CultureWitches are often shown in pictures and described in stories as ugly old women with black clothes and pointed hats, who are able to fly on broomsticks (= old-fashioned brushes with long handles, used for cleaning floors). In the past, women who were considered to be witches were burnt alive or hanged. In the late 20th century some people began to call themselves witches as part of the New Age interest in ancient beliefs and cultures.Homophones which | witchwhich witch/wɪtʃ//wɪtʃ/- which pronoun
