Witches

Endora- The mother of Samantha, perhaps one of the most powerful witches in modern television.  

If you Google Endora, here's what you get:

• Endora (Bewitched), the magical mother-in-law portrayed by Agnes Moorehead on the TV sitcom Bewitched
• Endora Lenox, the good witch character on the television soap opera Passions
• Endora, a planet-sized matrioshka array in the Walter Jon Williams novel Implied Spaces

Edit

Did you know the name Endora is a nod to the Witch of Endor, who is mentioned in the Bible?  Dig a little further into Google and you can find this:

Witch of Endor. In the Hebrew Bible, the Witch of Endor was a woman who summoned the prophet Samuel's spirit, at the demand of King Saul of the Kingdom of Israel in the First Book of Samuel, chapter 28:3–25.


A very powerful witch indeed. What are witches but empowered women.  The word witch in the English language originally meant a wise and aged woman.  You will have to search a lot harder to find that definition.  The word has been corrupted by our culture to mean something very different. Originally back in the Middle Ages, witches were elderly-learned women of the community and were highly regarded as nurturers, mothers, grandmothers, healers, and keepers of knowledge.  

With Halloween coming, it is time to remember that real Witches are everywhere.
