The Charmed Ones (as witches)





The Charmed Ones


Three of the most powerful good witches of all time. These three sisters fight evil on the weekly basis to protect the side of good and save innocents. They are known as (from left to right) Phoebe, Piper, and Paige. Piper being the eldest, Paige the youngest. They each have a set of unique powers, which combine to make the unstoppable force of "The Power Of Three".
They were born witches but had their powers taken away from them ( a spell called Binding) from their mother at a young age to protect them from the evil beings out there after them.
Of course they didn't remember. Years pass, there living life as normal as possible when Phoebe reads from a book she found in the attic that calls for their powers. And from that moment on, they became The Charmed Ones.
There was another sister, Prue. She was really the oldest, but died in a tragic battle. Won't go into too much detail of that in this post, but will try and focus mainly on the three sisters (sorry Prue fans).
Anyways, Piper, the oldest and most powerful is the sister with the power to freeze time. More specifically people and objects. It works by slowing down molecules until they "stop". She was a little panicky and scattered at first but learned to control her power and later gained another power. To blow things up (or people). Making her the strongest witch of them all.
Phoebe, the middle sister, has the power of Premonition. To see the future. She can also see into the past as well as present. There has been many accounts to where she was psychically linked to someone or experienced psychic/deja vu moments due to her power. But that's a different story. She later took on Self-Defense classes and gained more control over her body, and started Meditating. Which was where her later power came from. Levitation. I guess she had achieved her inner-harmony or something. Along with these two powers, she was known as the weakest witch, but then gained a final power. Empathy. To feel what others are feeling. Sounds weak? It not. She could control emotions as well, which also controlled powers. This is an enhancement of her psychic potential and shows how intuitive she is.
Finally, there Paige. She was given away at birth to protect a secret as well as herself. The two sisters found her right after Prue died. She is half whitelighter, half witch (Whitelighters are angelic beings, sort of like guardian angels). She could move things with her mind, Orb (Teleporting), Sense, Glamour (Change her appearance), and later heal wounds. She is the most spunky of the three and will do anything to save anyone whose worth it.

The Charmed Ones as a whole are pretty much unstoppable. Demons practically commit suicide when they enter the home of the Charmed Ones. Only a few has come to close to defeating them, but never have. Piper, Phoebe, and Paige are Charmed.

Why Charmed?

WHY IN THE HECK WOULD YOU LIKE A SHOW LIKE CHARMED?


Ever since I walked in on my sister watching Charmed. I've been hooked.
I had to be at least 7 years old. I saw them doing something magical and it amazed me. So I asked her what was she watching. So she invited me to her room every week to watch it with her. Soon after a while, I started to get the whole concept of the show (I was a smart kid) and developed a liking to the characters.

I mostly like the concept of three "Sisters", who just happen to be witches. Their not three witches who happen to be sisters. And thats what keeps it on a 'cool' level. Because to tell the truth, I really don't like all that evil stuff and gothic type setting. Charmed is the complete opposite. It's filled with humor, romance, and drama first. Then the supernatural is added.
The writers of Charmed really think about how the characters would feel in certain situations and try to create conflicts in their personal "normal" lives as well as their witchy ones.
Charmed is a diverse, unique, and bold show and that's what makes it appealing.

Everyone in my family knows I LOVE this show. I have no shame in watching Charmed (Nor anything else) and I will continue to love this show no matter what.
