1. Patti Smith

Why?: For being a creative genius, a radical thinker, and always standing out, Patti would surely have been scorned by society as a witch. I mean, no one can work words like that without being a little bit magic.

Witchiest song: "Ghost Dance".

Witchiest moment: Every time she reads Virginia Woolf live.

Witch rating: 🔮🔮 out of

how appropriate! i just started reading Witches, Midwives and Nurses today. sometimes the 'witches' crime was just helping the poor and they still were burned.

I'm just beginning to get into First Aid Kit and they're so amazingly atmospheric.

I have no clue why BANKS isn't on this list. I also feel MS MR's Dark Doo Wop has a very haunting feel:

First Aid Kit’s has this live Spotify performance version of their song “Emmylou” and it’s gorgeous. And I went through a phase where their song “It’s A Shame” was the only song I’d listen to all day
