What famous witch are you based on your zodiac sign?

In the Major Arcana of the tarot, the sign of Taurus is represented by the high hat and magic hands of the Hierophant card. The word translates to “one who reveals the sacred,” and the fixed earth of Taurus, at their dirt magic best, operates as a conduit and a chord between the immaterial and material, the known and the unknown.

We see this card in its feminine form in artist, occultist, witch, and absolute Taurus Majorie Cameron, known professionally as Cameron.

Born under the sign of the bull on April 23, 1922, Cameron would find fame (and catch an obscenity charge) for her pen and ink work “Peyote Vision.”

Featuring an image of a woman — bare-breasted, back arched, serpent tongue extended, getting it on with a shadow demon — the 1955 piece was, of course, inspired by Cameron’s own transcendent experience. After the legal debacle (and like a true, stubborn AF Taurus), Cameron vowed never to show her work again.

Taurus is built to endure and enjoy. In-kind, Cameron outlived two husbands, and, according to “Vice,” in her later years, she “devoted herself to practicing Tai Chi, smoking pot, spending time with her loved ones and … making art, of course.”

BLESS IT.

Honorable mention for Taurus witchery goes to French sorceress and master of poison La Voisin. Selling to royalty, killing by consumables, and getting rich hawking love spells, La Voisin embodies the velvet underbelly of Venus.

Tituba

Ruled by the silver tongue, sly wink and spinning yarn of Mercury, Gemini is the sign of the liminal. Tituba, an accused witch, star witness, and enduringly mysterious figure, embodies the “story as sorcery” power of mutable air.

An enslaved woman, Tituba was among the first people to be accused of witchcraft in Salem in 1692, and her testimony was by far the wildest and most wildly entertaining, complete with blood oaths, red cats, winged women, and the devil in a black jacket.

“She introduced a full, malevolent cast, their animal accomplices, and various superpowers,” Smithsonian Magazine reports. “A sort of satanic Scheherazade, she was masterful and gloriously persuasive … More than anyone else, she propelled America’s infamous witch hunt forward, supplying its imagery and determining its shape.”

Masterful and gloriously persuasive? Giving shape to hysteria and imagery to the unimaginable? Living Gemini Jean-Paul Sartre’s theory “Hell is other people” and being cunning enough to escape that hell alive?

A Gemini icon if ever there was one.

Baba Yaga

“Baba Yaga represents everything that is both beautiful and monstrous about divine motherhood,” Budenz reveals. “Sometimes depicted as a fearsome ogre, sometimes as a helpful guide to young, questing lads, Baba Yaga lives in a hut that stomps around the forest on chicken legs, and in addition to making a lavish stew, she will probably ruin you if you’re a bad houseguest.

“Is there anything more Cancerian than that?

“Ruled by the moon and the archetype of the mother, like Baba Yaga, the average Cancer is most likely to want to invite you to their hyper-curated home, serve you some bizarre food, and, as long as you’re a good guest, send you on your merry way more enriched than you were before.

“The vibes might be weird and vaguely threatening at times, but Baba Yaga’s hut feels strangely like home. Unless you piss her off — in which case she will almost certainly eat you.”

Winfred Sanderson

With a shock of iconic hair and the crippling thorn of vanity wedged deep in her proverbial paw, “Hocus Pocus” witch Winifred Sanderson is mane-shaking, ring-leading Leo energy incarnate.

Leo rules the fifth house of creativity, carnivals, and the inner child. In-kind, Winnie is ever trying to keep herself young.

Image-obsessed, the eldest Sanderson sister takes to vaping the souls of innocent children to preserve her youth.

Leos are prone to pageantry and fed most fully by a spotlight. Apropos of this, Winnie has serious stage presence and is the clear leader of this family band, galvanizing the adult population of Salem to dance themselves to death through a spellbinding karaoke performance.

Marie Laveau

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of the mind and the mouth and, apropos of this, most of what we know about Marie Laveau exists more in story than fact.

The product of an oral tradition that braids hearsay, mythos, and intrigue, Marie Laveau, like many a Virgo, is remembered for her innate ability to organize, heal, advise, protect, and, most of all, to help. We know that Laveau was born Sept. 10, 1801, under the stars of Virgo and the rich soil of mutable earth.

Virgo rules the sixth house of service and daily rituals, and it’s believed Laveau ran a beauty shop in the fair city of New Orleans. Cutting hair and collecting gossip, much of her magic was derived from listening and delivering, the two power tenants of Virgos.

Virgo is a sign related to temple worship and purification rites; coincidentally, Laveau was both a Voodoo practitioner and a devout Catholic, recognizing that both realms offered an avenue to aid and intercession.

After all, what is a spell if not a prayer? What is a prayer, if not a spell?

Glinda, the Good Witch of the North

Materializing into being and into the cultural consciousness out of an incandescent bubble, emerging in a ball gown in broad daylight with a high-pitched question of good and evil, Glinda is an apex Libra.

Ruled by Venus, planet of love, beauty, and the holy pursuit of aesthetics, Libras often conflate attractiveness with decency — and Glinda is no exception.

“Only bad witches are ugly,” she imparts before grave robbing a deceased witch and re-gifting her shoes to the gobsmacked Dorothy. Glossing over difficult truths with cheap charm and a metric ton of tulle? A chorus of minions at the ready and a popularity contest in the bag? Something subversive under all that sugar and spice?

It all adds up to a whole lotta Libra, folks.

Honorable mention goes to IRL Libra Alister Crowley.

Born Oct. 12, 1875, Crowley was a true bon vivant. Deeply dedicated to decadence, he used charm, sex magic, a stage name, and a family inheritance to earn himself acolytes, lovers, and a delicious reputation as the “wickedest man in the world.”

Like many a Libra before him, he died penniless and infamous.

Astrology 101: Your guide to the star

Nancy Downs, ‘The Craft,’ 1996

Has there ever been a more gloriously stereotypical Scorpio brought to the screen than Fairuza Balk as Nancy Downs in 1996’s “The Craft?”

Power-hungry, prone to extremes, and a champion at uncomfortable eye contact, Nancy exhibits some of the darker expressions of the Scorpio archetype.

Scorpio rules the eighth house of sex, death, and other people’s money — themes present in Nancy’s preference for funerary aesthetics, citing betrayal as an offense punishable by death, using magic to seduce and then murder a would-be rapist, killing her step-dad with the sheer, kinetic force of her rage; living off and moving up courtesy of said dead dad’s life insurance policy; using snakes as avatars, and gliding across the floor in pointed black boots with athame in hand and vengeance on her brow. /

Pure, fixed, underbelly underworld water power, my friends — and beautiful to behold.
