How to Describe a Witch in a Story

By Isobel Coughlan

Are you writing a novel about witches? If you need some help, we’ve put together a list of descriptive words you can use in your writing below. Scroll down to learn how to describe a witch in a story.

Someone that’s miserable or bad-tempered.

“The grumpy witch sat on her stool and pondered all that was bad in the world.”

“Though the witch had received an apology from the fearful townspeople, she still felt grumpy about their scornful actions.”

How it Adds Description

You can show the witch is ill-tempered via the adjective “grumpy.” This shows that she’s either always in a bad mood or something has happened to lower her spirits. Being “grumpy” will likely make the witch an unpopular person, as she won’t be positive about anything. Other characters may even avoid the witch when she’s in a “grumpy” mood, leaving her isolated and even grumpier.

2. Compassionate

Someone who shows understanding or pity for those who are suffering.

“Many people were scared of the witch, but they didn’t know her true compassionate nature. She wouldn’t even harm a fly.”

“The compassionate witch took the injured cat into her home and used her magic to nurse it back to health.”

The word “compassionate” signals that the witch is kind-hearted and sympathetic to those around her, making her an overall pleasant person. Some characters may misjudge her based on typical witch stereotypes, and they might feel bad when they realize she’s “compassionate” and caring.

Someone who achieves things in a clever way, and often by deceit.

“No one suspected that the car crash was the witch’s fault. Once again, her cunning nature had allowed her to get away with her crimes.”

“The witch thought of herself as cunning and witty, but her friends saw through her act.”

“Cunning” can be used to describe a witch that’s clever but uses her intelligence to deceive others and craft intricate plans. This is a trait associated with people who are very intellectually sharp or people who trick others frequently, and their talents might draw other characters towards them for help or to achieve their goals.

Someone who isn’t sensible and lacks common sense.

“The witch felt foolish after she realized she bought the wrong ingredients for the spell.”

“Only foolish witches use eye of newt! Everyone knows the ingredients are toe of frog and wool of bat.”

While many think witches are clever, they also sometimes have rash moments and can exhibit “foolish” behavior. “Foolish” shows that your witch has had a slip of judgment, which may lead to problems further down the line in the novel. Additionally, nasty characters may try to take advantage of a “foolish” witch, as she might be easier to deceive.

Someone who is very thin , bony, and unattractive.

“The little boy yelped when he caught a glimpse of the scrawny witch. Her hair was ragged, and her face was covered in deep-set wrinkles.”

“Despite her scrawny and unkempt appearance, the witch was one of the most influential of the coven.”

Typically, witches are considered to be haggard and unkempt looking. If you’re trying to show your witch has a run-down appearance, “scrawny” is an excellent word to use. This gives the reader a clear visual while showing that the character doesn’t care about keeping up her appearance. This could be because she’s more focused on her magic or simply doesn’t want to adhere to strict beauty standards.

6. Seductive

Someone who is very attractive or can make you do something against your will.

“The seductive witch used her beauty and powers to attract her victims.”

“Unlike the others, the young witch was seductive and took pleasure in toying with the local gentlemen.”

While there are clear stereotypes about witches being unattractive, “seductive” can be used to describe a witch who is beautiful and attracts admirers. If wicked, the witch could use her “seductive” qualities to use the admirers in her magical plans. Alternatively, some witches may not enjoy being “seductive” as it draws too much attention to them.

7. Powerful

Someone who can influence or control people and events.

“The high priestess witch was the most powerful the coven had ever seen.”

“Despite her lack of experience, Anna was a naturally powerful witch.”

If you want to show a witch’s influence or command over events, “powerful” will help. This adjective portrays the witch as an impressive character, and many lesser witches may look to her for advice or respect her abilities.

8. Villainous

Someone willing to break the law or harm others to get what they want.

“Her villainous mother was a witch, and she tried to spend as much time away from her as possible.”

“The local witch was villainous , and she constantly tried to harm the local residents with magical potions.”

“Villainous” portrays the witch as a bad person, so consider this adjective if the witch is the villain of your story. Most characters will dislike the “villainous” witch, as she doesn’t care about other people’s feelings and actively tries to hurt them. This will likely make her an outcast.

9. Intimidating

Someone that’s frightening and makes others lose confidence.

“The girl looked into the intimidating witch’s eyes and shuddered.”

“Even the king felt insecure in the presence of the intimidating witch.”

You can explore your witch’s power and her effect on others via “intimidating.” This adjective shows that others find her scary and may also feel self-conscious or timid in her presence. Only confident characters will be able to stand up to an “intimidating” witch.

10. Studious

Someone who spends lots of time studying .

“Unlike the other teen witches, Sabrina was studious and preferred to study the history of spells and potions.”

“The Hogwarts library is a dream come true for studious witches.”

