Origin of the pointy hat: There were three female mummies uncovered in the Chinese region of Subeshi who were know as the Witches of Subeshi. They were famous for wearing a large funnel shaped contraption of black felt. These funnel contraptions are what we now call pointy hats.

Origin of Witches flying on broomsticks: After straddling a greased up hallucinogenic broomstick, people felt like they were flying on the broomstick. This morphed into the thing about witches actually being able to fly on broomsticks.

Any other origins of facts about witches you want me to uncover?

I've found the types of witchcraft. Would you like each type to get their own chapter with in depth explanations or would you like one chapter with all the basic explanations? Or would you like both?

Would you like to see a chapter in which I describe some of the scariest witches from myths around the world?
