Thank you to Mistress Harper for continuing the train check out her post here!
Halloween, Locktober, October—hands down, it’s my favorite time of the year! Halloween allows people to dress up and disguise themselves, often revealing hidden desires. Between the movies and candy, it’s all about controlled chaos. Each year, as we don kinky, sexy, or cute costumes, certain femdom archetypes consistently come to mind. It’s always a treat to see or transform on the one night that femdom goes mainstream. What will you be dressing up as this year?
The Goddess.
She embodies command, control, and unyielding power. Much like the goddesses Kali, Persephone, or Hel, she is often depicted as representing both the light and dark aspects of the divine. The Goddess always stands above the mortal realm, which is why she will use you for her pleasure, why you will worship her, and why your degradation may simply be for her amusement. Her style is authoritarian, demanding nothing less than the absolute best.
The Nurse.
“I brought you into this world; I can take you out.” The Nurse is often maternal, caring, and attentive, smothering you with what she knows is best. Nurses are not only a common stereotype but are frequently considered one of the sexiest professions for women, according to men (ughh). She holds your metaphorical “balls” in her hand, ready to caress or squeeze as she sees fit. We see figures like Nurse Ratched or Hot Lips in media, representing the spectrum from demented to nymph, with you as the patient under her orders. This archetype often switches between her caring and stern sides, offering a healthy dose of emotional support, no matter how naughty you are.
The Witch.
You’ve undoubtedly met a witch. Charming, seductive, the quintessential femme fatale who always gets what—or who—she wants, regardless of the chaos that follows. She understands you better than you understand yourself, charming you into giving her everything she desires. My favorite representation of the witch is Circe, who seduces Odysseus and turns his men into pigs because she has no further use for them, demanding all of her target’s attention. She can make you laugh, charm you, and doesn’t adhere to society’s moral or immoral gauges as long as she achieves her goals. She recognizes your desires and fears, using them to her advantage. Her style is to entice, charm, and manipulate you to get what she wants.
The Devil.
She drains you and revels in it. While she seduces similarly to the witch, she tends to be more psychological and sadistic in her approach and what she enjoys. She is unafraid of the dark side, of pleasure and pain, and using them invigorates her. She heightens your senses, making every feeling more intense than the last on the journey she has laid out for you. The best part of her game is that it’s meticulously calculated to give her the ultimate reward: you. She leaves you vulnerable, raw, and always wanting more, all while feeling incredibly subtle.
Candy or control. Kink or treat. Each of these costumes traces its roots back to pagan history, forming the basis of All Hallows’ Eve, and continues to find its place within the mainstream. The power dynamics for some are so strong that you even find socio-political correlations, such as the vampire versus zombie in mass media. Every mistress is dynamic in their play, and while archetypes help give a sense of what to expect, communication is key. Donning a costume, mask, or disguise, I do not doubt that you will look great this Halloween, just as all the amazing Mistresses here have. Can you guess any of my costume ideas for the year? (Hint: it is one of the above.)
I wonder what we will be seeing from Mistress Krista as you Continue on the blog train for more kink or treat.

This is giving me so many great ideas for my Halloween costume! Thanks for providing inspiration in such a fun, informative, kinky way.
Oh Meshelle, let me know which costume you go for!
think I will go out as cleopatra this year
Mmm the goddess Raven. Love it, and a classic. Have you seen the 1945 Caesar and Cleopatra? It’s such a regal look.
Ohhh, this is fascinating. I’m sitting here trying to decide which of the four I mainly see in myself, and . . . I’m not sure! Can I be some of each one depending on my mood? If not, and if pushed, I think I’d lean toward the Nurse archetype. *ponders*
Sascha, I think we can all resonate with different ones, and the way that we embody them is all so different. More than one archetype resonating with you means you are multifaceted!
Ms. Blair- it’s fascinating how all the archetypes are tied back to Pagan times in one way or another. I have to say, though, no matter which form we at the Enchantrix Empire take, we are all Goddesses! I wonder if our callers are taking advantage of the holiday to be femme.
Thank you, Ms. Stephanie. I hope that each femme persona can show up in each of us and our callers. Hope I inspired a few to find a costume that they can resonate with.
So many fun and sexy costume choices for anyone to wear. Happy Halloween.
Happy Halloween Andi! I don’t think I have had a chance to peek at your costume yet? Looking forward to it!
MxBlair, loving your break down of the different archetypes! In a way, the celebration of these taboo personas is really such a big part of Halloween, isn’t it?
Audrey, while taboo, it allows so much freedom from the societal structure we are “supposed” to maintain.
Oh, this is so cool as a reference. I have two faves, though. Of course, the Goddess and the witch 🙂
Great piece, Mistress Blair.
Thank you, Mistress Gigi, I can see it in you! There are of course, witch goddesses too- Hecate etc. Hopefully, will inspire some newer costumes too beyond these!
Me thinking I’m The Goddess – but in reality I’m probably The Witch lol. I love this explanation of female archetypes, especially because they are all POWERFUL figures. The feminine supremacy continues!
Lol, Miss Charlotte, we are all multifaceted when it comes to getting what we deserve! The Power reigns far beyond Halloween!
Loved it Blair your concise depictions of each costume / character was spot on and very enjoyable to read! Great job!
Thank You Krista, any that resonate with you on or off the list?
