Its been about a week since Netflix released The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and real-life witches have mixed feelings about it.

The series puts a dark and devilish new twist to the story of Archie Comics character Sabrina Spellman, a half-witch, half-mortal who is preparing for an important rite of passage. On the night of her 16th birthday, Sabrinas aunts expect her to participate in a dark baptism, a ritual that would involve pledging her life to Satan. In exchange, she would become a full-fledged witch.

But Sabrina isnt interested in giving up her life as a mortal or being forced to do Satans bidding. Shes intent on finding a third way forward, a path that lets her keep her mortal friends and boyfriend while maintaining her ties to the magical world. Her determination triggers a chaotic series of events, as forces of darkness and light battle for her soul.

The series may be billed as fantasy, but many people consider witchcraft a real and vital religious practice. Modern-day witches are incredibly diverse, coming from traditions such Wicca, Reclaiming and Hoodoo. Some witches see their craft as a way to connect with the sacred power of the earth . Others see witchcraft as a tool for the marginalized, a way for those on the fringes of society to exact justice that would otherwise be denied to them. Some witches practice magic to honor their ancestors, continuing ancient indigenous traditions that colonial powers sought for centuries to stamp out.

HuffPost talked to several real-life witches about how Netflix s reboot portrays witches and witchcraft. Some praised the title characters gutsy efforts to stand up to the patriarchy. Other witches particularly witches of color thought the series reinforced old and harmful stereotypes about witchcraft and the people who practice it.

Elizabeth Ruth, a Haitian Vodou Priestess from Reynoldsburg, Ohio, initially was hopeful Sabrina could make a difference in how people perceived witches. But after watching the first episode, she emailed HuffPost again, saying the show broke bad.

Its offensive as fuck and inaccurate as hell, Ruth wrote.
