Who says witches are only for October? Author of current club read How to Flirt with a Witch, Tiana Warner, highlights the role of witches as feminist icons in a proposal to make 2025 the year of the witch!
Witches as feminist icons: 5 reasons to make 2025 the year of the witch
Between books, TV, movies, and musicals, witches are having a heyday, and it’s about time. In fact, now is better than ever for this symbol of female power to rise to popularity.
Here are 5 reasons witches are total icons that we should all aspire to.
Joan of Arc
1. Witches defy societal norms
This is no surprise, but witch hunts of the past weren’t really about magic. They were about controlling and suppressing women and marginalized people.
Living without a man? Independent income? Hanging out with other women instead of trying to find a husband? How dangerous. Must be a witch.
Many women accused of witchcraft were unconventional, independent (unmarried or widowed), or had strong social bonds with other women. They were boldly different—and today, we can channel the energy of those fierce women as a source of strength.
2. Witches challenge the patriarchy
Witch trials were fueled by the fear and hatred of women, especially those who were “disobedient”. This misogyny often intersected with homophobia, as women who formed close connections with other women were seen as threats to the traditional family structure. People were also targeted based on race and class. In essence, “witches” were strong women and marginalized individuals whom society deemed too deviant, too threatening, and too powerful.
3. Covens are found family
Covens are communities whose members share resources, knowledge, and strength, forming a united and unstoppable force. These sisterhoods are all about mutual support, creating a sense of belonging that is often lacking in mainstream society.
Today’s witches and Wiccan covens continue the tradition of solidarity, providing inclusive spaces for people to explore their spiritual paths without fear of judgment.
4. Witches resist traditional gender roles and sexuality
There’s something wonderfully sapphic about a group of women living together and doing little witchy spells and rituals. But the link between witches and sapphism is more than that. Back in the witch trials, deviations in sexuality and gender were used to justify witchcraft accusations. Joan of Arc was targeted for being “manly” and wearing men’s clothing. Even some men who defied societal norms, particularly queer men or those seen as feminine, were accused of witchcraft. The Malleus Maleficarum, the infamous 15th-century witch-hunting manual, warned against acting “unwomanly” and said witches engaged in sexual relations with other women.
Medieval people might have been terrified of sexuality, but today, sexuality is something to be celebrated. Joan of Arc is now a symbol of resilience. Witches in popular culture come in all the colors of the rainbow. Modern Wiccan traditions embrace feminist ideals that uplift queer identities. Witches continue to live outside conventional gender roles, defying societal expectations around sexuality, clothing, and lifestyles.
5. Witches are symbols of resilience
Feared and revered, witches have always been powerful women who live by their own rules. In medieval times, accusations of witchcraft were used to silence women, and the legacy of those who fought against the injustices lives on. From a dark history, witches have come to represent the strength and solidarity needed to overcome oppression. And in today’s media, what is a witch if not a strong woman fighting for what she wants?
From the Salem witch trials to modern Wiccan practices and witches in the media, witches have always been badass icons of defiance, feminism, and empowerment. Gather your coven, channel the fierce energy of our witchy ancestors, and let’s make 2025 the year of the witch.
