All you need is a dash of spirit, a pinch of inspiration, and a lot of creativity. You don’t need Halloween as an excuse to use these spook-tacular Witch fonts. Far from their morbid past, they are now delightful and colorful characters that make this holiday a special treat for all. Today, witches are one of the more popular symbols for Halloween. From the mid-1400s up to 1660, thousands of women accused of being witches were either tortured, or killed. However, many of these ‘witches’ during that time were simply wise women, who knew how to use herbs. The early Christians of Europe for instance, saw them as malevolent practitioners of black magic. Then there’s the suburban wife or teenager, who’s just trying to control her powers and do wonderful deeds.īut the real origins and history of witches are far darker – and for the witches themselves, deadlier. There’s also the old hag who lives either with her coven or by herself in the woods. There’s the green, wart-nosed villain who rides on a broom and likes to terrorize children. The witches that we know now come in all shapes and forms.
