Floating Witch Halloween Decoration A floating witch Halloween decoration is a popular and spooky addition to any Halloween event or home decor. This type of decoration typically features a witch figure suspended in the air, seemingly flying or hovering. It adds a touch of mystery and eerie charm to the ambiance of Halloween. These decorations come in various sizes and designs, allowing individuals to choose one that matches their desired level of fright. Some floating witch decorations feature a full-sized witch figure, complete with a long black robe, pointed hat, and broomstick, while others may be more simplified with just the silhouette of a witch. To create the illusion of the witch floating, these decorations usually come with invisible wires or strings that suspend the figure from the ceiling or other supporting structures.

Listening to ‘The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling’ is exhausting work

To create the illusion of the witch floating, these decorations usually come with invisible wires or strings that suspend the figure from the ceiling or other supporting structures. The wires are strategically placed in a way that makes it appear as if the witch is levitating, offering an enchanting and spooky visual effect. Floating witch Halloween decorations are versatile in their use.

A podcast promised clarity from Harry Potter author on how she feels about trans issues. But it falls to the audience to fact-check her.

While I was listening to the third episode of the new podcast “The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling,” a few lines sent me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole to make sure I hadn’t lost my mind. Rowling and her sympathetic host, Megan Phelps-Roper, were decrying “cancel culture,” using right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos as an example. In late 2016/early 2017, several colleges banned Yiannopoulos from speaking on campus — a move that Phelps-Roper claimed had the unfortunate effect of backfiring against the progressive movement. “Milo went from relative obscurity to being a regular on political talk shows in a matter of a few months,” Phelps-Roper asserts.

Milo Yiannopoulos? Obscure before his campus bannings? Really?

Get the full experience. Choose your plan ArrowRight

He’d already been a loud misogynist ringleader in the GamerGate controversy starting in 2014. He’d already helped spearhead a Twitter charge against the actress Leslie Jones. He was already a Breitbart editor; he already had a speaking career. College campuses didn’t pluck him from obscurity just to ban him; they wanted to ban him because of whom he already was and what he’d already done.

The Yiannopoulos conversation takes up only a minute or two of the “Witch Trials” episode, and it’s tangential to what I set out to write about. But it encapsulates the experience of listening to the podcast. Things are said that sound reasonable. You would only know they were unreasonable — they were, in fact, wrong — if you had the patience to fact-check, or if you had the personal experience of counterevidence. I stood in a packed Cleveland ballroom at the Republican National Convention in the summer of 2016, and I personally watched Yiannopoulos get a standing ovation. Obscure, my eye.

Can it really be true, as the episode implies, that legions of teenagers began identifying outside of the gender binary solely because the social media platform Tumblr gave them profile options beyond male and female? Is it common for transgender rights activists to virulently protest “feminist” conferences, as the podcast asserts?

To answer that last question, you would have to already know — because the podcast won’t tell you — that the “feminist” conferences protested by transgender rights advocates are typically gatherings that specifically exclude transgender women from the umbrella of the feminist movement. You would have to know that there are many feminist organizations and individual feminists, such as myself, who find this exclusion unconscionable. That transgender women don’t want to take down feminism; they want to be a part of it.

Listening to “The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling” is exhausting. It’s exhausting because it requires constant vigilance.

And it’s exhausting because the phrase “constant vigilance,” I’ve just realized, entered my own lexicon via Mad-Eye Moody, a beloved Harry Potter character. Because Rowling is a brilliant and beloved storyteller who is astonishingly good at entering lexicons, manipulating language and telling fantasy stories. It’s how she became famous. It’s why events surrounding Rowling these past few years have felt like a godawful mess.

Is J.K. Rowling transphobic?

That’s why I was listening to the podcast to begin with. It promised that Rowling would “speak with unprecedented candor and depth about the controversies surrounding her — from book bans to debates on gender and sex.” Since 2020, Rowling’s status as a celebrated liberal and literary icon has taken a nosedive because of tweets and references that supporters of trans rights view as transphobic but that Rowling says are merely trying to protect women and girls.

“If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased,” she tweeted in the summer of 2020, as part of a thread protesting gender-neutral phrasing related to menstruation.

She followed it up with a lengthy blog post lamenting the “new trans activism” and questioning whether young people were identifying as trans because they’ve been “persuaded” via social fads rather than innate identity. She said the transgender rights movement offered “cover to predators like few before it.” She began retweeting random accounts that said things such as, “My grandmother had the right to get an abortion, to female only spaces, and did not feel any social pressure to use a rapist’s preferred pronouns. For some reason 60+ years later, I do not have any of these.”

