I found the scene in which Celestina prepares this potion for the thread to not represent her lack of confidence but rather express how she relishes in the joy and theatrics of her profession. She immerses herself in the euphoria of the tricks and the mystical auras, which she herself implores into her work with a devilish grin of pleasure.
It contributes to the overall occult image she strives to uphold and preserve amongst the town’s people. Along with bringing joy and shrouding her work in the occult it uplifts her spirits and opens the stage for her apparent over-confidence at this point. Celestina utilizes her mystical presence to propel her work and drench it in a curious tone.
Despite my opinions on the importance of this potion we do eventually see Celestina’s spirits decline into an apparent uncertainty. This insecurity surprised me, for all the old whore’s theatrics and bragging she was finally human again. It shows in her inner thoughts, and our first look inward into Celestina.
Finally this tricky crone takes landing and her inflated head touches ground, as she realizes the dire consequences of her possible failure. I find it simply surprising; I never thought she would ever doubt her abilities. To me, this display simply finally brings the mystical Celestina to the level of human; before she screamed the role of a superhuman figure, yet now she expresses an array of human-oriented weakness.
