as was my bigger worry..."witchcraft" type play from
some of the shows Sarah likes to watch.


Why? That was some of my favorite kind of escapism/play/fantasy stuff when I was a kid...still is. It's a really unhealthy thing to label some fantasy as "bad". Fantasy is fantasy. No one should be making some daydreaming/play seem bad to a kid.

I agree with Ren. I don't see any harm in playing and pretending things like witches. I did when I was a kid, but I didn't become a witch, lol. Superheros have powers too, is that the same thing? Maybe you're overly sensitive to witchcraft in general? I kinda like the way that the Sabrina show points out that even though they have witchcraft powers, they still get themselves in spots where their powers can't help much. They still have to think their way out of situations. Powers aren't everything.
