Rating Sabrina on its Witchy Accuracy || Satanic Witches? The Cunning? The Green Man?

[@ScarletRavenswood]

What's your favorite witchy tv show/movie? 🍿Share below in the comments!

[@Tralaladudette]

Not sure if it counts, but I adored Penny Dreadful!

[@dustinshepherd7061]

I love the movie " The Craft" would be really awesome to see you review that and other shows. 😃

[@ScarletRavenswood]

@@dustinshepherd7061 I would love to review The Craft! It's one of my favorite witchy movies and that movie is one of the things that inspired me to research witchcraft when I was a young teen.

[@choedzin]

One of my favorite witchy series (without satanic distortions) is Netflix' "Luna nera", although it may not be available in the States. I also kind of liked the somewhat novel take on Nimue and fairies in the Arthurian precursor series "Cursed" (also on Netflix, at least here in Germany).

[@ScarletRavenswood]

@@choedzin I haven't seen those shows yet, I'll have to check them out! :)

[@heatherbrooks2400]

I like how the show progressed into the coven moving from Satan to Hecate. I used to read the old Archie and Sabrina comics. I love this show.

[@agenttheater5]

Hecate's much cooler than Satan anyhow. I would have liked to have seen more members of the coven find out that their "Dark Lord' or "God" was actually a self-obsessed narcissistic liar with a god complex who's also a promise breaker and a sore loser who actually never protected them from anything and was actually planning to enslave them along with the mortals they considered to be "weak sheep" compared to them (which makes it kind of ironic, all that flak thrown at Sabrina for being half mortal when actually the devil never saw them as being any different, he just gave them powers so they'd worship him to feed his own ego) and to actually see them come to terms with the loss of their beliefs and religion, though I did like how quickly they conformed to Hecate - the whole coven seemed a lot calmer and more in control after they started to worship her.

[@MPeoples239]

Not surprising since satan did try to overthrow his own father, that was a huge red flag​@@agenttheater5

[@jefferyjones5167]

I enjoyed Sabrina for the same reasons that I enjoyed Charmed and Supernatural. They're just really fun!

[@ScarletRavenswood]

Definietly agree :)

[@user-lv4ov5rp6d]

Where can I read about Cunning and its biblical spells?!?

[@DarkArachnid666]

Supernatural kicks ass!!! Dean's my fave character. :D Edit- Forgot to mention, the car is a close 2nd... :p

[@onipot9639]

The scene where they first pray to Hecate made me tear up! The idea that despite the fact that they worshiped other beings and ignored Hecate for so long, she still came for them in their time of need. It was just really movingly done.

[@sneeringimperialist6667]

The show lost me when the satanic witches started fighting the pagan witches. Can't we all just get along?

[@reneeburns9930]

I’d like a part 2 for sure!

[@emilyhudak9264]

Me too!

[@kaitlinlewis2450]

Can you do a Video about Faery Witchcraft? Also have you seen the Trailer for the Winx Fate? Because I think Producers are drawing from Faery Wicca/Witchcraft.

[@ScarletRavenswood]

That's a good idea for a future video :)

[@venus6041]

Yes very interesting topic

[@jeremygudgeon4144]

Yes to a part 2 and other shows too! To be honest I was torn on how to feel about this show and only got part way through the 1st season, maybe I should give it another try and take myself less serious lol

[@ScarletRavenswood]

As long as you don't take it too seriously, it's a fun show :)

[@missmusic734]

I had exactly the same experience! Felt so weird about it for the first 6 or so episodes of season 1, and then once I got past that I started to really enjoy the show. It's one of my absolute favourite witchy shows now :)

[@erykcszminschki7104]

My OCD very much appreciates the color coding of the books in the background. LOL

[@TheWitchChannelOfficial]

I recommend the series "Salem" from 2014 on Netflix. It is loosely based on the historical Salem witch trials.

[@cristinag3157]

I loved that show!

[@khaluwa7676]

Well, I told my friends about the history of the Salem witch trials, they didn't know it was true, to be honest sometimes I dream and think about it happening again.

[@Allie_Rose]

A Discovery of Witches is pretty good. It came from a trilogy of books. There’s some interesting history and even involves alchemy. 🙂

[@Xaforn]

Hmm the Cunning Folk sounds very much like the people living in rural Appalachia where my partner is from; many Christian people live there but it is not uncommon for them to call a herbalist/healer/wise woman a witch, they use scripture and Granny Magic and some families have particular abilities that are passed form generation to generation but stay within the family. My partner’s family has a very special knack with animals, nature, seeing spirits even those who are astral projecting and dowsing.

