The rise of witchcraft: why the magic of the past still enchants us

Global News published this video item, entitled “The rise of witchcraft: why the magic of the past still enchants us” – below is their description.

Whether it is protesters dressed up as witches at demonstrations, or influencers concocting potions on TikTok, there is no denying that witchcraft is having a moment. Witches have been part of the popular imagination for hundreds of years, with many paying a heavy price because of accusations of black magic. However, it wasn’t until the early 20th century that the modern pagan religion known as Wicca was born. Throughout the years, interest in witchcraft has ebbed and flowed, but it is now experiencing a resurgence and the age groups most captivated by it appear to be Millenials and Generation Z. Alyssa Julie explains why world events and uncertainty about the future may be contributing to witchcraft’s appeal.

In This Story: TikTok

TikTok, known in China as Douyin, is a Chinese video-sharing social networking service owned by ByteDance, a Beijing-based Internet technology company founded in 2012 by Zhang Yiming. It is used to create short music, lip-sync, dance, comedy and talent videos of 3 to 15 seconds, and short looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds.

ByteDance first launched Douyin for the Chinese market in September 2016. Later, TikTok was launched in 2017 for iOS and Android in most markets outside of mainland China; however, it only became available worldwide, including the United States, after merging with another Chinese social media service Musical.ly on 2 August 2018.
