En la psicología profunda junguiana, el arquetipo de la bruja es una representación común de una mujer, usualmente anciana y que vive sola, que practica magia oscura y otros tipos de brujería. Las brujas suelen considerarse una amenaza peligrosa y acechante. La forma en que se ve el arquetipo de la bruja depende típicamente del contexto religioso y político, así como del contexto social y su política de género. Jean La Fontaine escribió que "el estereotipo del mal no parece haber estado estrechamente conectado a las acciones de personas reales excepto cuando se movilizó contra los enemigos actuales de la Iglesia."

This is especially important when they are reading, preaching and interpreting messages and doctrines contained in their holy books.”
“Although the most acute judges of the witches and even the witches themselves, were convinced of the guilt of witchery, the guilt nevertheless was non-existent. It is thus with all guilt.”
“The result is the same whether she confesses or not. If she confesses, her guilt is clear; she is executed. All recantation is in vain. If she does not confess, the torture is repeated—twice, thrice, four times. In exceptional crimes, the torture is not limited in duration, severity, or frequency.”
“In the past, men created witches: now they create mental patients.”
