Why is the statue of liberty holding a book and torch?
The torch is being held because it was originally suppose to be a light house and the torch was the light that immigrants would see if entering the country by boat at night. The bulbs that they had placed in it though weren't bright enough to actually work as a light house so the torch was redesigned 4 different times. The Book in her left hand isn't actually a book but a tablet that reads July 4, 1776.

Is lady liberty a witch?
No. Lady Liberty (aka The Statue of Liberty) was stylized after the Pagan Goddess Libertas (latin for Liberty), the Roman Goddess of personification and liberty. About The Statue: The Statue of Liberty was donated to the United States of America in 1886 by the people of France. It stands on a small uninhabited Island in the New York harbor, called Liberty Island (formerly Bedloe's Island). Sculptor Frederic Bartholdi was commissioned to design a sculpture with the year 1876 in mind for completion, to commemorate the centennial of the American Declaration of Independence. The Statue was a joint effort between America and France and it was agreed upon that the American people were to build the pedestal, and the French people were responsible for the Statue and its assembly in the United States. The statue was not completed in 1876, however, due to lack of funds from both the French and the Americans. The official dedication ceremonies were held on Thursday, October 28, 1886. The inner iron pylon skelatal structure of the statue was designed by Alexandre Gustave Eiffel (designer of the Eiffel Tower.) The actual "body" or or "skin" of the statue is made from a copper alloy. The Pedistal is made from granite. The height of the Statue from her heel to the top of her head is 111 feet, 6 inches. The total overall height from the base of the pedestal foundation to the tip of the torch is 305 feet, 6 inches. The total weight of the Statue of Liberty is 225 tons (or 450,000 pounds.) The tablet held in her left hand is inscribed with the date JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (which translates to July 4, 1776, [i.e. "independence day."]) There are seven rays on her crown, one for each of the seven continents. At the feet of the Statue lie broken shackles, symbolizing the release of oppression and tyranny from the British Monarchy. The original torch was replaced, because despite repeated efforts, the torch failed as a lighthouse, and the holes allowed water to enter the statue and caused rusting and damage. The original torch is now on display in the museum, and has been replaced with a solid torch covered in gold. Additional information: Due to the terrorist attacks of 9-11, The Crown of the statue (a popular tourist and visitor attraction) was closed for a few years (due to the fact that the statue of Liberty is a National Monument, and one of the major iconic symbols of the U.S.), and has reopened recently. The monument was considered a "possible" threat for future terrorist attacks. About The Goddess: During the Second Punic War, having long been a Roman deity along with other personified virtues, Libertas assumed goddess status. Tiberius Gracchus (a Major in the Roman army) ordered the construction of her first temple on Aventine Hill (The Aventine Hill is one of the seven hills on which ancient Rome was built.) In 46 B.C.E. the Roman Senate voted to build and dedicate a shrine to Libertas in recognition of Julius Caesar, but no temple was built; instead, a small statue of the goddess stood in the Roman Forum.
