WITCHES!

Symbol of female empowerment (shifts with the nature of the contemporary world)

Films: Kiki's delivery Service , Hocus Pocus, Malifacent, I Married a Witch

Books: Aunt Maria/ Black Mariah
Male and female power struggle
Balance is restored by a brother and sister team (companionship through bonding)
Witches control minds and thoughts rather that overt, literal and physical magic

Stereotype (lacks observation and relevance to the moment)  vs.  Archetype

Sexuality (power and independence is attractive!)