[@tiffanysmith9739]

Yes I’m from that area. And I was born with the veils open. That’s what we call it. I had a great great or a great great great aunt was almost hung for healing people. And I definitely am practicing I don’t know if people wanna call me who do which I Appalachian which who is a Christian I’ll know but I just live my life I have in my fun

[@Peecamarke]

Hoodoo is also very similar in those regards

[@Ifuddontlikeitwatchsomthinelse]

this would make sense, i was born in tennessee, near johnson county, (early to mid 90s) i never met a medicine woman but i remember people taking about this, wouldnt surprise me i definitely saw plenty of bears, and snakes, and falling rocks, someone with even limited medical knowledge could be extremely valuable in an emergency...especially when it could take a few hours to get to the hospital..

[@Ifuddontlikeitwatchsomthinelse]

as for the witchy stuff, idk but there definitely are christian witches or at least witches who believe in jesus, a lot of early grimoires were written by christian scholars, and a lot of ritualistic magic calls on god and the archangels, i think they might have a certain authority over some entities but not all of them, and only under certain circumstances...hail satan, hail belial

[@kikajencova6989]

I love how you never bash anything but instead are respectful and you try to find the positive aspect of everything ❤️

Thanks! Glad you liked the video :)

[@tomkirma5872]

Super fun video! I would like a part 2!

[@cathypiper9373]

I don’t really ever expect accurate information for a tv show so I really enjoyed the old fashioned time setting and the crazy story lines. It was more Ray Bradbury or Stephen King inspired.They did have tidbits of interesting info though and almost always very stylish .It just never took itself seriously when other shows were often just too serious about their silliness ,which is what made it fun ! Please do a part two. Love to see what you have to say.

[@marie-pascaleroy3208]

Amazing and as a history nerd I appreciate this video may it become a series. Because we need this education

[@the-queenmaleficent7727]

As a traditional witch I had great fun watching this . There were a lot of inaccuracies but some good points of accuracy too. As a lone witch I would love to be part of this if it was real xxxx

[@Grimm_Book]

[@run1148]

Ah yesssss

[@carlosasan2604]

Do a part 2!!! I really liked the video :D

[@paolavazquez581]

I would love a part 2 for sure! I noticed those historical tidbits on the show and I love it, as any show I take it as an entertainment and not a place to learn but I love how the just show witches to be just normal people with daily problems and how the solve them with witchcraft

[@Tralaladudette]

Ok, I haven't finished the video yet (it was posted ~1 min ago, heh!) but my 3 problems that bothered me for awhile in this show were: how the pagans were portrayed (but honestly, it's alright. It didn't bother much much), how Faustus says "Sam-Hane" instead of "Sow-in", and how they called the March full moon the Hare moon instead of the Worm moon! It is set in March and if they went the Worm moon route it could have been so cool! I imagine them going into the ground and ending up in some rotten place... The show was so poorly researched for some things! I think they tried to nail some stuff for 'flex points' and figured they could make up the rest... Surely there are other things they got wrong that I don't know about. And while these things don't ruin the show for me, and likely non-practitioners wouldn't notice, it was still irritating. Also, I wish Salem was more important! You can't win 'em all though lol

[@ScarletRavenswood]

Definitely agree with your points!

[@aradcohen4309]

Salem could not have a bigger role sadly becuse kiernan shipka is allergic to cats

[@idolapidus7802]

It would be SUPER fun if you did this to more tv shows and movies. Great stuff, ty ☺️

[@Alexander-wq7qo]

Great review! There is a lot of stuff you missed though. Mainly this question, who/what principle does Sabrina represent? Look into the symbols she is constantly surrounded by: apples, cats, bright hair, the colors red and blue, flowers, descent into Hell, etc..

[@paranormalidiot]

it makes me so happy the way you started this video with the whole 'its not trying to be historic' some people get so mad that it isnt accurate or truthful to actual witchcraft, Satanism and paganism like it isn't trying to be accurate or it wouldn't be entertaining

I found it interesting when the witches became pagans themselves. It reminded me a lot of what Christianity has done (you know taking a lot of pagan traditions and calling them Christian traditions)

[@hurtspublishing3906]

Right. I'm a electic witch but I noticed that a lot lately

[@sheilasolosthemcu]

Imo pagan pantheons borrowed traditions long before the Abrahamic faiths did, like the Romans and Greeks

[@QWERTYUIOP-wu6ht]

@@sheilasolosthemcu not just borrowed but adapted (but not appropriated). When Egypt became part of Rome the Egyptian gods were honored too. The Romans didn't forbid the Egyptians to stop worshipping their gods and most pagan kingdoms, lands or empires do that unlike in the Abrahamic faiths.

[@sheilasolosthemcu]

@@QWERTYUIOP-wu6ht Unlike pagan religions, Abrahamic faiths require their followers to convert the masses into their faiths, so you can’t really blame their followers unless vile things are being done.

i'd like a part 2🖤

[@choedzin]

I too quite enjoyed watching Sabrina - as a sort of "guilty pleasure" - and I agree with your 2/10 - 7/10 ratings. So I would be all for a Part 2, if you care to make it. I also liked that you more or less confirmed my impression that the "witches" are actually more like satanists than true witches. But as you say, it's lots of fun. I also found the atmosphere - lighting and such - as well as the ugliness of the demons rather impressive.

