Here’s The 2019 Best Witches of Pop Culture [Glamberween]

Ghouls, goblins, and things that go bump in the night are just some of the creatures that are known to lurk during Halloween, but there is one stand out “creature” that has become one of the greatest symbols of the spookiest night of the year. The witch!

Back in 2016 as part of my Glamberween celebration, I shared my top ten witches of pop culture and as things change some remain the same. They cast spells, they wear black, and they have taken over pop culture for centuries. No matter what type of witch you prefer: The Salem witches who practice mystical chants, the ones that brew around cauldrons, the ones that fly on brooms, or the ones that simply look like you and me, there’s a witch for every occasion and since we’re about to leave this decade behind I think it’s time to update the top witches of pop culture for GGB.

Melisandre
Whether you want to call her the Red Priestess or the Red Woman, denying Melisandre’s magic powers through her faith would be a grave mistake. She has her flaws, or evil side I should say as most witches do, but let’s not forget the major role she played in not only bringing back one of the finest men in Game of Thrones history, Jon Snow, but how she played a pivotal role in The Long Night. For that alone she’s a witch that goes down in pop culture history.

Lynn and Kelly Farmer
The cutest littest witches around are Lynn and Kelly from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s 1993 film “Double Double Toil and Trouble.” Most witches experience a time where they haven’t tapped into their powers and this is the case here. Lynn and Kelly come from a lineage of magic but yet can’t explain the “freaky” things that happen to them until the truth is discovered. Together the girls work their magic to save Aunt Sophia. I have the greatest memories of this film.

Grand High Witch
I can’t even lie, I loved to hate this film. It was terrifying to see well put together women turn into hideous creatures on top of that wanting to turn children into mice. As an adult, I can appreciate the humor in the 1990 film starring Anjelica Huston as the Grand High Witch.

Ursula
I admit it in the past she’s been a nasty, but this sea witch might be on to something. “The Little Mermaid” iconic “Poor Unfortunate Souls” by Ursula doesn’t tell no lies. To get something you have to give a little something. It’s not her fault that people didn’t read the fine print. Ursula is not mentioned a lot in the witch conversation, but Glambergirlblog has got her back.

The Sanderson Sisters
Honestly what’s Halloween if you don’t watch “Hocus Pocus” about ten times, reciting all the lines, and singing “I Put A Spell On You” at the top of your lungs. Sistahs! Winifred (Bette Midler), Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker), and Mary (Kathy Najimy) are forever pop culture goddesses from the slayage they put on-screen.

Sabrina Spellman
Not all witches are evil with malicious intentions, some are teenage girls discovering their powers for the first time and just trying to have some fun. Re-watching all seven seasons of Sabrina the Teenage Witch thanks to Amazon Prime recently I was reminded how hilarious that show was. From trying to solve the family secret, getting her witches license, and finding her soul mate; Melissa Joan Hart was the perfect Sabrina and the added characters like Salem, Aunt Hilda and Zelda, and Harvey made the series that much greater.

American Horror Story: Coven
These witches are so great I can’t just pick one. The ladies of Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies of AHS: Coven will always go on any list I mention about witches. It’s no secret that Coven is my favorite season of American Horror Story and it may be in part because it is magic based, but it has some of the most memorable moments and lines in AHS history. Oh and the themed score for the season. Love it.
