The Craft: Legacy Trailer Is Finally Here!

Last updated on: September 30, 2020 at 4:36 am By Mat Auryn

There will never be another Nancy, Rochelle, Bonnie and Sarah and no one can play those characters like Fairuza Balk, Rachel True, Neve Campbell, and Robin Tunney did - but there doesn't have to be. I'm so glad they decided to go with a sequel instead of a reboot. The trailer looks amazing, and I'm excited to watch it and I hope that for at least a few kids, it will inspire them to explore witchcraft as an entry point and eventually develop into serious practitioners.

Last updated on: October 24, 2020 at 1:27 am By Mat Auryn

As much as we may not want to, our biological ancestors make up who we are in the most literal of ways. A common concept in witchcraft and other magickal and spiritual traditions is the idea that we heal and redeem our ancestors, which as is part of the reason the Higher Self and Lower Self create the contract to create an incarnation and thus a Middle Self.
