Connecting with the Elements in Serious G Witchcraft: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water

The term "witch" often conjures up images of evil, conniving women who practice dark magic and cast spells on innocent people. However, there are also those who view witchcraft as a serious and respected spiritual practice. These individuals, known as serious or traditional witches, approach their craft with reverence and dedication. Serious witches adhere to ancient traditions and beliefs, drawing upon centuries-old wisdom and practices. They often work with deities, spirits, and natural forces, seeking guidance and assistance from these sources. For serious witches, witchcraft is not simply a hobby or an interest; it is a way of life and a deeply ingrained spiritual path.

For serious witches, witchcraft is not simply a hobby or an interest; it is a way of life and a deeply ingrained spiritual path. One of the key aspects of serious witchcraft is the emphasis on personal responsibility. Serious witches believe in the concept of karma and the three-fold law, which states that whatever energy they send out into the world, whether positive or negative, will come back to them threefold.

REVIEW: Witch Hunt

Witch Hunt is a 2021 supernatural drama within an alternate modern-day America, where witches are real, witchcraft is illegal and being burnt at the stake by witch hunters is a feared punishment. While the concept is good and had heaps of potential, the poor lacklustre execution does not make for a bewitching watch.

The film opens on a red-headed witch being burnt at the stake in modern-day New England by witch hunters, while her two daughters look on. Three months later we’re in southern California with teenager Claire (Gideon Adlon) and her friends, whose school days involve tormenting suspected witches in their classes and learning about the 11th amendment, which prevents witches from having the same rights as everyone else. The situation with witches is escalating, with more laws and restrictions planned on witches and their families while the federal Bureau of Witchcraft Investigation ruthlessly hunt them down.

For Claire, life is made more difficult as her widowed mother Martha (Elizabeth Mitchell) uses their family home as a safe house for witches that are being smuggled across the border into Mexico, where they’ll be safe. Within hours of one witch being picked up from their home, the family receive two new refugees – Fiona (Abigail Cowen) and Shae (Echo Campbell) – the sisters who saw their mother die back in New England. Unbeknownst to Claire and her mother, the last witch to leave their property along with their smuggler friend was caught and killed by nasty BWI agent Hawthorne (Christian Camargo).

While the BWI tighten their net on the town, Claire befriends Fiona and discovers she may have powers of her own, despite passing the questionable witch tests the government makes all girls take. With the BWI closing in on the family, Martha and Claire must protect their family and fight to stop the young witches from falling into the hands of the federal agents.

Conceptually, the idea to focus on modern day witchcraft is a clever one. There aren’t many who wouldn’t be familiar with the Salem witch trials or the general persecution of witches in our history, so to bring witchcraft to the present day works well. Some of the trials and tests the women have to undergo to prove they’re not witches are particularly unnerving. Sadly though the rest of this concept just doesn’t work. The actual fantasy and witchcraft elements are incredibly dull, even with a few jump scares thrown in, and being paired with rather poor CGI doesn’t help either. The ending and fate of some of the main characters too is confused and unclear. The cast do bring some good performances, with Christian Camargo being particularly menacing as the villain witch hunter and Abigail Cowen brings some much-needed heart to the witches plight. It’s just unfortunate that they can’t carry the entire film.

There’s also the greater meaning and allegory here pertaining to human rights, especially those of women and minority groups. It touches on a lot of topics including prejudice, misogyny, police states and intolerance. The issue is that I don’t think Witch Hunt goes far enough to address all of these intolerances. The witches are predominantly white women who are being subjected to injustice, and it is far too much of a YA take to ever be taken too seriously. There are hints of a more adult and serious tone here, but sadly it’s never given full attention.

Overall Witch Hunt had a promising concept with a good cast, but ultimately this was let down by the lacklustre and confused execution.

Overall Witch Hunt had a promising concept with a good cast, but ultimately this was let down by the lacklustre and confused execution.

This belief underscores the importance of ethical behavior and encourages serious witches to use their powers for the greater good. Another defining characteristic of serious witchcraft is the emphasis on self-discovery and personal growth. Serious witches understand that true magic comes from within and that mastery of the craft requires a deep understanding of oneself. They spend time exploring their own subconscious, addressing personal issues, and working on spiritual development. Serious witches also place a strong emphasis on the natural world. They believe in the interconnectedness of all things and recognize the inherent power and wisdom of nature. They often perform rituals and ceremonies outdoors, connecting with the elements and harnessing their energies. For serious witches, the cycles of the moon and the seasons are of great significance, and they align their practices with these natural rhythms. In summary, serious witchcraft is a spiritual practice characterized by reverence, personal responsibility, self-discovery, and a deep connection with nature. Serious witches approach their craft with seriousness and respect, understanding that it is a lifelong journey of growth and connection. It is important to recognize that serious witchcraft is distinct from the negative stereotypes often associated with witches and to appreciate the rich traditions and beliefs that serious witches bring to the practice of witchcraft..
