I personally think that these two specific words that she used showed the audience her point of view and how she felt when the incident of the miscarriage occurred. She used the term "witch" because the very second she gave birth she felt as if she had a great power since she introduced a new human being into the world. She also used the term "black magic" because when she had the baby that was truly alive in her own hands was definitely the most surreal and unearthly event that she could've experienced. For example she says "There is no adventure I would trade them for; there is no place I would rather have seen."(108)
I agree because normally when I would see clips of witches, they would be doing something like conjuring up a wraith or stirring a bubbly liquid in order to create something. The author used witches to show how much power she thought she had in her hands. She was giving birth to a baby and she thought that was power.
