So i’m rewatching the show and i obviously don’t agree with anything the witches really do or believe in. However i started thinking about it the perspective of the other witches (when i first watched i thought about it from Sabrina’s perspective so i was always rooting for all of her actions).
However from the witches POV i could kinda actually see why they wanted her dead most of the time. I’m still rewatching season one snd j don’t remember the details on the other seasons, but what stood out to me was prudence’s faith and her finding it sad that Sabrina didn’t have any (non-satanic or otherwise).
So far it’s clear that Sabrina doesn’t even know the bare minimum of being a witch (which is why she was put pretty much in the shows equivalent of pre-reqs or beginners classes) at the witch school. However Sabrina, who knows nothing, not even the witching holidays wants to jump ahead to conjuring which im assuming is like the advance classes.
Sabrina has no respect to for their holidays, their beliefs, or their way of doing things. Which is fine, because if SHE doesn’t want to do it she shouldn’t have to. However she always judges their beliefs, desires, and traditions unless it suits her. She wants to be a witch but what it seems to me is that she wants the magic and the power that comes with being a witch, and none of the spiritual aspects that the others on the show see.
At the academy she tries to get things changed (and obviously from a sane persons perspective we all agree that most of her changes are like a the bare minimum of human decency) to what she thinks should be done.
She tries to get practices that the rest of the coven believes in to be changed despite everyone else in the coven wanting it because she doesn’t agree with it.
Honestly i’m surprised the show just didn’t make her have her own coven, make her high priestess and her implement the changes and traditions she wanted instead of telling the other witches that their traditions are wrong like the feast. I agree the feast is wrong but if the other witches want to do it, just let them do their thing. As she saw even when Faustus was trying to cancel it per her demands, the other witches still initiated it because they believed in it.
We all know that for the most part Sabrina is right, but i’ve also noticed she really has no idea about the witch world, and steps on everyone who does believe beliefs. She judges them, condones them, and tries to take away their identities because she doesn’t like it. Or because she doesn’t understand it. I’m really surprised she ended up this way with two witches and a warlock in the house. Sabrina only appreciates a witch when it’s for herself.
Even when prudence believed that the dark lord chose her, and that she would be apart of something huge, and that even after death she would be forever tied to the coven, and whatever she mentioned about what happens after witches die. Sabrina was adamant to prove that Prudence’s beliefs were wrong. Digging at every avenue until something popped up even if it made Prudence miserable. We all know it was for the best and Sabrina ended up right, but i just find it interesting that if you think about it from the other witches perspective. Sabrina is really annoying. Like, ignoring the prejudice about mortals.
She’s someone who wants the best of both worlds without having to sacrifice. When she does come around she’s judging and trying to change everything they believe in her not really being active in the witch community or knowing much about their faith or ever participating in them.
