Are you ready to dive into the magical world of Marvel’s witches? We’re about to uncover the spellbinding history leading up to the new series “Agatha All Along”!
The Ancient Times: Where It All Began
Long, long ago, in a time before smartphones and TikTok, a creepy entity called Chthon built a temple on Mount Wundagore. This wasn’t just any temple – it was dark and mysterious, kind of like that one house in your neighborhood that everyone thinks is haunted. Chthon wrote spells on the walls and even made statues of a powerful witch called the Scarlet Witch and her future son, Billy.
These words eventually became a book called the Darkhold. Think of it as the most dangerous spell book ever – way more risky than any prank spell book you might find at a joke shop!
The 1500s-1600s: Witches, Trials, and Trouble
Fast forward to 1576, when a witch named Lilia Caldero was born in Sicily. She’s like that cool great-great-great-grandma who’s been around forever and knows all the family secrets.
In 1693, things got really intense in Salem, Massachusetts. Remember learning about the Salem Witch Trials in history class? Well, in the Marvel world, there was a real group of witches called the Salem Coven. They put Agatha Harkness on trial for using dark magic. But Agatha was super powerful and ended up defeating the entire coven, including her own mom! Talk about family drama!
The 1700s-1800s: Magic Books and Monster Hunters
During the 1700s, someone wrote the Book of Cagliostro. This wasn’t your average Harry Potter-style spellbook – it was all about dark magic and time manipulation. Spooky stuff!
Around the same time, a guy named Ulysses Bloodstone started hunting monsters. Imagine if your family business was catching creatures like Bigfoot! That’s what the Bloodstone family did.
In the late 1800s, Agatha was still causing trouble. She drained the powers of another group of witches during the time when Queen Victoria ruled England. Agatha was building quite a reputation – she was like the witch world’s ultimate troublemaker.
The 1900s: Enter the Maximoff Twins
In 1989, two very important kids were born: Wanda and Pietro Maximoff. They grew up in a place called Sokovia, watching American TV shows and dealing with some really tough times. When they were 10, their parents died in a bombing, but Wanda’s hidden magic powers kept her and Pietro safe.
As teenagers, Wanda and Pietro joined protest movements and eventually became test subjects for a group called Hydra. Wanda got exposed to something called the Mind Stone, which made her powers even stronger.
The Avengers Era: Wanda’s Journey Begins
From 2015 to 2018, Wanda’s life changed a lot. She joined the Avengers, fell in love with Vision (who’s kind of like a super-smart robot), and got caught up in some big superhero battles. But then something terrible happened – a bad guy named Thanos snapped his fingers and made half of all living things disappear, including Wanda.
The Blip and Beyond: Wanda’s Grief Takes Over
In 2023, the Avengers brought everyone back (yay!), but Vision was still gone (boo!). Wanda was so sad that she accidentally used her powers to create a whole fake reality in a town called Westview. She made it look like old TV shows, probably because watching those shows made her feel safe when she was younger.
This is where Agatha comes back into the story. She sensed Wanda’s magic and showed up in Westview pretending to be a nosy neighbor named Agnes. Agatha wanted to steal Wanda’s powers for herself.
Wanda Vision: The Showdown
Agatha and Wanda had a big magical fight at the end of the WandaVision show. Wanda won and became the Scarlet Witch, just like in the ancient prophecy. She trapped Agatha in Westview, making her think she was still the character Agnes.
Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness: Wanda Goes Dark
In 2024, Wanda started using the Darkhold (remember that dangerous spell book?) to try and find her kids in other universes. She did some pretty bad things, fought Doctor Strange, and eventually realized she had gone too far. The temple on Mount Wundagore collapsed on her, and everyone thought she was gone for good.
Agatha All Along: The Spell Goes Haywire
Now it’s 2026, three years after WandaVision. Wanda’s disappearance has messed up the spell she put on Agatha. A mysterious guy named Teen (played by Joe Locke) finds out about Agatha’s history and figures out how to free her from the spell.
Agatha gathers a new group of witches, including Lilia (the super old witch from Sicily), Jennifer, Alice, and Sharon. They’re going on a magical quest down something called the Witch’s Road to get what their hearts desire. For Agatha, that means getting her powers back.
The show is going to be full of references to scary movies, witch stories, and other spooky stuff from pop culture. They’ll even have to sing a special song called “The Ballad of the Witch’s Road” to complete their journey!
What’s Next?
“Agatha All Along” is actually part two of a trilogy that started with WandaVision. The next part will be called “Vision Quest.” The creators of the show have hinted that we might hear about a character that fans thought would show up in WandaVision but didn’t. Could it be Doctor Strange? The Grim Reaper? Or maybe someone else entirely?
Wrapping It Up
So there you have it – the complete history of witchcraft in the Marvel universe, from ancient temples to modern-day TV magic. It’s a wild ride full of powerful witches, ancient prophecies, and lots of family drama. Whether you’re Team Wanda or Team Agatha (or maybe even Team Vision), there’s plenty to look forward to in “Agatha All Along”!
Remember, in the world of Marvel, magic isn’t just pulling rabbits out of hats or making coins disappear. It’s a force that can change reality, travel through time, and even break the rules of the universe. So the next time you’re watching a magic show, just think – what if that magician actually had Wanda’s powers? Now that would be a show worth watching!
