Wendy Witch Changed My Mind

When I was a child witches were the demonic devils in faerie tales. I was terrified of the old lady up the block who looked like Margaret Hamilton. Witches, witchcraft and witchery were to be feared, and I was frightened. Harvey Comics changed it up when they introduced us to Wendy Witch. Wendy was kind and compassionate, she wanted to make friends. She was a soft-hearted upstander who stood up for other people. This was a new witch, a witch I wanted to know better. She changed things up in my head, and I looked up witchcraft. Witchcraft is not Satan’s workshop, it is gardening, it is herbs, it is awareness. “To no one do harm” is the witch’s creed. Who were these men who wanted us to fear witches? Possibly jealous men who did not know how to garden. I thank Harvey Comics for my mind shift regarding witches. And Wendy Witch of course!
