Witch hand signs, also known as witch hand gestures or witch hand signals, refer to specific hand movements and positions that are used in various pagan and witchcraft traditions. These hand signs hold symbolic meanings and are believed to have specific powers and energies associated with them. The use of hand signs in witchcraft can be traced back to ancient times and is deeply rooted in pagan and magical practices. Traditionally, these hand signs are used to invoke and direct specific energies or forces during rituals and spellcasting. One common hand sign used in witchcraft is the "Horned Hand" or the "Sign of the Horns." This hand gesture involves raising the pinky and index fingers while tucking the middle and ring fingers down with the thumb holding them in place.

mudra, (“seal,” “mark,” or “gesture”), in Buddhism and Hinduism, a symbolic gesture of the hands and fingers used either in ceremonies and dance or in sculpture and painting. Mudras used in ceremony and dance tend to be numerous, complicated, and often esoteric (the hasta-mudrās of Hindu classical dance can express about 500 different meanings, involving not only the hands and fingers but also the wrists, elbows, and shoulders, all in movement). Mudras in sculpture and other visual arts, being necessarily immobile, are relatively restricted in number.

In ceremonies, especially in Buddhism, a mudra acts as a kind of visual “seal,” affirming a mystical or magical vow or utterance, such as a supplication to ward off evil. A mudra often accompanies the spiritual utterance known as the mantra (q.v.).

Sculptural and other pictorial renderings of the Buddha show him in four basic postures—reclining, standing, walking, and sitting. The two most traditional seated postures are the vīrāsana posture (the right leg bent and positioned over the left leg) and the vajrāsana posture (the legs tightly crossed so that the soles of both feet are visible, the feet sometimes resting on the opposing thighs). Different mudras, or hand gestures, may appear in any of the postures. (The accompanying figure illustrates some of the major mudras.) Although pictorial mudras are used most commonly in portraying the Buddha, they can also appear in representations of lesser personages. The añjali (“reverence”) mudra, for example, which has the suppliant or worshiper joining his two hands before him, palm to palm, slightly cupped, in a gesture of respectful adoration (comparable to the Western gesture of prayer), would appear only in representations of deities or persons other than the Buddha; it would never be shown for the Buddha.

The hundreds of mudras of Hindu and other related Asian dances are described in technical manuals, but, in practice, performers usually limit their gestures or “phrases” (sequences of mudras) to those familiar and meaningful to their audiences. The selection may differ from region to region.

Witchonary

The Clopper: An old witch believed to be the last of her particular kind. She haunts the open square of the Theater, chasing children who dare cross it. Every kid in Benevento knows the clop clop clop of her one wooden clog!

Demons: Wily magical creatures who live among humans disguised as animals. In Benevento, 1 in 7 cats are demons, unless they are black, in which case it’s 2 out of 3. Dogs, on the other hand, are never demons. Goats almost always are.

Evil Eye: A curse given by non-witch folk. It can be deflected by looking away, giving the horns, and spitting.

Ghosts: Spirits of those who die before their time. They must be taken care of by the descendants, in whose homes they dwell. (Also called Ancestor Spirits)

Goblins: Animal-like creatures whom Janara keep as pets.

The Horns: A hand gesture made by extending the index and pinkie fingers from an otherwise closed fist. By pointing the horns toward the ground, one is protected from curses such as the Evil Eye and all manner of bad spirits. It is more powerful when accompanied by spitting.

Janara: (Juh-NAHR-uh) Certain men and women can transform themselves into this type of witch by rubbing a magic oil into their armpits and saying a spell. This done, they fly off to the Tree to start a night of mischiefs. Janara belong to a secret society, and don’t dare reveal their secret identities to anyone!

Manalonga: (Man-uh-LONG-uh) The most feared of all witches. They lurk under bridges or inside wells and try to snatch children for unknown (but surely sinister) purposes.

Mares: A type of goblin who sits on children’s chests at night, causing bad dreams.

Mischiefs: Tricks played by Janara on non-magical folk, usually farmers.

Smorfio: (ZMORF-ee-oh) The witch of dreams. The dreams he weaves are puzzles; if solved, they can bring all sorts of good fortune, especially at the lottery.

Spirits: Witches who have no earthly bodies and live in one particular place, be it a house, chimney, stream, or arch. Types of spirits include ghosts, house fairies, and water sprites.