“Studious” can be used to show your fictional witch is either interested in studying, reading, or academia in general. This also implies that she has a dedicated personality, as studying takes a lot of effort and organization. Other witches may be jealous of this trait, especially if the witch receives higher grades or more praise for her work.

Witchy words and potent potion poems - writing activities inspired by witches

By Joanne Owen | 9th October 2022

From perennial picture book favourites like Meg and Mog and Winnie the Witch , to classic fiction that captivates generation after generation like The Worst Witch and Pongwiffy , witches provide rich pickings for fiction. Witches also have the power to spark very different kinds of stories, as revealed by two of our recent favourites, Witchstorm and Stone .

With all that in mind, and with Halloween on the horizon, this month’s Get Creative feature shares poem puzzler activities that use witchy words to spark creepily creative writing. 

You might want to use these poem puzzlers alongside our feature on writing spooky stories . If you’re looking for seasonal reading material, check out our collection of books for Halloween .

Without further ado, board your broomstick, buckle up and let your imagination soar up, up and away!

1. Witchy words Write an acrostic poem about witches. An acrostic poem is a poem in which the first letter of each line spells out the word the poem is about, like this example about some creeping cats:

C ats creep sleekly  A s the moon shines bright. T iny paws patter S oftly through the night.

Write your own acrostic poem about a witch. 

2. Potent potion poem

Now write an acrostic poem about a potion. Perhaps it could be a rhyming spell. Think about what ingredients might go into your potion and the sounds it makes as it bubbles away. For example, does it fizz, spit, pop or bang? Think about what power your potion has.

P O T I O N

3. Find a familiar

Many witches have an animal familiar to keep them company and help them do their magic, a bit like a sidekick, or a best mate they can always rely on! Pick your familiar and write an acrostic poem about them. 

Tip: you don’t have to write about an obvious animal, like a cat, bat, or frog. You could go for something more unusual. How about a spell-squawking parrot? Or a monkey that becomes magical by the light of the moon?!

For more writing activities, read the rest of our regular Get Creative series .

How to Write Spells & Improve Your Witchcraft

Many experienced witches find themselves constantly running up against the confines of other peoples spells. Perhaps you’re never able to find the spell that’s  just right , that feels tailored to your purpose. Or maybe you’ve become very comfortable working with your personal set of tools and ingredients but spells regularly call for things that you don’t have (and don’t care to have!) while underutilizing those items that you’ve so carefully curated for your craft.

For witches in this situation, writing your own spells might be the only plausible solution to reviving the fluidity and enjoyment of your craft.

For some newer witches the process of writing your own spells may seem a bit intimidating. When you haven’t got much experience under your belt sticking with spells written by other people just feels safer. And that’s OK! As with any art, you must first copy other peoples work until you simply cannot stand it anymore to really master the techniques and build a firm foundational knowledge. Only then do you start to compose and explore your own voice in your craft.

Even for those who are new to the craft however, playful experimentation can hold merit. If you feel confident and ready to explore a little more freely please do not hold yourself back regardless of whether you consider yourself a beginner or a more advanced witch.

A few Pros of writing your own spells:

• You’re never missing materials
• You can tailor every spell for the spirits and energies you work with
• Spells can be as involved or simple as you like
• Experimentation! (I count this as a pro because it’s fun)
• You get complete creative license with your magic
• You learn and develop a personal style in your craft

A few Cons:

• You may not really get a good idea of what works until you’ve been writing for a while
• Sometimes it’s too time consuming to write your own spell
• Some people can’t write well (although if you’re not attached to your spells being beautifully worded don’t let this stop you!

Writing Your Spell

The first thing you must do is clearly define the purpose of the spell or your intention. A good beginners rule is to start with the guidelines below when outlining the objective of your spell.

• Phrase it as though what you want to happen is presently true
• Make it absolute
• Make sure it’s descriptive and phrased in such a way that doesn’t leave a lot of loopholes for mishaps (i.e. “I am ten pounds lighter” could lead to you getting food poisoning and dropping ten pounds, not so fun)

Though similar, these rules aren’t so hard and fast for spell writing as they are for creating sigils. Play around with these guidelines and find what works for you! I prefer working more abstractly, working with the natural flow of events instead of shaping them overly much. If you work with a deity or particular spirit then phrasing it as a request instead of an absolute may work a bit better for you.

As an example, lets say our objective is to attract more abundance. Now, we don’t have anything specific in mind, we simply want to open up the channels that can allow abundance in a variety of ways into our lives. The objective could be phrased a number of ways, “I am open to abundance and draw prosperity into my life” would work, as would “Abundance enters my life freely”.

