Stories of witches have terrified people for thousands of years. The 20th and 21st centuries brought with them a new perspective on this long-feared community. Perhaps one of the most significant reasons for this mass breakthrough can be attributed to L. Frank Baum’s character, Glinda, the good witch, in his novel from 1900's, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.”
From big screen to small screen, scary to silly, below is a collection of a few of my favorite witches through the years.
Enjoy!

I'm surprised you left off "The Craft" considering how much you like that soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteFor my money, I'll take the humor, tenacity, and stubbornness of Witch Hazel over all other spell casters. (perhaps she's fueled by "spirits" of a different kind?)