The Tree of the Janara: A walnut tree on the banks of the Sabato River. It is around this tree that Janara gather before going off on a night of mischiefs. It is said that they are accompanied there by goblins and demons, but no one knows!

Witch hand signs

In my book Tarot Magic I demonstrate how it is possible to do ritual magic with nothing other than a pack of tarot cards. But what if you don't have tarot cards? What if you don’t have anything to work with at all? Can you still do ritual magic? Yes, you can, because you still have your mind and your body. No one can take that away from you as long as you remain yourself. If you were trapped on a deserted island or thrown into a prison or lost in the woods, you would still have all you need to work what I have called kinesic magic—the magic of the mind and body.

Kinesis is a Greek word meaning "movement" or "motion." Kinesics is the study of the use of body movements and gestures to communicate information. Hence, kinesic magic is the magic of gestures and postures.

When dealing with occult energies, two things are required. We must be able to manifest those energies, and we must be able to manipulate them. That is to say, we must be able to call them forth, and also apply them to accomplish what we want them to do.

In conventional Western magic, occult forces are represented by physical materials. Elemental Air, for example, is made manifest by using an actual feather to express its nature, or a rising column of incense smoke. These physical representations of Air provide a focus for the imagination and the will.

In a more abstract way, we can represent such forces using symbols to express their natures. The usual symbol of Air in magic is an upright triangle with a line through it, which derives from alchemy. An alternative symbol is the blue circle, from the Hindu set of elemental symbols known as the tattwa (or tattva). In Golden Dawn magic, the four lower elements are symbolically represented by ritual objects that are based on the suit symbols of the tarot—a rod for Fire, a cup for Water, a dagger for Air, a disk for Earth.

Once we have embodied an occult force in some way, we must apply it to the work we wish to accomplish with it. In conventional magic this is done through the ritual fulfilment of our purpose using various consecrated instruments and objects, such as the wand, the sword, the altar, the sash, the ring, the magic circle. We enact a kind of drama with these or other tools that expresses what we intend to accomplish, and in this way direct the evoked energies to fulfill our purpose.

But what happens if you have nothing to represent the forces you wish to call forth, and no ritual instruments with which to direct those forces? Can you still do magic? That was the question in my mind that formed the seed of my latest book Kinesic Magic. I asked myself, "Can magic be worked without anything at all? Can a person stripped naked and locked in a dark cell with no furniture still do magic?" The answer is yes—provided that person has prepared mind and body beforehand.

As I demonstrate in my book, it is possible to define and embody the essential occult forces by means of hand gestures. There are 24 fundamental energies used in Western magic, which are the forces of the five philosophic elements, the seven planets of traditional astrology, and the twelve signs of the zodiac. Each is given its own distinct hand gesture. Collectively they represent the basic vocabulary of kinesic magic.

The forces manifested by these hand gestures are directed with the use of body postures, which guide the flow of occult energies the way a network of pipes guides the flow of water. In Kinesic Magic 24 distinct postures are described. These represent the grammar of this new system of magic, and by uniting them in various sets and sequences, together with the hand gestures, it is possible to enact the fulfillment of virtually any ritual purpose using no other materials, furniture, instruments, robes, or tools of any kind. The energies are particularized by the hand gestures, and they are applied to their purpose with the body postures.

Writing this book took me over two years. Each gesture, each posture, had to be experimented with and fully tested, not only individually but in combination with other gestures and postures. The system of kinesic magic did not spring from my mind fully formed the way Athena sprang from the forehead of Zeus—it was a long and at times painful process of organic growth during which many possibilities were tried and discarded, and many pathways followed that led to dead ends. During this time I was guided by spiritual intelligences that informed my mind and enabled me to choose rightly. Without their guidance this system of magic would never have been perfected.

Foremost in my consideration was the need for a system that was both simple and flexible. It needed to be adaptable enough for almost any ritual purpose, yet not involve complex esoteric studies such as the tarot or the Kabbalah. That is why I chose to limit it to the 24 basic occult energies of Western magic. All of the ideas in the human mind can be expressed using this many letters, when they are linked together into words and sentences. The Greek alphabet has 24 letters, the Hebrew 22, the modern English alphabet 26. Yet with so few individual parts all of human learning can be set down in books or expressed in spoken words.

