@raye Ah, like many others, I totally forgot about Tumblr, lol, but yeah, I believe it. I was on there for a kink community briefly ages ago, before all the rule changes and ads made everyone leave, and the art and photos were very diverse.
@Cat_LeFey I recommend you drop by Tumblr during Inktober, I feel the witch portraiture really peaks that month.

Like, maybe a dude in a cowboy hat: "Blessed Be, y'all."
Or a fat bald person doing a ritual circle casting in their tiny urban apartment.
Or like, anything where the witch doesn't have white or green skin.Our community is full of extremely diverse artists, I feel like we have the power to change the landscape a bit here.

@Cat_LeFey Graves of Hustle Cat. Also thin and white, but a goth man with shorter hair and in a cat café.
Generally I'm barely aware of the specific words for magic users and I dislike the idea of "men are wizards, women are witches" unless dealt with by Pratchett or Le Guin. So I think of ones matching your descriptions, but I don't remember if they are called witches.

@Cat_LeFey my understanding of the word implies a female figure for sure, but in my experience there have been many colors of witches.

(I'm not pagan personally but think it's pretty cool, and probably would be if I weren't too atheist to have any idea how to get into it, hah)

This reminds me of a post I have seen today elsewhere about Black witches in TV shows and movies.And here is a whole book series where not all of the witches are white and female:

The Witches of Portland
A city in peril, fallen prey to the forces of corruption. A coven of witches, each battling their own personal demons. Can they save their city…and even find love?

@Cat_LeFey I absolutely love things akin to urban witches. Have you heard of Tactical Breach Wizards? It's on a biiit of a similar wavelength that has some killer witch/wizard designs
