Sabrina is a young 16-year-old girl who is not so much wise but has a big heart for the ones she loves: Aunt Hilda and Zelda, her cousin Ambrose, her boyfriend Harvey, her best friend Roz, and her friend Susie. In episode one, Sabrina is obligated by her Aunt Zelda to partake in a dark baptism on her 16th birthday which will grant her full witch powers. This ceremony takes place on a blood moon which only occurs every 66 years so this is a one and a lifetime opportunity to become a full witch since she is a half witch and half mortal. In this episode and episode 2, Sabrina ends up coming to her senses that partaking in the dark baptism does not mean full freedom to use her powers but instead is to submit to their Dark Lord Satan and serve him as he would like. In fact, she struggled with the doubts of her dark baptism and even the High Priest from the Church of Night was sent to cure her of her doubts much like one  would go see a priest from the Catholic church to cure any doubts but still, as she arrived at her dark baptism, she did not sign her Blood in the Book of the Beast, which would have pledged her allegiance to Satan. I guess you could say Sabrina was wise to not sell her way her freedom to her religion and actually be able to think for herself.

Moving on to episode 6, Susie’s uncle Jesse was supposedly mentally sick and had to be put to bed rest and even tied up because of his terrifying behavior. It turns out Susie’s uncle was possessed by Aphophis, a demon. In the academy, the school she attends to learn about witchcraft, the High Priest gives a lesson on exorcisms and of course, knowing that her friend’s uncle is possessed, she asks him if a witch is able to perform an exorcism to which he replies to her that it is a sin as established by witch law. Nevertheless, Sabrina is determined to take risks and push boundaries by wanting to meddle in mortal affairs and perform an exorcism to banish the demon inside Jesse. In this episode, Aunt Zelda calls Sabrina the wise witch because her niece supposedly knows what she is doing but she is also tired of her niece risking their reputation and coven for mortals. I guess one could say that Sabrina is cocky because she believes she can do anything if it’s for the ones that she loves and will stop at nothing to make sure that she “fixes” all the mortal affairs. The “wise woman” concept can also be seen in episode 9, when she brings back Harvey’s brother from the dead using a resurrection spell. Nevertheless, witch law prohibits necromancy and conjuration spells because it goes against the natural order. Still, Sabrina rebels against her Aunts, cousin, and witch law to help Harvey, the love of her life. It is sweet to know that Sabrina would do anything for the person she loves the most but in doing so she puts her kind at risk. History has told us people thought to be witches were burned at the stake and in reality, Aunt Zelda and Hilda are attempting to preserve their kind and that is why they both go against Sabrina’s wishes. Sabrina has a wonderful heart but her emotions tend to get her, her family, and coven into danger and the potential of being exposed. She is quite the “wise witch”.
