The Real-Life Witches Behind The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina

Witches have been part of history for a very long time, but they have reached new heights with The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. While the show is fictional, a few of its concepts are based on real-world tales of witchcraft and the occult. Here are some real-life witches behind The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.

The Witch of Endor's appearance in the Book of Samuel is pretty troubling for many religious leaders and Biblical scholars, precisely because she practices magic. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, she practices necromancy, a form of spirit-summoning where she calls upon the dead, as requested by King Saul of Israel.

But Saul is actually the source of this awkwardness. Having gotten rid of all the magical workers from Israel, he now finds himself in need of help from God as an army is marching against him. God's not speaking to him, though, so Saul seeks out the Witch of Endor in order to raise the dead prophet, Samuel. The witch is suspicious but Saul says he won't have her killed. She raises the dead prophet, who goes on to excoriate Saul and tell him that the army will overtake Israel. Saul's days as a king are numbered.

Britannica reports that though her appearance is brief, the Witch of Endor has since become a fascinating figure for many. Medieval English poet Geoffrey Chaucer references her, while a later French writer colorfully claimed that the Witch of Endor even used a candle made out of her own son's fat.