Another prime consideration was that the system must be practical. To this end, eighty practice workings are included in the book, each a ritual in its own right, along with numerous meditations. These exercises are designed to give hands-on experience and to demonstrate the scope and flexibility of kinesic magic as a system for building your own personal rituals.

As far as possible I have avoided the use of hand gestures that have distinct meanings in our culture. By this I mean such gestures as the "OK" sign, the "peace" gesture of the Hippie Generation, the Vulcan salute, the gesture known as the "bird" that involves the middle finger, and so on. I did not wish the conventional meanings of gestures to conflict with their magical meanings.

In designing the postures, I endeavored to avoid any that might be difficult for the average person to assume and hold for a number of minutes. This system of magic is intended for everyone of any age, weight, or level of fitness, not only for contortionists. I sometimes think of it as the "yoga of Western magic," but it has this difference from the hatha yoga of India—it is not difficult. Anyone can adopt all 24 of the postures without prior training.

The design of the postures was guided by some very basic principles. In general terms, when we wish to call down energies from the heavens during rituals, we instinctively reach up our hands to receive them. When we want to focus energies into a person or an object, we point at that person or object. When we wish to banish an energy, we point toward the ground. Blocking, retaining, or binding energy is done by crossing the arms or legs. To project force we throw our fingertips forward and step forward, but to ward off force we raise our hands with the flattened palms turned to the front and we take a step back.

The left side of the body is receptive, the right side is projective. We receive energy into the body from the left, and send it out from the body on the right. Of course we can receive or project from either side, but these are the natural occult tendencies. Reception in general is done by opening the arms wide as if to embrace. The balanced focus of prayer or meditation is accomplished by bringing the palms together. Raising the gaze above the line of the horizon inclines the mind toward supernal or spiritual matters, whereas lower the gaze below the horizon shifts the attention to material or infernal matters; a gaze directed at the horizon balances the mind.

The 24 fundamental occult energies not only act in the greater world of the macrocosm, but also affect the microcosm of the human body. The four lower elements define the four humours of traditional European medicine that determine the general physical health and emotional disposition. The seven planets are associated with the seven energy centers of the body aligned along the spine, which are known as chakras. The influences of the twelve zodiac signs have been assigned from ancient times to twelve zones of the body, from Aries in the head to Pisces in the feet.

Because of these links, kinesic magic lends itself not only to the manipulation of occult energies in the greater world around us, but to balancing and strengthening the energy levels of the body and mind—both our own bodies, and the bodies of others who may seek us out for our healing abilities. Manipulating energy flows in the human body is a natural function of the esoteric healer. For this kind of work, kinesic magic is superior to all other occult systems.

The main focus of my book is on what are known as the blind forces of magic—the occult energies that may be observed in Nature and within ourselves. They are called "blind forces" because they are not self-aware. They are neither good nor evil in themselves, but are like electricity, which may be used for both good or evil purposes, depending on the intention of the user.

Since Kinesic Magic is the introductory text to this new system of Western magic, it made sense to focus it on the basic forces, such as the energies of the elements, which are known as the workhorses of magic. However, the methods of kinesic magic are easily applied to the manipulation and control of spirits during both invocation and evocation. Spirits may be scryed by the scrying posture, evoked by the manifesting posture, bound by the binding posture, commanded by the commanding posture, warded by the warding posture, and banished by the banishing posture. Kinesic magic is not limited to blind forces, but is a complete system of magic.

If Kinesic Magic is well received, I will of course publish additional texts, which have already been written, elaborating and expanding on various aspects of its use in spirit communication and spirit manifestation. Those familiar with my use of the banners of Tetragrammaton and the spirits I have named the Wings of the Wind, as set forth in my books Tetragrammaton (Llewellyn, 1995) and The Power of the Word (Llewellyn, 2004) will be interested to know that kinesic magic can be fully integrated with Tetragrammaton magic.

In closing, let me design for you a simple kinesic magic meditation that you can use every day at the same hour to balance your mind and body, and to awaken spiritual awareness. This exercise is original and exists nowhere else—I composed it for this article. There is not space enough here to fully explain and justify the postures involved, but they are so simple that you should be able to form them well enough for the purposes of this meditation.

Meditation: The Sun, the Moon, and the Silver Star
Stand facing the east with your feet about four inches apart and your hands open at your sides. Look forward at the infinitely distant horizon that lies beyond the walls of the building that surrounds you. This is the Standing Posture.

Close your right hand into a fist with the thumb on the outside of the fingers—this is the hand gesture of the Sun.

