Love Potion | |
| The Love Witch / int_14a8974a | comment |
Love Potion: Elaine drugs Wayne with one. However, it doesn't work, causing him to hallucinate and grow clingy before dying. It was later revealed to mostly contain jimson weed (devil's weed), which both causes hallucinations and is also highly toxic. | |

Godiva Hair: Elaine wears a long wig over her natural hair (which doesn't reach down this far) that manages to cover her nipples while she's topless (mostly-they do show once briefly). Another female Wiccan also has this with her long hair once. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: Elaine drugs Wayne with a Love Potion. At first it makes him hallucinate and makes him more susceptible to Elaine's seductions, but then it causes him to become overly-emotional and clingy, crying out for Elaine and having horrible nightmares throughout the night before dying. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| The Love Witch / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Elaine's name could be a nod to Elaine of Astolat, known in some versions of her story to have used a love potion on her unrequited love, sir Lancelot du Lac; Elaine in the movie is wont to use love potions. The name "Elaine" itself is also a variant of Helen, like Helen of Troy, also known as the World's Most Beautiful Woman which, you know, kind of fits. | |

Elaine herself is symbolized by black and white. She's an Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette and is usually dressed in all-black to compliment her hair. When she buries Wayne, she burns her rainbow-colored coat as an offering.

Have You Tried Not Being a Monster? | |
| The Love Witch / int_b25104bd | comment |
Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?: Witches have always been marginalized for being different and not fitting in, and Elaine is seen as weird and different for both her witchcraft practice and her femininity. There are also a number of allusions to witchcraft being similar to being gay, with people remarking on how it used to be heavily punished by the Christian Church, that it's still viewed with suspicion but no grounds to mistreat someone, and that there are a lot of open practitioners in San Francisco. | |

She's an Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette and is usually dressed in all-black to compliment her hair. When she buries Wayne, she burns her rainbow-colored coat as an offering.

Animal Motifs: Besides Elaine's cat that died, we see her lock eyes with a deer, and we see an owl hoot on a branch during a Wiccan ceremony. | |

Hollywood Satanism | |
| The Love Witch / int_e390612a | comment |
Hollywood Satanism: Professor King's definition of witches, claiming "Black Witches" are the ones who commit human sacrifice for demonic powers while "White Witches" are more associated with nature worship. | |

Witch Classic: The witchcraft and the witches that practice them evoke themes of Neo-Paganism. | |

Bright Is Not Good | |
| The Love Witch / int_ece07747 | comment |
Bright Is Not Good: The film is shot in extremely vibrant colors, especially Elaine's belongings and her New Age shops and parties. Elaine is also implied to be a sociopath who probably murdered her husband, and who shows very little remorse when one of her lovers dies from her Love Potion. | |

Fanservice Extra | |
| The Love Witch / int_f6c3d469 | comment |
Fanservice Extra: The Wiccans are often naked while conducting ceremonies, which includes some good-looking men and women (not all though). A stripper also performs her show in the background while Elaine is speaking with two of her fellow Wiccans in the club, which the camera frequently moves to focus on. | |

Love Makes You Crazy | |
| The Love Witch / int_f96f8980 | comment |
Love Makes You Crazy: Elaine's mission to find her true love results in a few deaths that implicate the neopagan community in town. The Love Potion Elaine gives Wayne brings on nightmarish hallucinations and causes him to become clingy and overwhelmed with hallucinations before he dies the next day. Richard becomes overwhelmed with desire for Elaine, so overcome that he breaks it off with Trish and eventually commits suicide. | |

Brick Joke: Elaine says that most men have never even seen a used tampon. Later, when two (male) detectives happen upon a witch bottle containing a used tampon, one remarks "What the Hell is that?". | |
