Halloween is officially here! In honor of the best—and spookiest—time of the year, let's celebrate these 13 badass witches who were the role models for our youth.
Sally is strength itself, the power of her love is only matched by that of a supreme. We all found a relatable modern witch in ourselves when watching this story about familial bond and the love that guides us.
Based on the real life Voodoo queen of the south, Angela Bassett's fictional take on this mystic gave us life and a thrill for all things spooky.
Flying our brooms back to a time of '90s nostalgia, Sabrina charmed her way into our lives on the ABC family sitcom. (Whenever Salem the shade-throwing cat didn't steal the spotlight!)
That's right, even mama Ru is a contributor to the practices of Wicca from time to time. There's no doubt she snatched the wigs off of every other basic witch following her 1998 TV cameo on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.
Our beloved Debbie Reynolds gave our childhood a truly loveable spell caster in the iconic '90s DCOM Halloweentown. Her charming quirk and love for all things norm-defying will never be forgotten.
The original green girl! Setting the bar for witchery in pop culture, defying gravity and beauty norms, and showing us that if that basic country girl snatches those shoes before you...throw a fireball at her.
24 years flies by when you're dead, but these classic ladies are still youthful, living, and driving us amok!
She's style, she's class, but the demon under that skin is in serious need of botox. Anjelica Huston is still serving us Queen B realness in everything from The Witches to The Addams Family.
Every LGBT person has seen themself personified in Gilly's firery and rebelious personality at one time or another. She lives to love, and is quick to the midnight margaritas.
Thanks to this witch queen of the sea, we learned about the magic we all have in ourselves: body language, the reading of others to filth, and serving fish all day, every day.
She's the baddest witch in town, the heart and soul of American Horror Story's anthology narrative. Though we might not see her iconic wit and grace on AHS anymore, she still reigns supreme in our covens.
Stevie captured our souls in her white light and songs from "Rhiannon" to "Seven Wonders." Fly on mama!
She may not have any movie or TV roles where she played a witch, but by joining forces with real witches nationwide back in July to hex Donald Trump, we found yet another reason to worship the fierce, retro Americana songbird.
