Witch rises like incense from the roots of the forgotten temple. She steps forward cloaked in red, not to cast, but to transmute.

Witch walks with the scent of cardamom and rebellion—the WITCH in her crimson robe, echoing Mary Magdalene's wisdom long misunderstood. She holds no wand, no pentagram, for that path—both black and white magic—has run its course. She holds a Shepard's Stick or Bischop's Stick not to imitate the wooden raised platform in church, but to walk with it in remembrance of all the beautiful experiences both religious and earthly. The pentagram, once the zenith of earthbound craft, has poured itself into many cups. Grail-shaped. Spell-laced. Beautiful... and bound to duality.

She no longer plays the game of: 'Hit me with your rhythm stick", for no punishment is required. Cosmic and earthen rhytms come together in a dance. While dancing of women was seen as inappropriate, she has used this rhytm stick against herself to align with it. The stick itself became a tunnel of the dark night of the Soul. Also was this stick a tool for het character as a Bâtonnier. A Bâtonnier is the head of a legal profession either of military, playing the drums of battle, Now she has layed off the religious and witchcraft garments and wears a crimson robe like a ruby, reminding us of the Ruby Ray of Yeshua, radiating passion through the Rose Heart all around.

This Witch has walked beyond. Beyond charm and banish, beyond command and conceal. From the old geometry of the pentacle, she steps into the Star of David—two interwoven triangles, Divine Feminine and Masculine, entwined in infinite alchemy. This is not witchcraft. This is Merlin Alchemy—where power is no longer wielded, but woven. Merlin is a title of being an Alchemist, it is not a name on itself.

She stands not as one who casts spells—but as one who embodies Source. Her magic is her being. Her presence is the portal. 

Upright: Spiritual sovereignty, feminine mastery, moving beyond duality, embodied transformation. You are no longer playing with magic—you are the magic. Release the old rituals. Live the living spell of truth. 

Reversed: Clinging to old power structures, identity through rebellion, sacred role mistaken for persona. Examine where you might still be casting instead of becoming. Power without presence fractures. Ego shatterings trying to divide and conquer. Transactional relationships, wealth and objects seen as one's own charisma, hard work keeping it all together (earth bound) or expanding (sky bound).
