Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is about a witch who has to choose whether to sign her soul over to Satan. The show leans in on the shadowy aspects of the occult big time. But real-life members of the occult have turned a critical eye towards the show. Here's what Sabrina gets wrong about the occult.

In Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, every witch, including Sabrina, is given a dark baptism once they turn 16. During this ritual they sign their name in blood in the Book of the Beast, giving themselves over to an eternity of servitude to the Dark Lord, a.k.a., Satan. In doing so, Sabrina, who is only a half-witch, would put an end to all mortal ties and become a full witch, submersed in the world of the dark arts.

This makes for great television, but it isn't real life. Refinery29 quotes a witch named Amanda Yates Garcia as saying on screen depictions of witchcraft as dark or satanic are the, quote, "bane of [her] life." Garcia, and many other witches like her, agree the concept of Satan is something that comes from the Christian religion. They don't believe in him, and he has no part in the occult practices witches associate themselves with.

A male witch named Myrddin told the BBC:

"We don't do anything sinister like Devil worship and we don't make human or animal sacrifices. We honor, revere, and give thanks to nature. We celebrate the seasons. It's not all blood and gore."

And Daizy October, a witch who contributed to a Huffington Post article on the matter, says:

"The 'lord' of witches is not 'Satan.' Most African Traditional Religion practitioners, Wiccans, and pagans have no concept of 'the devil' in their spiritual traditions at all." Keep watching to learn What Sabrina Gets Wrong About The Occult!
