Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West is the most famous witch of all time. The hat makes the witch, to paraphrase Mark Twain. I doubt most Wiccans would agree with that, but experts aren’t sure exactly when pointed hats became associated with sorcery. That’s largely because history is full of pointy hats. Almost every culture in history wore pointy hats for one reason or another, from Chinese mummies, to dunce caps, to modern day smurfs. There are simply too many varieties of pointy hats to describe. No matter what the fashion, pointed hats were frowned upon by the Church in the 15th century, which associated points with the horns of the devil. There are old stories of witches in medieval England being forced to don crowns shaped like church steeples. The caps were supposedly meant to draw down God’s grace in a last-ditch effort to redeem the wearers. The style soon became a target for Anti-Semitism. It wasn’t until the 1710s and 1720s that children’s chapbooks in England began illustrating supernatural tales with crones in peaked hats. Fueled by the popularity of these “penny merriments,” the stereotype caught on quickly. The peaked hat holds special significance for some Wiccans, who see it as a visual representation of the Cone of Power they draw on for their spells.
