A Witch of Blood chooses to embody specific elements of promises, responsibilities, relationships, and camaraderie despite being surrounded by much of it, their entire identity built from scratch and fine-tuned the way they want it to be. They lack experience with impulse, freedom, adaptability, and independence, often seeking and studying what they can find of it in case it's something they can add to themselves. This means they're certain in themselves, but can be quite picky and biased (towards themselves) people, embodying what they like of Blood and discarding what they don't like in favor of Breath.
Witch of Blood (A)
A Witch of Blood (A) chooses to embody promises and responsibilities from their surroundings, always looking things to do and a way to fulfill themselves. They lack experience with impulse and freedom, seeking and studying such things to help steer themselves in a direction they'd like. This means they often change what kind of responsibilities they take on and what promises they make, and until they grow tired of such things, they won't be able to truly define freedom for themselves.
Witch of Blood (B)
A Witch of Blood (B) chooses to embody relationships and camaraderie from their surroundings, preferring to kick back and have fun with others. They lack experience with flexible adaptability and personal independence, seeking and studying such things to help steer themselves in a direction they'd like. This means they often change their relationships until they can find a balance between camaraderie and independence, through which they can adapt to the demands of their relationships for themselves.
A Witch of Space chooses to embody specific elements of innovation, variation, journeys, and patience despite being surrounded by much of it, their entire identity built from scratch and fine-tuned the way they want it to be. They lack experience with repetition, restlessness, goals and efficiency, often seeking and studying what they can find of it in case it's something they can add to themselves. This means they're certain in themselves, but can be quite picky and biased (towards themselves) people, embodying what they like of Space and discarding what they don't like in favor of Time.
Witch of Space (A)
A Witch of Space (A) chooses to embody innovation and variation from their surroundings, always looking for new ways to be different and creating such ways for themselves. They lack experience with restlessness and have no ending goal, seeking and studying such things to help steer themselves in a direction they'd like. This means they change too much too often and become entirely unrecognizable from who they started out as, and until they grow tired of such things, they won't be able to define or reach an ending goal.
Witch of Space (B)
A Witch of Space (B) chooses to embody journeys and patience from their surroundings, preferring to take it slow and enjoy what they like out of life. They lack experience with repetition and efficiency, seeking and studying such things to help steer themselves in a direction they'd like. This means they often change where they're going and tend to drift aimlessly until they're able to pin down a pattern of repetition, through which they can efficiently harness their own changing nature for themselves.

B) A Witch of Light embodies the evaluation of what something means, in order to change their own and others knowledge and the insight it gives them.
Witches are self-assured and conclusive individualists. They pick and choose which parts and pieces of their aspect fit into their own already determined desires, making their aspect embody themself and changing it to suit their own wants and needs. Their challenge is to achieve a stable balance in themself without losing themself to their aspect or their own changing whims.
Inverse Classpect Analysis of Witch
Witch of Light: Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning) is acted upon. Too little embodiment of aspect gives means to change it within the self, making it fit the self.
Inverse: Seer of Void
Void (Secrecy, Unknown, Potential, Possibilities) passively understands itself/makes itself known in the Witch as they actively change Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning) to embody Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning).
Void (Secrecy, Unknown, Potential, Possibilities) passively forces the Witch to experience it as the Witch changes Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning) to embody Light (Knowledge, Evaluation, Insight, Meaning).

