whenever she buggered off…fantastic stuff.
Some of these i’ve never heard of, but my fave witch would be the wicked one…you know, from the west.
Cheers interweb dwellers, good stuff.

Definitely the Wicked Witch of the West and her army of Flying Monkeys.

Oh another I loved. This just shows I was a warped kid—or destined to be a “faux queen” (woman who dresses up like a drag queen. I swear there’s a term for everything in San Francisco) Everyone loved Samantha from Bewitched—I loved Endora. I loved her clothes and her hair and her over the top makeup. I loved how she could be so dismissive and rude to “Derwood”... I also loved that she was too proud to hide being a witch.

Eglantine, from Bedknobs & Broomsticks! I loved that movie so much when I was younger and still sometimes sing its songs shamelessly.

And then there was the third witch on Bewitched who was always blithering and couldn’t get any of the spells right. . . . a plump frumpish dithering lovable failure of a witch. I can’t remember her name. Help?

Aunt Clara… I liked her too.

Winifred Sanderson

My tennant

Bad Jelly the Witch

Score @Adagio!
Witchy Poo, HR Puff N Stuff

@Dutchess_lll I reckon!

@keobooks Yes! Thanks.

The witch from the Sega Megadrive game ‘Castle of illusion – starring Mickey Mouse’
Because at the beginning of the game the witch kidnapped Minnie Mouse, and I hate Minnie Mouse, she’s a slut.

Otfried Preußler’s “kleine Hexe”

Madam Mim from The Sword in the Stone

The Sanderson Witches from Hocus Pocus. I love the Bugs Bunny witch too. Not sure if Mary Poppins is a witch but she uses magic…love her!
Although she was a shaman, I loved to hate Alti from the Xena series. Close enough to being a witch I think.
Since no one has mentioned them, I’ll bravely admit that I also liked the Harry Potter witches. :P

The evil queen in snow white she was a baaaadddd gal!

How about Latrine, in that Billy Crystal movie? (What was the name of that? Was that The Princess Bride?)

Latrine was in Robin Hood, Men in Tights, LOL!

Oh well. Whatever. SHE’S my favorite Witch! Besides you, of course @WillWorkForChocolate

Twit! :D

Peanut butter and jelly ‘which.’

@Seek First time seeing that toon. Too funny!

Sand Witch.
