Witches are priestesses of Earth Mother and they are popularly seen as malevolent {wishing evil or harm to others}.This popular view, perpetuated by those children writers and teachers who know nothing of the history of witches, derives from the Christian persecution of witches as devil-worshipers, which in turn derived from Christian tendency to separate God from nature and to worship a transcendent {sky-} god rather than an indwelling {earth-}goddess. A witch in dreams may therefore represent either the possibilities below. An internal source of wisdom, healing and growth.

Alternatively, a witch may be a destructive unconscious force: for example, a repressed part of yourself. In a man's dreama witch may symbolize the negative aspect of the anima. Do you suffer from moodiness and a conviction that nothing can ever come right for you? This may be because you feel in some way let down by your mother. 'the character pf a mansanima is as a rule shaped by his mother".
