Thirty-One Loves of October: Witches & TV

(Credit: Wikipedia)

American Horror Story: Coven is the upcoming third season of the FX horror anthology television series American Horror Story. It is set to premiere on October 9, 2013, and conclude in January 2014.

It's been around 300 years since the Salem witch trials. Those who remain are almost extinct and in danger again. A school has opened in New Orleans to teach protection to the young. The long-absent Supreme, Fiona, arrives to also protect the coven and their secrets. Fiona's daughter, Cordelia, teaches at the school. The themes include witches, witch hunts, incest, minorities, slavery, mothers and daughters, and witchcraft versus voodoo. This season will be set in modern day and the 1830s.

Are you going to stay up tonight to watch it?! I hope so, I would love to hear what you think on the matter.

Another new witchy show I started to watch: Witches of East End. I'm not too sure what I think of it so far. It sort of reminds me of Charmed but I'm not going to give it the axe just yet. I'll keep watching just because new-comer, Cillian (aka Daniel DiTomasso and in the books it was spelled with a K if I remember correctly), the mysterious bad boy, is the hottest thing that has hit television in the a while.

Witches! One reason I love October and the Witching season!
