Which witch from folklore are you most like Witches have been a prominent figure in folklore and legends for centuries. These enchanting beings have captivated our imaginations with their mystical powers and intriguing personas. Each witch in folklore possesses her own unique traits and abilities, making her different from the others. This raises the question, which witch from folklore are you most like? One of the most popular witches in folklore is the wicked witch. She is often portrayed as an evil, malevolent being who uses her powers for selfish and destructive purposes. If you find yourself drawn to darker and more sinister ideas, you might identify with the wicked witch.
For the vast majority of our waking hours these days, I am at the front by myself, and everyone else is chilling in headspace (or not chilling, that’s mostly Felix). Our inner world is elaborate and delightful and frequently in flux to accommodate our every whim. We have several buildings, a magickal campfire which is our primary hangout location, a river, a lake, and a forest of course. Everyone can modify their appearance at will (again, that’s mostly Felix), and while I feel my “true” appearance looks essentially the same as the body, in headspace I will sometimes change my clothes or make my hair longer or conjure tattoos. Recently I’ve been trying to better separate my concept of self from the body, because a few Forest residents are developing the ability to co-front with me. It’s not my body, it’s our body, and I’m just the one who finds it the most easy and natural to drive this physical vessel.
In future posts, we re going to be very clear about when we re talking about plurality in general and when we re talking about our subjective experience, but most of the time it will be the latter. It is the first Wicca Phase record fully written by McIlwee, utilizing guitars and keyboards to create each song s core and building upwards from there.
If you find yourself drawn to darker and more sinister ideas, you might identify with the wicked witch. Those who are cunning, ambitious, and unafraid to embrace their dark side may resonate with this witch. On the other hand, there are witches like the wise old witch.
Defining Plurality
Oh dear. Plurality is difficult to define too, isn’t it? We had better use the same strategy for this one, then: general definition, and in-depth description of what it looks like for us. (See Defining Paganism for our first post using this format.)
Plurality: An umbrella term for when more than one person shares the same physical body with others. (definition courtesy of https://pluralityresource.org/, an amazing resource)
In our (albeit limited) experience, it seems like people often have some sort of vague concept of what paganism is. (“Oh, like Wicca?” “So you worship Zeus and stuff?”) Granted, we tend to interact with relatively open-minded people in areas with a generally liberal population where pagans would be safer sharing their views than other places. But no matter the location (as far as we can tell), with plurality it’s a different story. The media paints a picture that’s wildly different from reality, and it’s not a pretty picture. In that respect the situation is similar to witchcraft, but at least people have heard of witchcraft and relevant terminology (covens and grimoires and spells, oh my!) We had to start from square one when it came to plural terminology (fronting? age slider? singlet?), and my lack of knowledge was a barrier in discovering we were plural in the first place (more on that in a future post, stay tuned). I did know a bit about Dissociative Identity Disorder, and I knew that people who had it were just people trying to live their lives with a neurodivergent brain, like me with my bipolar disorder. But deep down, I had concluded that existing with more than one person in the same brain was, at its core, a negative thing. And I have never been so glad to be wrong.
Long story short, I discovered that plural systems can exist in a healthy way. They can love being that way, embracing their plurality, and adore living exactly as they are- together. After a few months of adjusting and healing, we can say with big smiles on our faces that we love being this way, we love each other, and we wouldn’t change it for the world. Because my frame of reference for plurality was centered around DID, I was under the impression that amnesia and dissociation and trauma were always involved, and I was very wrong about that as well. For clarity, I’m absolutely not saying that traumagenic systems or disordered systems are (insert negative adjective here), I’m just saying that’s not our experience. Our system didn’t form as a result of trauma, and there were never any situations where someone else came to the front and I had no idea what happened during that period of time. I have always been conscious of what’s going on with our physical body while it’s awake, and that was another barrier in my journey towards discovering the other beautiful people in here: I was in control, so I thought the body was mine and mine alone. Again, joyfully wrong.

Generally speaking, everything I experience while fronting solo is also experienced by my headmates, though it varies from extremely vivid to borderline imperceptible depending on their proximity to the front. Sometimes one or more of them will be right here with me, watching and listening and talking to me, which manifests visually as us sitting together on the dock gazing out over the lake. It’s also possible for them to completely isolate with very little, if any, awareness of what’s going on with the rest of us, both in headspace and physically. That doesn’t happen often, but they do have the option to take a break if they’re overwhelmed, which is wonderful. Most of us are unable to leave headspace, but C and Minnie have both done so in the past. C can leave indefinitely, but Minnie is tied to the body by whatever force brought us into being here together, and she can’t leave for more than a few hours at a time.
Sharing the body definitely gets complicated, and a question we’ve gotten surprisingly often is about how we handle disagreements. Do they happen often? What if one person wants one thing and another person wants the opposite? Honestly, while it’s certainly difficult to balance our individual needs with our collective needs at times, disagreements aren’t a major issue for us. (Recently, the most heated conflict has been over which scarves we should buy. It was a whole thing, and poor Felix with his singular fashion sense was outvoted, but he’s okay.) For other systems, though, it’s a big predicament, especially when they have way more headmates than we do. In future posts, we’re going to be very clear about when we’re talking about plurality in general and when we’re talking about our subjective experience, but most of the time it will be the latter.
I think I’ll leave it at that for now. If you’re curious about a certain plurality-related topic, there’s a good chance we’ll discuss it in another post down the line. And if you’re confused, that’s okay, cause we are too. It only gets weirder from here, so hold onto your butts.

Reviews for "Channeling the Witchy Energy: Which Witch from Folklore Harnesses Your Power?"
1. Samantha - 1 star
I was really excited to take the "Which witch from folklore are you most like" quiz, but I was sorely disappointed. The questions were so cliché and stereotypical, with options like "Do you prefer black cats or owls?" and "Do you like to wear pointy hats?". I was hoping for a more in-depth analysis that would provide insights into my personality and characteristics. Instead, I felt like I was reading a generic horoscope. Overall, this quiz lacked originality and depth, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful witch personality assessment.
2. Jason - 2 stars
As someone who enjoys exploring folklore and witchcraft, I had high hopes for this quiz. However, it fell short in many aspects. Firstly, the questions were too vague and generic, leaving little room for accurate depiction of different witch archetypes. Moreover, the quiz lacked historical context and failed to provide any meaningful information about the folklore behind each witch. I was expecting to learn something new, but instead, I was left with shallow descriptions that did not resonate with me or my interests. Overall, this quiz missed the mark and left me unimpressed.
