The sexual connotations connected with witches or si- rens has been a part of history for centuries but this overt sexual physical portrayal is very much a present phenom- enon. The representations of the witch as sexy or hag-like are two sides of the same coin, metaphors for the two things society, both then and now, fears most in women – sexual liberation and ageing.
