witchy
Like a sorceress
Witchy describes something suggestive of witches or witchcraft—mysterious, magical, or slightly eerie.
It often carries affectionate rather than sinister connotations: She has a witchy vibe with all those crystals and tarot cards.
The word can describe aesthetic choices, personal style, or an intuitive, slightly supernatural quality: witchy décor, a witchy laugh.
