In recent years, society has witnessed a significant transformation in the portrayal of witches, wizards and the practice of magic in the media. Historically depicted as evil figures – mostly women, practicing sinister magic – these characters are now being reimagined in ways that challenge traditional stereotypes.
Modern narratives have shifted away from the “crone archetype” to present younger, more relatable characters with complex inner lives. This evolution reflects broader cultural changes and has contributed to the rise of movements like “WitchTok,” a category-turned-subculture on TikTok where users share occult practices, tarot readings and spiritual insights.
