Vanity Fair just ran a feature on Netflix’s occult-themed series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ production designer Lisa Soper who is, in fact, a practicing Pagan. The article starts:
“Like Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka), the protagonist of Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, production designer Lisa Soper was born on Halloween. ‘ know,’ she said in an interview Monday, a few days after the series debuted. ‘There were so many random coincidences with this show.’
“The other coincidence: Soper, like Sabrina, is a practitioner of the occult. Sabrina’s witchcraft is a fictional blend of magic and mysticism drawing from a variety of subcultures; paganism, which Soper practices, is one of them. Her beliefs made designing this show—helping show-runner Roberto Aguirre-Sacasaconceptualize the magical framework around each episode’s action—a professional challenge with deeply personal resonance.”
