A Time magazine feature written by Peg Aloi, a film critic, media studies scholar and practicing witch, published to mark the film's 2020 sequel. Its strength is that its author is both a trained critic and a practitioner, and it names real figures within the witchcraft community, including a documented on the record critic of the film's accuracy. Its limit is that it is journalism rather than peer reviewed scholarship, so it is cited here for its sourced reporting on the production and its named community reactions, disclosed plainly as journalism.

Notes
Published October 28, 2020, read directly. Cited for on set consultant Pat Devin, a Gardnerian Wicca high priestess who aimed to keep the film's rituals "authentic, if generic," and for Wren Walker, co-founder of The Witches' Voice, whose documented criticism said viewers "would certainly not be clear...which parts...show actual practices and which are Hollywood fabrications" and that hiring Devin merely lent "credibility to an otherwise inaccurate portrayal."
