Sabrina, Willow, Thomasin, Queenie – many of us have a favorite teen witch from film or television. The teenage witch archetype has changed over the decades, from a silly materialist bobby soxer, to a raging force of rebellious autonomy. But until very recently, the teen witch has almost always been presented as middle-class, female, and white. And while media depictions of witches have inspired Seekers of the magical and sorcerous – the world of actual teen witches is still very much shrouded in mystery. Featuring Miranda Corcoran, Addy Ebrahimy, Heather Greene, and Susan Ridgely.