Hi again! :D Just wanted to thank you for your analysis and give some feedback :]
I've suspected myself to be an Heir of Space, so seeing that you considered it gives me some reassurance.
I'm absolutely sure that between Space and Breath, the values/ stuff associated with Space are much more important to me, so would it make sense to deem myself Space-bound?
Regarding the knowledge of Time.. I honestly don't really understand what that means? If it's about the crochet repetition thing, then I'd say the knowledge of it is what I voluntarily looked for, like I intended to learn the patterns and stuff. Or, if we consider Time being also associated with death, would an interest in death-related stuff and desire to learn more about it also fit? I don't know if it's too far of a stretch..
Also, if it's not too much, what is the big main difference between being a Witch and an Heir? You've pointed out ' self-assurance' 'content in the self' being present in my answers, which you associated with a Witch. So in short, what would be the main thing that designates these two?
I'm sorry if this is too much, not sure if I should ask about this here or in DM's (´・ω・`)
[Log] (For the record, I don't mind wherever you want to ask me! My inbox is probably most reliable at this point in time, but follow-ups on classpect assignments can be inquired about in the notes of the post itself (for a few quick questions or thoughts), my inbox (for a list of questions, such as this), or in my DMs (for full discussion if you'd like).)
If the values of Space are more important to you than the values of Breath, you can absolutely call yourself Space-bound.
As for Time, I can elaborate on why I focused on it. I've seen it often overlooked in other classpect descriptions, but the inverse aspect actually has as much of an effect on you as your true aspect does. Time is just as present in you as Space is; it just isn't what calls to you from the Space-Time pair. This concept of inverses being just as present/impactful as true aspects are goes for all the classpects. (For example, I as a Seer of Heart have an inverse in Witch of Mind; I lack experience in Heart and am surrounded by Mind, so I study Heart through the lens of Mind. That's why I tend to be logical and thorough in my classpect definitions).
It depends on your class how your inverse aspect affects you. If you are an active class, your inverse class is a passive class. [I explain all the inverse class pairs in this post here].
If you are a Witch of Space, your inverse class is the Seer of Time (by embodying what you chose of Space, you end up studying Time).
If you are an Heir of Space, your inverse class is the Mage of Time (by embodying Space fully, you intimately and deeply know the good and bad of Time).
Perhaps a little nerdy of me, but relevant: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you Actively Change (Witch), you also Passively Know (Seer). You say you sought out the knowledge of Time that you have, and you desire to learn more about things relevant to Time (yes, death certainly is associated with Time, which is about endings), so I am even more inclined to say you may be a Witch of Space. Again, though, you are the one who decides what you are in the end.
There are many differences between the Witch and the Heir, but what I'll focus on is the contentment and where that contentment stems from.
Witches, because they specifically pick the pieces of their aspect that they like to embody, change the way their aspect is perceived by others and also how they handle their aspect, as compared to others who may share the same aspect. Witches are active classes and have direct relationships with their aspects. They also have unique takes on their aspects compared to every other class who may share their aspect; as well, there is no Witch who exists the same as any other Witch, even of the same aspect! A Witch who has had time to pick and choose what they like of their aspect and has had time to embody such things is often very happy with themself because they've built the ideal version of themself that they want to be. Their challenge as a class is to achieve a stable balance in themself without losing themself to their aspect or their own changing whims. (And if you are a Witch, I think you may be close to completing this challenge.)
Heirs, meanwhile, often have no choice in the embodiment of their aspect. Heirs are passive classes and have indirect relationships with their aspect because their inverse aspect is often more present and affective in their lives. They embody their aspect fully and completely, even too much, so much so that there is no room to change and they are stuck; they are so much of an embodiment of their aspect that it ends up looping around and limiting them. Even if they want to change, they will have trouble, but a Witch is able to easily change as according to their whim; it just depends on if the Witch wants to. An Heir gets no say, and often has to figure out a way around their aspect or get outside help if they want to change. And that happens to be a very big "if", when I say, "if they want to change". Often, an Heir is content to stay where they are because "it is what it is", or "this is how it's always been for me". Their challenge as a class is to not get stuck on their aspect, to know when to move on and change themselves to keep themselves balanced.
Certainly! A soft reminder that my take on the Witch class is a bit unconventional. The difference between these two witches is subtle, but they are not the same, make no mistake.

If it's okay can I have a witch of hope classpect analysis
Certainly!
The Witch was one of the most exciting classes for me to figure out, simply because it works in a way no other class does; a nature befitting the Witch itself, which was to have not just one analysis of it, but two for a player to pick which Witch they embody. In other words, a Witch picks a half of their aspect to embody, resulting in at least two unique different ways to be a Witch of any aspect.

Write up for the Witch of Doom? Or just the Doom aspect in general…
I actually received another ask about the Doom Aspect which should be posting soon, so I'll focus on the Witch of Doom for you here! A forewarning, my take on the Witch class is, from what I've seen, a bit unconventional. I hope you find it interesting anyways!
