A morning full moon. Beginning with the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, the perception of witches has changed drastically. Through writing and film, witchcraft has gone from being depicted as deviant and sexual to empowering and accepted. The Salem Witch Trials were accuser focused, believing the young girls who named other women even though there was no proof. The new media is witch-centered, showing that witchcraft is not always harmful. The Salem Witch Hunt , by Richard Godbeer, The Crucible , by Arthur Miller, I, Tituba Black Witch of Salem , by Maryse Conde, and the new Netflix show The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina , all showcase the changing views on witches throughout