Flatten your left hand with the fingers together and curve your palm slightly—this is the hand gesture of the Moon.

Widen your stance to about twelve inches and raise both your arms above your head so that they form a V-shape. At the same time, tilt your face up and gaze upward at an angle, but not so far upward that you strain your neck or your eyes. This is the Invoking Posture.

Visualize the yellow disk of the Sun above your right hand, and the purple crescent of the Moon above your left hand.

Using your imagination and the power of your will, draw the disk of the Sun down until it surrounds your right hand. Feel its warmth and dryness. Now draw the crescent of the Moon down so that it covers your left hand, and feel its coolness and moisture.

When you have strongly visualized the Sun around your right hand and the Moon around your left hand, slowly lower your arms and bring your hands together in front of your chest, at the level of your heart. Cup your flattened left hand around your right fist to unite the Moon with the Sun. This is a modified form of the Balancing Posture.

Visualize the yellow Sun and purple Moon unite and transform into a blazing star that is pure white in color. Flatten your right hand and spread the fingers wide. This is the hand gesture of Mercury. Make the same gesture with your left hand and press your two palms together with your wide-spread fingers touching. Visualize the white star between your palms.

Bring your feet together so that they touch, and as you do so, raise your united hands until that they are about six inches directly above the crown of your head. Roll your eyes to look slightly upward while keeping your head level. This is a modified form of the Macrocosm Posture.

Widen your stance so that once again your feet are separated by about twelve inches, and as you do so, separate your flattened hands while turning your palms upward at an angle until the heels of your hands are about twelve inches apart from each other above your head. Imagine that you are releasing the silver-white star of Mercury upward in the same way your would release a white dove. This is the Loosing Posture.

Close the gap between your feet until they are around four inches apart and lower your arms to press your palms together in front of your chest with the fingers together and pointing upward. Gaze over your fingertips at a slight downward angle. This is the Prayer Posture.

Visualize the blazing white star, child of the united Sun and Moon, shining down its cooling, soothing radiance upon the top of your head at it floats above you. Let this balanced radiance sink down through your entire body, and feel its pleasant coolness even down to the soles of your feet. Hold this visualization for a minute or so.

Bring your feet together so that they touch and close your hands into fists. As you do so, cross your right wrist over your left wrist in front of your chest. Face straight ahead, but gently close your eyes. This is the Closing Posture.

Visualize the blazing white star rise upward through the roof of the building you are in with ever increasing speed until you lose sight of it in the starry heavens.

Open your eyes, open your hands, lower your arms to your sides as you separate your feet by about four inches. Gaze at the infinitely distant horizon that lies beyond the walls or other obstructions in front of you. The is the Standing Posture.

Take a slow, deep breath, release it slowly and silently, and go about your normal day.

Witch hand signs

This article will look at the hand gestures and protective devices associated with evil magic powers in the Wheel of Time world.

Many societies believe that some people have the ability to inflict death, disease or destruction by a glance; that they have the ‘evil eye’. This belief is strongest in the countries around the Mediterranean, but is also found elsewhere, such as in Scotland and Ireland.

The evil eye is regarded as a natural, inborn power, unlike witchcraft or sorcery, but there are divergent traditions as to whether it is under the control of its possessor. Sometimes it is spoken of as a force deliberately projected in a spirit of envious malice; sometimes, as something automatic and unconscious…

In Icelandic sagas there are several mentions of wizards or witches whose glance could blunt weapons, drive men mad, cause any living creature to drop dead, and make the land turn over, so that nothing ever grew there again. Before killing such a wizard, it was necessary to put a bag over his head to guard against the power of his dying glance. As these literary sources are concerned with heroism, possessors of the evil eye are then defeated in combat, not thwarted with amulets.

- Carl Lindahl, John McNamara and John Lindow (eds), Medieval Folklore

Jordan has woven such beliefs about magic and the evil eye into the Wheel of Time world in a few ways.

The channellers themselves can and do inflict death and destruction provided they can see to make their weaves. Like the differing opinions on those with the evil eye, channellers may have the inborn spark, which manifests without control and can cause unintended destruction, or they may have needed to be taught how to use their powers. Much of the populace regards all channelling as negative or potentially so, sometimes with good reason.

