Xena the witch is a mysterious and enigmatic character known for her powerful magic and enigmatic nature. While her abilities and knowledge of the mystical arts may capture the imagination, there are also some peculiar aspects to her existence that intrigue those who know of her. One such curiosity is the unique method by which she relieves herself. Unlike most individuals, Xena the witch does not simply utilize traditional means of bodily elimination. Instead, she engages in a practice that is both bizarre and intriguing - she pees magical potions. This peculiar ability sets her apart from the rest, as she harnesses the power of her bodily fluids for magical purposes.
The Witchvox Project, #5: XENA, WARRIOR PRINCESS
I have many fond memories of watching this groundbreaking show with my friends Wren and Fritz. A favorite story we like to tell about the early days of Witchvox is that the URL was very nearly www.xenarules.com! Even after choosing witchvox, Fritz used to say “The ‘X’ stands for ‘xenarules’!”
Without Xena, we’d never have had the badass woman warriors who followed, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This article ended up being just a celebration of all the hottest characters…but hey, with all the serious work Witchvox was doing at the time, watching XENA was a guilty pleasure and a way to unwind!

We at Voice Central love. XENA, Warrior Princess
Who doesn't? Xena is brave, strong, intelligent, beautiful, kind-hearted, resourceful, and equally skilled as a fighter and a healer. And the show gets better and better, with themes that often embrace a pagan, magickal view of the world.
Who is Xena? Quite simply, one of the most interesting, appealing and well-rounded (in more ways than one!) characters on television. In her leather and bronze armor, with her two-handed broadsword, her silver chakram (that cool, circular silver boomerang), and her martial arts-inspired moves, she is bardic poetry in motion, a medieval mistress of melee combat. She was born to be a warrior, but her nobility has inspired her to use her strength and skills to help the less fortunate.
X E N A R U L E S .
Yet Xena is not perfect. In her younger days (so goes the legend), she was bloodthirsty, greedy, vain, power-hungry, and hard-hearted. But the death and loss she saw over the years convinced her that she needed to turn her powers to other purposes. Along the way, she met Gabrielle, her faithful companion. Gabrielle was a slave with a talent for story-telling, who also trained with a band of Amazon warriors. As Xena's partner in crime, Gabrielle wields a wooden quarter staff, which does not shed blood, and stands clear when Xena performs her 20-foot-high flips into the air, her trademark.
As for her adventures, Xena has trafficked with some well-known heroes and villains, including Hercules, Julius Caesar, Helen of Troy, and her evil nemesis, Callisto. Other pagan deities she has encountered include Diana, Hades, and Ares. Though many of the show's episodes deal with serious subject matter, Xena has a sly sense of humor, as accomplished as her other arts. The show's writers cleverly introduce anachronistic elements to keep the show fresh and upbeat, while always retaining that mystical, pre-Roman Empire look and feeling.
We are overjoyed that there is a high-quality television show that deals with pagan themes in a positive way. But there is nearly always a tongue-in-cheek flavor to the show's writing, and it pokes fun as often as it tries to enlighten. The result is great entertainment that is steeped in a pagan worldview, and with some of the best costumes ever seen on television, bar none (if the show doesn't win an Emmy for costume design this year, I will. well, I'll do something).
In "Solstice Carol, " Xena met a fellow named "Sinteclice, " with a white beard and a red suit, who made toys and gave them to children at Winter Solstice; the holiday must be kept secret since it is illegal to celebrate the "Old Ways." In "A Royal Couple of Thieves" Xena meets Autolycus, the King of Thieves, whom she convinces to help her steal a powerful magic weapon. In "Girls Just Want to Have Fun, " which is my favorite episode, by the way, Xena and Gabrielle had to resist the seductive wiles of the undead. And in the recent hilarious "Here she comes. Miss Amphipolus, " Xena took part reluctantly in a beauty pageant for the title of "Miss Known World" and in the process poked fun at a very modern obsession.
As for more spiritual themes, the show has dealt with reincarnation, imprisonment in the Underworld, the three faces of the Goddess (Maiden, Mother and Crone), Amazon funeral rites, and shape-shifting, as well as a vast array of social issues (including homosexuality and alcoholism). Mythology is also a constant element, with episodes featuring Ulysses (in which Xena "out-sings" the Sirens!), Helen of Troy, Aphrodite and Cupid (a la Southern California) and Poseidon (giant god made of water: cool!)
But why do we REALLY watch the show? The pagan themes? The unbelievably-gorgeous costumes? The excellent production values? Yeah, sure, all that, but one other reason, too: Major babe sightings!
Lucy Lawless as Xena is, quite simply, stunning. Tall and graceful, with a strong and shapely body, this is no silicone beach bunny. Lucy's striking pale blue eyes and dazzling smile are worth the price of admission; and then there are her great fighting moves, her husky melodious voice, and her sexy, unique sense of humor which never fails. What's that sighing sound? It's the Central Staff, watching Xena remove her "Dance of the Seven Veils" costume.
Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) is a more recent favorite; her character has grown far more interesting, and there are some provocative, shall we say, physical issues, between her and Xena that are always fun to speculate about. We'd like to see Gabrielle do more storytelling and fighting, less apologizing for not being as cool as Xena (hey, NO ONE can be as cool as Xena, get over yourself, girl!), and maybe wear something sparkly once in a while. Fritz is a Xena man, all the way, but has admitted that Gabrielle gets cuter all the time.
Other total babes include:
Autolychus , the King of Thieves (Bruce Campbell): Good-looking, conceited and witty, but bungling enough to be lovable. Xena thinks he has a good heart, but we have a feeling she won't ever do him. though who can tell? We hope (well, Peg does, anyway!) to see much more of him.
Callisto , Evil Nemesis of Xena: Blonde, slender, mean as a cat drowned in dog pee, Callisto is nothing but trouble, especially when she finds a way to switch bodies with Xena (and she does this with alarming frequency). The character everyone loves to hate. Fritz likes her, for some reason. We'd like to see her put on ten pounds, and maybe switch to green contacts.
Ares, God of War : Dark, handsome, built like a brick Trojan Horse, this guy is too powerful for his own good. He is smart and sexy, a great warrior, but has a short fuse. Wren likes him. It would be neat to see him tangle with Xena minus his super-deity powers.
Velasca , Queen of the Amazons: A gorgeous blue-eyed redhead, but unfortunately evil. She hates Gabrielle for trying to usurp her crown, and turned the Amazons against each other in her quest for power. Smart but snotty, charismatic but megalomaniacal, we expect Xena will make hamburger out of her, one day soon.

This peculiar ability sets her apart from the rest, as she harnesses the power of her bodily fluids for magical purposes. The act of Xena the witch peeing potions is not only a means of personal convenience but also a manifestation of her deep connection with the mystical realm. Through her magical urine, she is able to infuse her potions with incredible potency and imbue them with extraordinary properties.
This unconventional method adds a layer of uniqueness to her magical craft, making her creations all the more captivating. However, Xena's ability to pee potions is not without its challenges. As one can imagine, controlling such an eccentric power requires great skill, discipline, and understanding of the magical arts. A tiny miscalculation or a momentary lapse in concentration can result in unforeseen consequences. Consequently, Xena the witch must remain vigilant and constantly honing her abilities to ensure that her magical potions are accurate, potent, and safe. It is this dedication to her craft and her willingness to embrace the unconventional that makes Xena an enigmatic and captivating figure within the mystical community. While the act of peeing potions may seem peculiar and even comical at first glance, it ultimately underscores Xena's commitment to her craft and the lengths she is willing to go to achieve powerful and awe-inspiring magic. It serves as a reminder that in the world of witchcraft, tradition and norms may be challenged, and new and unconventional practices can arise that captivate our imagination and push the boundaries of what is considered possible..
Reviews for "Xena the Witch: From Spellcasting to Urine Analysis in Modern Witchcraft"
1. Sarah - 1/5 stars
I found "Xena the witch peeing" to be an incredibly distasteful and offensive piece of work. The storyline was unimaginative and lacked any depth. The portrayal of the main character, Xena, as a witch who pees, was just vulgar and unnecessary. The entire concept of the show seemed like a desperate attempt to shock and grab attention, rather than presenting a meaningful and well-crafted story. I would not recommend this show to anyone who values quality entertainment.
2. Michael - 2/5 stars
While I understand that art can sometimes push boundaries and challenge societal norms, "Xena the witch peeing" crossed the line for me. The show seemed to rely solely on shock value, with the entire plot centered around depicting Xena, the witch, in various situations where she would urinate. I found it crude and tasteless, and it did not add any significant value to the story. The lack of character development and meaningful dialogue also contributed to my disappointment in the series. Overall, I was left feeling underwhelmed and questioning why anyone would find this type of content entertaining.
3. Emily - 1/5 stars
I can't even begin to describe how terrible "Xena the witch peeing" was. The concept was utterly absurd and revolting. Watching Xena, who is supposed to be a character with powers and abilities, only urinating throughout the show felt like a complete waste of time. The whole production lacked substance and seemed to rely solely on the shock factor. The writing, acting, and overall execution of this series were abysmal. I would strongly advise avoiding this show if you're looking for anything remotely enjoyable or meaningful.
4. Jason - 1/5 stars
"Xena the witch peeing" is a prime example of how low television has sunk in recent years. The show is nothing more than a tasteless attempt at provocation, lacking any redeeming qualities or purpose. The constant focus on bodily functions, specifically urination, was simply juvenile and not at all amusing. It felt like a desperate ploy for attention, and I cannot fathom why anyone would find this type of content entertaining. Spare yourself the agony and avoid this show at all costs.
