From Winifred Sanderson to Glinda the Good, your coven assignment awaits. Of all the spooky figures that have come to represent the sacred season of Halloween, none have managed to infiltrate the pop culture zeitgeist quite like witches. Some representations showcase them as heroes, using their magical abilities to fight off forces of evil, while other variations make them out to be the wicked ones.
Then, of course, there are the more complicated iterations that blur the line between good and bad (and prove to be box office gold). Who can say if, as viewers, we have been changed for the better due to these formidable characters, but as a wise Wiccan once said, because we’ve known them, we have certainly been changed for good. Bottom line: Be they positively good or devilishly wicked, these powerful women have shaped the course of cinematic history.
But which witch are you most like? With All Hallow’s Eve fast approaching, I say it’s high time we collectively take a minute to channel our own inner witches by looking to the stars. Much like witches themselves, astrology is all the rage these days, so why not use the cosmic charts to see which pop culture witch you are most like, based on your zodiac sign?
Are you more of a Winifred Sanderson or a Hermione Granger? Check out the list below to see whose fictional coven you’ll be joining… Full of confidence and courage, Winifred possesses pretty much all of the qualities associated with this fire sign (which is ironic, considering the rocky history witches have with fire). As the eldest Sanderson sister, Winnie doesn’t hesitate to take charge and welcomes any conflict that comes her way, whether it's zombie ex-boyfriends or teenage virgins.
Much like a typical Taurus, Hermione is practical, hardworking, and extremely dependable. Sure, she can also come across as stubborn and a bit of a know-it-all (“it’s levi-O-sa, not levio-SA!”), but let’s be real — Harry and Ron would’ve been killed off in the first book if it hadn’t been for her. She practically carried those two to victory and deserves a medal for all of her patience.
The ability to adapt to any given situation is the mark of a true Gemini, which is honestly where Agatha shines. Remember how we all thought she was just Wanda’s friendly next-door neighbor when in reality she was controlling everything behind the scenes? This girl is insanely smart and knows how to blend in, which makes her unreliable but oh-so-captivating to watch.
