Witches

Willow

A major aspect of the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer involves witchcraft. The first instance of witchcraft on the show was during The Witch, in which we see Catherine Madison use powerful magicks to take over her daughter Amy’s body, so she could become a cheerleader. Willow became interested in witchcraft during season two and her power grew over the years. We saw her perform many spells over the years including the commonly used locator and binding spells. Her first major spell involved giving Angel his soul back (Becoming (Part 2)), though she did this at pretty much the worst time. Willow met fellow Wiccan Tara at a campus Wiccan group and the two began to perform magic together. When Tara was shot (Seeing Red), Willow turned to black magick for revenge and it took her a long time to recover from this. Other spells of note seen on the show include Jonathan’s augmentation spell which made everyone believe he was their ideal in Superstar; the Scoobies’ spell to combine their essences in order for Buffy to defeat Adam in Primeval; Amy’s spell which made Willow decide her own punishment in Killer in Me and Willow’s spell in Chosen to give Slayer-power to all potential Slayers.
