Witchy Wednesday, Down the Witches road!

 

I absolutely loved watching Marvel's Agatha All Along series on Disney ➕. Not that is really a surprise as I love films and TV shows that include Witches and I loved the character of Agatha in WandaVision. What I like about Agatha is she is a complicated character she is not straight out evil, though she does do some really wickedly evil things!!! In this series we get to see many sides to her character, she can be charming, naughty, humourous, scary, sexy and even pure Wicked Witch! But at times she also shows compassion and possibly kindness? Her story, which develops over the series, explains a great deal of how someone like Agatha becomes the Witch we know in WandaVision all because of the circumstances she has to deal with along the twisty road of life!

If you haven't seen the series yet I would highly recommend viewing and if possible I would recommend watching WandaVision first that way you get to know the beginnings of Agatha. I definitely enjoyed rewatching WandaVision as it really does beautifully flow into the new Agatha's series. 

Apart from the fabulously twisty and spooky stories and catchy soundtrack, I particularly loved the variations of 'The Witches Road' song I loved all the costume changes! I do have a bit of a thing for costume design and Agatha All Along had a lot of fabulous costumes from various time periods and also some with nods to other film related characters!

On this subject here are some cool links and youtube videos about the costumes used in the series. 

You may wish to watch the series before progressing further down this page. I have added the words to the Witches Road so you don't need to see them unless you read to the end of the song!

Ballad of the Witches' Road" 

Seekest thou the Road

To all that's foul and fair

Gather sisters fire, water, earth and air

Darkest hour, wake thy power

Earthly and divine

Burn and brew with coven true

And glory shall be thine

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Circle sewn with fate

Unlock thy hidden gate

Marching ever forward 'neath the wooded shrine

I stray not from the path

I hold Death's hand in mine...

Primal night giveth sight

Familiar by thy side

If one be gone, we carry on

Spirit as our guide...

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Down the witches road, down the Witches' Road

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches Road

Down the witches road, down the Witches' Road

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Down the witches road, down the Witches' Road

Blood and tears and bone

Maiden Mother Crone

The road is wild and wicked

Winding through the wood

Whеre all that's wrong is right

And all that's bad is good

Through many miles of tricks and trials

We'll wander high and low

Tame your fears, a door appears

The time has come to go

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Down the witches road, down the Witches' Road

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Down the witches road, down the Witches' Road

Down, down, down the road, down the Witches' Road

Down the witches road, down the Witches' Road

Follow me, my friend

To glory at the end
