SPOILER
I'm surprised some think the ending ruined the ambiguity of the film since it didn't for me.
The more I think about the film the more I believe the daughter was either unhinged or a witch in making.
The witch in the woods was her alter-ego.
Main reasons would be...
She was in the woods alone with the baby that disappeared.
She saw her brother lusting after her before his seduction scene.
She was the sole survivor who either lost her mind or became THE WITCH.
Having just said this I'm not convinced the Witch in the woods didn't exist.
I read that the baby ritual, at the beginning, was an accurate depiction for a flying spell.
This beautifully ties in the ending.
I personally don't want this film any more ambiguous.