I won’t dissect Rowling’s every tweet or retweet of the past three years — Glamour magazine has a good general rundown, if you’re interested — but I’ll fast-forward a bit to say that Rowling’s Twitter account in the past few months has returned multiple times to one particular British case: a transgender woman who was convicted of rape before she transitioned, and who was now set to be transferred to a women’s prison. Rowling’s attention to this story appeared to be in service to a broader argument that it is grievously dangerous for cisgender women to have to share spaces with transgender women.

What else has she said?

She’s said that she “knows and loves” trans people. She has said that “trans people need and deserve protection.” She has said that she supports trans people calling themselves whatever they want and that she feels “empathy and solidarity with trans women who have been abused by men.”

If you claim that Rowling is transphobic in the public sphere, quotes such as the ones above are the ones that will probably be cited by her supporters. How can she be transphobic? She said she knows and loves trans people!

You might have seen a recent column written by a British writer named EJ Rosetta. Rosetta claimed to have been assigned a piece called “20 Transphobic JK Rowling Quotes We’re Done With,” but said that, after months of research, she hadn’t been able to find “a single one.” Rowling, according to Rosetta, “was saying ‘there are downsides that I feel should be discussed’ not ‘I hate trans people’.”

There, truly, is the whole issue in a nutshell. If your bar for bigotry requires Rowling to say out loud, “I hate trans people,” then that bar will never be cleared. Even if Rowling feels that way, I doubt she’d ever say it that way; even conservative pundits know not to say it that way. There is simply nothing to be strategically gained by uttering such an obviously prejudiced sentence.

Is J.K. Rowling transphobic?

Journalism is a business for sticklers. Reporters are discouraged from calling anyone transphobic, or homophobic, or racist, because doing so requires knowing what’s in their hearts when the only thing we can know with certainty is what comes out of their mouths.

So what I can say is that what comes out of her mouth, or goes onto her Twitter account, has a fuzzy aura of harmful rhetoric. Rowling might indeed believe she has transgender friends. But taken as a whole, her body of communication on the issue, such as the things she chooses to retweet and the provocative language she uses while doing so — cumulatively, it sucks.

Her communications have implicitly conflated being trans with being a predator. Her communications have made unsupported claims about transitioning, and detransitioning, and what demographics are transitioning, and why (referencing, for example, a heavily flawed 2018 study about “rapid-onset gender dysphoria”). The communications have implied that many trans men are confused, and that some trans women are actually just dangerous men in drag (referring to female prisoners “being terrified of being locked up with male rapists, murderers and domestic abusers”).

They can be hung indoors, such as in the main hall, living room, or entrance area of a home or party venue. The floating witch can be positioned to center stage, drawing the attention and curiosity of guests or trick-or-treaters. They can also be used outdoors, suspended from trees or porch ceilings, creating a creepy and captivating atmosphere. Besides being a visual highlight, floating witch Halloween decorations can also be accompanied by sound effects, such as cackling laughter or eerie music. This enhances the overall experience and creates a more chilling and immersive environment for Halloween celebrations. Overall, floating witch Halloween decorations are an exciting and spooky addition to any Halloween setting. They provide an element of surprise and suspense, making them a favorite choice for individuals looking to create a hauntingly memorable Halloween experience..

Reviews for "Enhance Your Outdoor Halloween Decorations with a Floating Witch"

1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the quality of this floating witch Halloween decoration. First of all, the material felt cheap and flimsy, like it would tear easily. Secondly, the motion sensor didn't always work properly, so the witch wouldn't float when someone approached. Lastly, the design just wasn't very scary or impressive. Overall, I would not recommend this product if you're looking to create a spooky atmosphere for your Halloween decorations.

2. Michael - 2/5 stars - The floating witch Halloween decoration was a total letdown for me. The assembly process was a hassle, with unclear instructions and parts that didn't fit together properly. Once it was set up, the motion sensor seemed to be too sensitive, causing the witch to constantly float up and down even when there was no one nearby. The sound effects were also quite cheesy and not very eerie. I think there are definitely better options out there for Halloween decorations.

3. Stacy - 1/5 stars - I absolutely regret purchasing the floating witch Halloween decoration. The whole thing was a disaster. Not only was it difficult to assemble, but the parts were flimsy and felt like they would break at any moment. The motion sensor hardly ever worked, and even when it did, the witch's floating motion was jerky and not at all smooth. The sound effects were laughably fake and not scary in the slightest. I ended up returning this decoration and finding a better one elsewhere.

4. David - 2/5 stars - I was excited to add some spooky ambiance to my Halloween decor with the floating witch decoration, but I was disappointed with the overall quality. The construction felt flimsy and the material was thin, making it prone to tears. The motion sensor was hit or miss, sometimes not responding at all or floating up and down randomly. The sound effects were lackluster and not very convincing. I wouldn't recommend this decoration to anyone looking for a truly frightening addition to their Halloween setup.