Another deadly gaze that features in the books is that of those evil channellers who use the True Power from the Dark One, undetectable by anyone else. Prolonged use of the True Power results in the saa, black flecks that cross the eyes and the field of vision, and ultimately, flames in place of the eyes (and mouth), surely an example of the evil eye.

A ‘minor’ manifestation of something like the evil eye would be the eyeless gaze of a Myrddraal, which causes many people to freeze in fear. Furthermore, some, such as Masema and his followers, regard the yellow-eyed gaze of a Wolfbrother as a manifestation of evil.

Magical evil in the Wheel of Time world can be countered by the weaves of benign channellers, or by jewellery defense system ter’angreal (equivalent to amulets, see below and in the Jewellery section of the Ter'angreal and Allied Items article), and according to the Seanchan, by certain gestures.

Gestures

In the real world:

certain gestures were thought to ward off evil, notably making ‘horns’ by extending the index and little fingers, the rest being folded; making ‘the fig’, a sexual gesture, by thrusting the thumb between clenched fingers; and (in some countries) extending the hand palm outward. Small metal or bone hands making these gestures were worn as pendants, as were red or silver ‘Neapolitan horns’.

- Carl Lindahl, John McNamara and John Lindow (eds), Medieval Folklore

Such protective objects are amulets. Similar items occur in the series (see below).

The gesture of extended hand with palm outward does not occur in the series (except possibly in The Shadow Rising, Beyond the Stone, when Rand made his odd bow with “left foot advanced, left hand on knee, right hand outstretched palm upward” while requesting to enter Rhuidean), but the horns and fig gestures do occur.

The horns hand gesture, with index and little finger extended and thumb and other two fingers folded, is believed by some to ward off evil. The gesture may be an imitation of a goat’s head, which is commonly associated with the devil. Indeed, some Satanists use this gesture as a representation of Satan (i.e. a symbol of evil rather than protection from evil). The horns gesture is used by neopagans as a sign of the Horned God (Cerunnos, Herne the Hunter, Pan) and as a means of identifying fellow adherents. The counterpart of the horns gesture is the fig sign, see below.

(The gesture may also be a sexual insult in some countries, suggesting to a man that his wife is unfaithful.)

Tuon and Seleucia make the corna sign to ward off bad luck:

She made one of those odd gestures for warding off evil, folding under the middle two fingers and extending the other two stiffly. Selucia did the same.

- Knife of Dreams, A Hell in Maderin

Did the gesture successfully counter Mat’s unlucky action of putting his hat on the table? They were attacked by Darkfriends outside the inn at Maderin but killed all their foes.

The contrasting meanings of the horns gesture in the real world is consistent with the linking of magic and evil in the Wheel of Time world. The attitude of most people to channelling is that such power is regarded as potentially corrupting, if not actually evil. The destruction the Shadow are unleashing with their use of evil magic and the horrors of the Last Battle are likely to reinforce this view.

Crescent of Thumb and Forefinger Gesture

Another gesture used by the Seanchan to ward off any evil or perceived magical threat is made by forming an arc with thumb and forefinger, the others curled tightly (Knife of Dreams, A Manufactory). Faloun, Tylee and Mishima make it:

Tylee's hand seemed frozen in that odd gesture, thumb and forefinger forming a crescent.

- Knife of Dreams, As If the World Were Fog

It may be accompanied by the words “Avert the Shadow”. Tylee and Mishima made this gesture in response to the Dark One’s touches on the Pattern, but also when being near an Aes Sedai and when Perrin said he was prepared to be Healed with the Power.

This gesture is a neopagan one. It represents the crescent moon and invokes the Goddess. Interestingly, both the Mother Goddess and the Horned God (invoked by the horns sign, see above) were revered by the Celts and are linked to the health of the Land and thus to the extensive Arthurian themes of the Wheel of Time series (see Arthurian Myth essay).

There is another sign that is also associated with averting evil in the real world: the fig.

The fig sign is a gesture made with the fingers clenched into a fist with the thumb thrust between the middle and index fingers, or, rarely, the middle and ring fingers, partly poking out.

In ancient times this gesture was a fertility and good luck charm designed to ward off evil. However, in some countries of the modern world the gesture is seen as representing the female genitalia and is a great insult meaning ‘screw you/no way!’

(The gesture is also used in a trick played by adults on young children: the adult grabs at the child's nose and forms the fig sign, exclaiming, "I've got your nose!" The partially visible thumb is supposed to be the child's removed nose.)

