Ah, I see. Yeah, well she's definitely a pagan and a gypsy, and the chocolate is magical (debatably), but it's sort of... Left open as to whether she is a witch or not, and, if so, what "type" of witch she may be...
Which I suppose is part of the point of the whole thing.
In my understanding, having not sat through the whole thing previously, she belongs to some matrilineal tradition of single gypsy mothers who go to a village, change it into... Well, hedonist central, have a daughter with someone, and then, basically, disappear and go and fuck up the next town, when the "magic north wind" calls them.
It's all very wishy-washy, but basically... You get the idea. "Magic feminist liberalism".
