When you think of a witch, the traditional image of a person in a pointy hat with a broomstick and a black cat may come to mind. However, witchcraft has undergone a modern transformation.
Gone are the days of cauldrons and potions stored in jars; now, spells and a wide array of witchcraft-related items can be purchased online.
