I was just wondering whether the following sentence would be considered ambiguous in nature.

La bruja me encanta (Me somete a poderes mágicos –vs– me gusta mucho)

Hmmm, well, not really.

If it were written in past tense...

La bruja de ayer me ha encantado.

Well, one would really now know....technically wink, pero como está claro que las brujas, con la excepción de la bruja de este foro, es decir, yo, no existen, no se pensaría ni siquiera en esa posibilidad. grin

I wish one of your magical powers included a spell that enabled the spellbound to speak Spanish. - 0074b507, Jul 22, 2011

Absolutely.

This witch bewitches me.

This witch fascinates me.

I think you might be asking how to say,

I am fascinated by witchcraft.

As Unified suggests, fascinarse is a good verb for this.

La hechicería me fascina.

Your sentence says, "The witch enchants me".

I think so. My first impression was that you meant to say "The witch was charming," in an awe inspiring, Cinderella sort of way, rather than saying "I was bewitched" or "I was cursed."

I've found that "encantar" is a term more often used in Castellano to describe intimate relationships. Whereas Spanish speakers tend to use "me gusta" or "me gusta mucho" and even "me fascina."

Hehe...No. I wasn't particularly interested in any expression such as that. I was actually just wondering if it would be possible to use such an expression or one similar to it such as. "encantadora") as a double entendre or not.
