As a category six wizard in her eighties, Josephine O’Connor has always enjoyed a youthful body due to extremely slow aging. But when she discovers she’s become immortal, she must return to the workforce. Soon after starting her investigative work for the police, Josephine discovers a secret organization called the Valituras that has amassed ancient magic and power with single-minded determination. Her new assignment of defeating this agency may prove to be an impossible feat as their members have infiltrated all levels of the government including law enforcement and their advanced wizardry rivals her own.
Josephine realizes she may be in over her head when the Valituras end up casting an immortality curse on her best friend, Helen, by mistake. To further complicate matters, her grandson’s eighteen-year-old friend starts hitting on her. Fortunately, Helen isn’t too broken up by the curse. Who wouldn’t want to live forever in a young, perfect body? Of course, everyone knows that dark magic always comes at a cost.

Samantha from Bewitched is my favorite witch
ReplyDeleteabfantom at yahoo dot com
My favorite is Glinda, the Good Witch of the South from the Wizard of Oz
ReplyDeleteGlenda/Glinda I can't remember how to spell it.
ReplyDeleteI liked all the little witches in the movie "The Craft" because they actually made some reference to Wicca and were full of human failings and teen angst.
ReplyDeleteGlenda the god witch is my favorite Rosanne rosans4@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteOnly one I can think of in Sabrina?? My mother was extremely strict in regards to what we could watch or listen to. We didn't even have a TV for many years and then we had no channels, just the VCR. So in short, witches, magic, wizards, etc. were forbidden...even shows like My Little Pony or the Carebears were a NO in our home due to their magical aspects! Very sheltered from that genre. abrennan09@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI like ELPHABA from Wicked.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fictional witch is Wendy from Casper!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite witch is Samantha from Bewitched.

ReplyDeleteThis question is so difficult. Maybe Sarah from Hocus Pocus?
ReplyDeleteI loved Hilda Spellman (played by Caroline Rhea) from Sabrina the Teenage Witch Series growing up. That would be my favorite fictional witch.
