But Thorn isn’t actually a witch. She can’t do spells. She does the rituals for her own mental health, she doesn’t expect any magic to come out of them.
… But then she does a real magic spell that, because of her magic beliefs and/or bloodline, stops the real supernatural monster. There was even a bit about how someone else doing the exact same mumbo jumbo didn’t work because “you’re not a wiccan”
She didn’t know, but then the story happened and she learned that magic was real and she could do it because she was Wiccan and descended from a full blooded witch.
Sure, and you can definitely get that message from the story, but that’s not what the story is saying with its text. It’s saying “this hippie chick is actually a real wizard”. Same as when a character’s evil abusive mother turns out to be not her real mother at all! like in Tangled - Mother Gothel probably does inspire lots of real children of abusive parents to be okay with hating their (hate-worthy) mothers, but then the movie ends with Rapunzel meeting her real true family that loves her and cares for her and there’s no way her real parents would ever do anything cruel and selfish to their child.
Well I respected the hippie chick as soon as she explained her spiritual system, before all that plot stuff happened. And that respect is what stuck with me over the years. Also she’s really pretty.
That one’s okay because it taught me to respect people with unusual spiritual beliefs.
Ironically I got the opposite, it makes sense in worlds where magic is actually real, not in our reality though.

Didn’t she not know she was capable of that to begin with? Been years since I saw it.

But she already did wiccan rituals without knowing magic is real, and she’s valid for that. I respect her even if magic isn’t real.