Next, it’s time to figure out what kind of spell you’d like to use. This is largely going to depend on what materials you have available to you and what kind of magic you’re comfortable working with. If you can’t cook you probably don’t want to be making food-based spells and if you don’t have jars then that curse jar isn’t going to get very far. This is a fun place to get creative though. Have you ever wondered if you could use something in a spell? Now is the time to try it! (In all likelihood the answer is yes)

Our abundance spell could be set up any number of ways, for example you could use:

• An abundance attracting knotted bracelet
• A candle spell
• A charged object that you keep near your bed
• A bowl of enchanted pennies that you throw your change into every day
• Or even some combination of techniques

This is just a fraction of the ways you could do this one spell, this is the time to really let your individual preferences and strengths shine through. What sort of spells do you love doing? What have you always wanted to try? What feels truly powerful to you?

From this point on it’s all tweaking, you have your bases covered, you just need to assemble the pieces. This includes your “standards” like any kind of sacred space that you cast for working, calling deities and other entities, invoking elements, etc. This would also be a good time to figure out if you like working with words. Most of my spells are wordless but I know there are many witches who like to supplement their power with incantations, rhymes and sometimes songs or chants. Writing these yourself is an excellent way to just funnel that much more energy into your spell. 

If we continue with our abundance spell, say we’ve decided to enchant an object. There are many objects that we could choose but I prefer one that I’ll come into contact with frequently, something like a wallet would serve perfectly in this context. 

To assemble the pieces of the spell we would begin with cleansing and calling up a sacred space. After that we might write the intention on a slip of paper and tuck it under a green or gold candle that has been dressed with a basil infused oil. You might choose to say an incantation as you light the candle or you might prefer to quietly focus on your intention as the candle burns down. When the candle has burned itself out the slip of paper simply needs to be placed in the wallet and then we can end the spell by closing our sacred space.

There are an endless number of ways that you can combine types of spells and tools and ingredients, let your imagination run wild and see what you can come up with. What sounds ridiculous in theory may turn out to be the best spell you’ve ever tried. Be creative, have fun and don’t hold back!

If you try a new spell that you’ve written and it doesn’t work, tweak it and try it again. Writing spells is like any kind of creative process, you’re likely to find a dozen methods that don’t work for you before you find even one that does.

<3. Thank you for sharing this….

The best advice ever, thank you for sharing

I’m an experienced witch. But I travel light and never really thought about some of the tools of the trade as being part of my everyday agenda. Of course I read about a wand finding its witch, but a hawthorne just dropped into my lap. So, I do what I need to cleanse and charge it. I palm it to find its true use. But here is the odd part…. I feel something like stage fright coming from it. It has a strong energy, I can feel the vibration. It’s strong. So I’m stuck as to what my next move is? Thank you in advance. Any insight will be appreciated and helpful.

Good information, thank you.

Stanford Creative Writing Program

The Stanford Creative Writing Program , founded in 1946 by Wallace Stegner, has become one

of the nation’s most distinguished creative writing institutions. After almost 80 years, the

program continues to evolve while also respecting its original vision of recruiting and supporting

talented writers, offering exceptional creative writing instruction and mentorship, and inspiring

undergraduates to develop their own unique creative written expression.

In the 1940s, E. H. Jones generously created the Wallace Stegner Fellowship, now considered

the most prestigious creative writing fellowship in the U.S. for emerging writers. Dr. Jones also

made possible the Jones Lectureships, which are limited, fixed-year teaching appointments,

allowing exceptional Stegner Fellows some time and support to prepare a manuscript for

publication, hone their teaching skills, and transition to a longer-term teaching career elsewhere.

The original framework of term-limited appointments allowed for a consistent flow of selected

Stegner Fellows into the Jones Lectureship. However, over time this framework of term-limited

appointments was not followed.

In the past two years, the School of Humanities and Sciences leadership and the Creative

Writing Academic Council faculty have been working to formulate necessary changes in the

program and to identify additional resources to meet its growing needs. A Working Group of

Creative Writing Academic Council faculty held listening sessions and discussions.

Now, after thoughtful deliberation, the Working Group has recommended restoring the original

intent of the Jones Lectureships: one-year appointments with the possibility of renewal for a

limited term. This change will again allow Stegner Fellows the opportunity to apply to be Jones

Lecturers once they have completed their fellowships.

The university, school, and numerous generous donors are committed to not only the excellence

of the program but also its growth. This means increasing the number of Creative Writing

classes to better meet high student demand as well as ensuring competitive compensation for

both the lecturers and fellows. We will provide more updates in early fall quarter.

We understand that these changes to the Jones Lectureships will be met with mixed reactions.

However, we firmly believe that the changes advance the program’s pedagogical mission and

provide promising writers with the resources to complete their books and obtain appointments at

other colleges and universities.

Throughout the history of the program, the Jones Lecturers—both those who are here now and

those who have been lecturers in the past—have helped make Stanford Creative Writing what it

is today, and we are truly grateful to them for their significant contributions to the program’s