[@amandafazio3662]

A part 2 would be nice......more in depth with the story and history of Satanic Witches if you can

[@hurtspublishing3906]

I'm glad you said it. Cause as a witch I see a lot of things on this show that got me hehehe hehehe hehehe hehe. I be like that's not how that works or that not how you do it. And some spell make take a week or longer to manifest

[@themindflayerst_]

I also find Sabrina fun to watch especially the two Aunts lol but when they portrayed the pagans, talked about Lupercalia (or I think it was that) or talk about pagan gods as demons I couldn't help but be insulted and then had to laugh when they started worshiping the Hecate and performed pagan festivals XD Can't wait to watch the new season.

[@satterfield96]

[@aradcohen4309]

Actully they made a mistake about Hekate they said that Hekate is the Goddess Of Witches but technicly she is the Goddess Of Witchcraft

[@benjalucian1515]

And isn't Hecate a Titan? She's not a goddess.

[@benjalucian1515]

@Kim Boom Joong - guess it depends on what version of the story you read. According to Theoi "[Hekate] was the only child of the Titans Perses and Asteria from whom she received her power over heaven, earth, and sea."

[@agenttheater5]

6:32 What I couldn't get was how come most of the lead pagans seemed to be greek (Pan, Circe, the gorgon) when they sacrificed a virgin to the green man they seemed to be speaking a Celtic language. Plus, I know that there is an Ancient Greece to Ancient Greece and that their religion and gods changed over the years, but I still can't find any evidence of the Green Man being worshipped in Greece.

I’m surprised you did not include the Goetia in this historical account. Solomon had 72 demons he called upon and this definitely has a place in history... maybe not in traditional witchcraft, but definitely in the occult practises.

7/10

[@Peecamarke]

You know with the Cunning, they could also be referencing "Hoodoo" 🤔 which was practiced by African Americans in the southern U.S and combined elements of Voudun and christianity, specifically the Bible and was practiced by a lot of Baptist and involves seers and predication

I agree about it being weird that they started worshipping Hecate. I'm also a little annoyed that they didn't explain how Hecate and Lilith are Both the first witch. That doesn't make any sense. Seems like Hecate was an afterthought.

[@hurtspublishing3906]

Exactly. I'm like if anybody know lilith story. They would know that she is the first witch and first woman. She became the queen of demons when she refused to return to the garden and that how we got eve. Lilith was the first feminist.

[@MelpyMelperson]

@@hurtspublishing3906 Well, they call her the first witch in the show so it makes sense to stick with that. She can be called different things, but I always refer to the myth where she was the first succubus (demon) who gave birth to the Incubus who then sired the first witches with mortal women. I thought they were gonna explain something similar to that.

[@AmyandBaby]

In traditional witchcraft like some of the books by Gemma Gary and robin artisson. The devil is very much a central archetype as the “witch father” however the devil in traditional witchcraft isn’t really the same at the Christian satan but still represented by a goat like horned figure.

[@DarkArachnid666]

I lnow it's a bit of a stretch, but... I've yet to see someone give a "witchy" review to the Dragonball series (starting from the "Dragonball Z" [The original Dragonball is a different type of show altogether.]). Given the fact that it consists of a universe (actually, multiverse) filled with many powerful gods and goddesses along with frequent talk about the importance of the balance of light and dark, I figured that you might want to take a look. And, even if you don't find anything worthwhile to talk about, it's still a pretty good show. :)

[@thewanderingspirit9209]

you know actually there are books like the grimorium verum and mesopotamian books that have a lot to do with i guess satanic witchcraft but it was kinda just kept on the DL and it wasnt really considered "satanic" nor was it considered "witchcraft" yet

[@mypantsarefilledwithbeans6508]

The Grimorium Verum actually falls under abrahamic witchcraft. While it does summon demons, it also includes prayers to God, and uses God’s holy names as tools to conjure said demons.all the blessings are done to God and Jesus It’s part of Solomonic magic, which states that by invoking Christian and Jewish figures, one can summon and control demons, like King Solomon.

[@sidmelancholy1586]

do you still do the cosmic keys podcast?

[@benjalucian1515]

I loved this show. 🥰🥰🥰 Yes, they were not totally accurate or historically correct, and it had very distasteful issues (infanticide and cannibalism were shockers), but the atmosphere, set decoration, costumes, episodes and acting were awesome. The cancellation left not only the main character's fate up in the air, it dropped several other storylines and left poor Salem woefully underused. But what I liked most about the show is the way they pushed the boundaries of Americans' support of freedom of religion. While obviously criminal acts like murder and cannibalism, extortion and torture were simply fiction, it was very uncomfortable to hear them constantly referring to Satan, hell and demons and invoking Lucifer and his blessing at every turn. I liked how if you continued to watch this show, this became less of an issue. For myself, after a while, I didn't even blink anymore and it wasn't beyond the pale. This is what normalizing does. People can get used to anything. 😀😊
