  • Sabrina Spellman, In Each Iteration a Badass Witch

  • Charmed as a Love Child of The Craft and Practical Magic

    For today’s post, I have decided to share my thoughts about how Charmed is related to both The Craft and Practical Magic.   I have heard that many fans of The Craft feel a need to disparage Charmed as a series due to the similarities in content. In truth, while I see the connections that…
