Top 16 Books About Wicca Updated 04 /2024

I just finished reading The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. While I loved the show and quickly watched all 10 episodes, there was something that didn't feel right to me. And it looks like I'm not the only one. There has been a lot of debate about Sabrina, Salem, the Aunties, and Ambrose.

It bothered me that Paganism and Wiccanism were shown in this Netflix show (and, I think, the comic book as well) in such a bad way. People think witches and Pagans worship Satan, but they don't. They've been fighting this idea for a long time. People see a pentagram and think it's the work of the devil, which makes them think of demons and hell.

Is it good when shows and books about witches in Greendale focus on how much they love the Dark Lord? No, it doesn't help. Many Pagans and Wiccans I know don't like the Church of Night's connection to witch characters, so I asked them for reading suggestions about the history and art of Paganism and Wiccanism. While Sabrina's Greendale is a fun and scary place to live, it doesn't hurt to learn about other religions as an antidote to having wrong ideas about them.

That this isn't a bad thing to say about any of these things or even about Satanism itself. This is just a chance for us to learn a little more about two ancient religions that have helped shape many of the traditions and rituals we do today. Happy reading, everyone!
