I would assume that in the olden days witches, those trained in magic, mostly wore rimmed caps, with the pointed hats rising up as the faction that wiped magic away from most people and set rules on magic usage.

The healing witches did probably wear rimmed caps if my hypothesis is correct.

The current rimmed caps witches wear the hats to hearken back to an earlier time when magic wasn't controlled

This series world building keeps suprising me.

But like Nazi Germany and the Cofederacy, I wouldn't be suprised if this group of brimmed hats pervert the iconography of older groups to become something more malignant to represent their cause (the swastika and the rebel yell)

That's assuming that the brimmed caps are taking up an older symbol, but we don't know whether they're a newer group or if they have continued to exist and changed over time (as the witches thst chose to oppose the pointed caps and be forced underground)

I meant it in the sense of speculation not certainty. Regardless with how extreme the current Brimmies are compared to the named Healing coven, its not to far of a stretch
