The magical world of witches has captivated audiences for generations, but how accurately does Hollywood portray the reality of witchcraft? 

Remember the cackling hag from Snow White or the Wicked Witch of the West? These early portrayals established witches as figures to be feared and reviled. Fast forward to Bewitched's Samantha Stevens, who used her nose-twitching powers while living as a suburban housewife, marking a significant shift toward more sympathetic representations. Modern shows like The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Agatha All Along have further transformed witches into powerful, fashionable icons that viewers aspire to emulate.

While Hollywood focuses on spectacular magical powers and dramatic spellcasting, real witchcraft centers on knowledge, wisdom, and religious devotion. Surprisingly, the most accurate portrayal might be the seemingly boring "The Good Witch," precisely because it depicts a witch using intuition and wisdom rather than flashy magic. 

This disconnect between media representation and reality creates unrealistic expectations. What's needed isn't less magic in media but more acknowledgment of the religious context in which these practices exist.