The fig sign is also used by neopagans as a symbol of the mother goddess and as a means of identifying one another. Its counterpart is the corna sign (see above).

A very similar gesture is used by the Black Ajah to identify each other:

The woman held her hands at her sides, but with thumbs thrust hard between the first two fingers.

- Lord of Chaos, To Heal Again

Like neopagans, the Black Ajah use the sign to identify each other. In the case of the Black Ajah at least, it is made very circumspectly and may vary slightly so that it appears to be in context with the situation and does not arouse suspicions. By making the Black Ajah signal so similar to the fig sign, Jordan has provided an explanation for the disgust and outrage the formerly positive fig gesture often now arouses, and also for the use of the gesture among neopagans.

Not only hand gestures, but also certain objects were also believed to protect against the evil eye.

Amulets or talismans are objects that are or were believed to have magic powers to protect their wearers from misfortune, witchcraft or disease, or to bring good fortune.

Similar objects occur in the Wheel of Time series: the protective jewellery ter’angreal. These may be a single item such as Mat’s medallion, or a whole jewellery defense system, such as Nynaeve’s and Cadsuane’s ornaments. We have seen these ter’angreal keep their wearers alive and well against a variety of evil magical attacks (see Jewellery section of the Ter'angreal and Allied Items article) while others have been injured or killed. The wearers are fortunate indeed to own such protective articles. These ter’angreal may be Jordan’s ‘reverse-engineered’ explanation of the origin of belief in amulets.

Written by Linda, September, 2006

" This hand gesture involves raising the pinky and index fingers while tucking the middle and ring fingers down with the thumb holding them in place. This sign is believed to represent the horns of a deity, often associated with the horned god of nature and fertility. It is commonly used to invoke protection and to connect with the primal energies of the earth.

Another well-known hand sign used in witchcraft is the "Warding Hand" or the "Sign of the Witch." This gesture involves extending the index finger and the pinky finger while folding the middle and ring fingers towards the palm. It symbolizes protection and the ability to ward off negative energies and spirits. It is often used in rituals and spellcasting to create a protective barrier or to banish unwanted energies. The "Spiral Hand" is another significant hand sign in witchcraft. It is created by extending the thumb and pinky finger outward while curling the remaining fingers into a loose fist. This gesture represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth and is commonly used for divination and connecting with the spiritual realm. It is believed to enhance psychic abilities and intuition. Witch hand signs are not limited to these examples and can vary across different witchcraft traditions and individuals. Each hand sign holds its own unique symbolism and significance, and the intention behind the gesture can also influence its energetic impact. It is important to note that the use of hand signs in witchcraft is subjective and dependent on personal beliefs and practices. While some witches may find hand signs to be an integral part of their practice, others may choose to focus on other aspects of magic. It is ultimately up to the individual practitioner to determine if and how they incorporate hand signs into their rituals and spellwork..

Reviews for "The Spiritual Significance of Witch Hand Signs"

1. John - 2 stars - I found "Witch hand signs" to be quite underwhelming. The concept seemed interesting, but the execution fell flat. The characters lacked depth and development, making it hard to care about their plight. The story was also predictable, and I found myself disengaged halfway through. Overall, the book failed to live up to its potential and left me feeling disappointed.

2. Emily - 1 star - "Witch hand signs" was a complete waste of time for me. The writing was subpar, filled with grammatical errors and awkward sentence structures. I couldn't connect with any of the characters, as their actions and motivations felt forced and unrealistic. The plot was confusing and convoluted, making it hard to follow along. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-written and engaging story.

3. Sarah - 2 stars - I had high hopes for "Witch hand signs," but it turned out to be a letdown. The pacing was extremely slow, and the plot lacked excitement or suspense. The world-building was also weak, leaving me with more questions than answers. The main character felt one-dimensional and unrelatable, making it hard to invest in her journey. Overall, I found the book to be lacking in several areas and would not recommend it to others.

4. Michael - 3 stars - While "Witch hand signs" wasn't my cup of tea, I can appreciate certain aspects of it. The writing style was decent, with some beautiful descriptions scattered throughout. However, the plot felt disjointed and confusing, making it hard to fully grasp what was happening. The pacing also felt off, with long stretches of nothing happening, followed by rushed and chaotic scenes. Overall, I found the book to be a mixed bag, with some redeeming qualities but ultimately not worth the investment of time.