Oh! I Want to see some Guys in every one of these costumes and I wnat to wear each a different day as Well! Thank You MX Blair!
That is the beauty of Halloween! Bianca, I want to see some guys embody the divine feminine power in these costumes too! Fingers crossed!
Ohhhh Ms. Blair…what an interesting post this is! 🙂 I truly loved learning more about these Femdom Archetypes. And you’re right…one can get a sense of what to expect. But, like you said, communication is key. And for sure it is…always IMO!
And as I read a bit of the witch…”She recognizes your desires and fears, using them to her advantage. Her style is to entice, charm, and manipulate you to get what she wants.” I wonder how many of the ladies clearly see themselves in these words?!? I for one have to say, I do! 🙂
Goddess Mandy, thank you! I feel that far too many can recognize themselves and choose not to act on it. I am glad you do!
What a teasingly good blog Ms Blair! These sexy teases of what someone could be if they dress up in a feminine persona are delicious!
You ask what you would dress up as? I’m tossing another archetype in there. Femdom Mistress, don’t we all possess some of the characteristics of all of, above?
Humm, what a great discussion, tell us what YOU think!
Mistress Ericka, we all do have traits of each! One of my many costumes this year is the devil. What will you be kink or treating in?
🔥 Oh wow, this one was absolutely divine! Each persona felt powerful, seductive, and mesmerizing — especially the Goddess and the Witch. ✨ I loved how you tied their energy to “kink or treat,” blending myth and desire so beautifully. Such a deliciously commanding read! 💋👑
Thank you, Mistress Laurel! Dressing up and embodying any costume can be kinky and a treat 😉Will you be taking on a costume this Halloween?
Oh such sexy costume ideas! I like to revisit some of the more ‘traditional’ costumes – there are so many directions you can go as a witch!
The Scarlet Mistress, without a doubt. Each costume may be more traditional, but you could tip the scales one way or the other based on how you would dress it up.
I love these! What about a Queen archetype? That would probably be in line with the Goddess one — maybe more of a ‘ruler’ so control, discipline, could be a benevolent ruler: kind, sensual, generous … or the evil Queen (which might be more in line with the Devil archetype from your list.)
Did you pick your costume yet?
Oh yeah, there are so many more! The divine feminine energy in the queen should not be discounted. One of my costumes will be the devil. Any peeks at your costume this year?
I knew we would see costumes and you didn’t disappoint Ms Blair! Now this has me thinking about a couple fun options for a party or two myself this year. I would love to know your costume, I am torn between a Goddess and a Witch for you lol. But you could be any lol
Thank you Ms Kay Marie. I would love to know what costume(s) you have in store. I’ll be dressed as the devil, but I might add in the witch too!
I think I’m a mixture of all these arch types depending on the sub but Witch and Goddess definitely fits me the best! What you said about the Goddess is spot on to why I prfer the honorific Goddess Luna.
Goddess Luna, I can see you as any but Goddess is such a good fit as your honorific. I’ve only heard great things about your sessions. Like the archetype you only deserve the best.
I think all of us ladies at LDW fall under the Goddess category! I love this post Ms Blair!
Goddess Madison, we do! I know my sessions fall into different archetypes, but at the end of the day, each represents the power dynamics we all have in us.
I think this year I’ll be a succubus, because a sexy demonic being that loves to entrap men and snare them by their… desires is soooo me. I love using their needs against them, and tricking them into Situations.
I just loved this! VERY creative and informative 😉
I’m always partial to a costume that leans more whimsical because I love glitter and shimmers. Last year, I went as a fairy princess. I LOVE the idea of dressing as a personification of my true form, the Goddess Veronica, of course.
I don’t get recognized very often when I go out without the horns and tail, but the adventure is still always fun. LOL!! Seriously, though, I think I will be Cruella this year. Now, I just need some volunteer dalmatians for my coat!!
Awesome post, Mx Blair!! I love that you highlighted FemDom archetypes and reaffirmed how powerful the divine feminine truly is.
I really love the Goddess archetype (shocker, I know!) with a balanced mix of the Witch and the Devil. 😈
I can’t wait to hear what your choice(s) are!
I love this post Ms. Blair. I’d have to say I’m a Devil and a Goddess– & it’s Sooooo much fun to play on both the Angelic & Profane sides of the Divine
Female Archetype costumes are fantastic!! I have been I think most of these throughout the years. My favorite is probably The Witch is my favorite. You can be naughty or nice and do so much with it. FUn post!!
The devil sounds like a true succubus who I wouldn’t want to cross. Or would I?😈😍🖤
If only I could meet all of them !
I can’t decide which is my favorite costume – the Goddess or the Witch. Maybe I can be a combination of both. Authoritarian, charming, and manipulative sounds good to me! 😺
Great costume recommendations! I love the Dark Feminine in all it iterations. I may be a demon this year- maybe Lilith herself?
Great costume choices. The nurse is one of my favorites. And definitely agree with what Madison said about the LDW Goddesses.
Truth be told, there aren’t many Trick-or-Treaters in My neighborhood, and My friends have fallen off the Halloween parties that used to be de rigeur amongst My friend group since COVID. So I don’t have much opportunity to wear costumes anymore.
Your post makes Me regret that, Ms. Blair!
That said, I think I’d pick The Goddess. Some may say “naturally”, since that’s how I sign off on My E’mails!
