How ‘Agatha All Along’ & The Witches’ Road Are Paving the Way for Wanda’s Return

‘Agatha All Along’ Premiered with the first two episodes and so far, the audiences are enjoying the show while critics are not. the show is campy with themes of horror, drama, comedy, and plenty of pop culture and references to famous witches.

Now, besides those references, comic book fans who are familiar with the magical side of Marvel Comics are also pleased that the MCU is finally touching up on the Witches’ Road.

Agatha gathered a makeshift coven to walk the Witches’ Road, in order to reclaim her powers, but even in the show it’s stressed how dangerous the Road is and how it’s not for the lighthearted.

It’s also hinted that Agatha walked the road once before, but I assume that we will learn more about it as the show goes on. So, what is the significance of the Witches’ Road?

The Witches’ Road is a mystical and dangerous path that only practitioners of magic in Marvel comics (and now MCU) can access. The Witches’ Road is primarily used for travel between different magical realms and for accessing hidden or powerful magical energies. Due to its hidden dangers and monstrous things that lurk in the shadows, the pathway has been described as a “death wish” accurately.

In the comics, The Witches’ Road was accessed both by Agatha and Scarlet Witch. Wanda used the mystical dimension to lure and defeat the Emerald Warlock. Scarlet Witch defeated the Emerald Warlock by pulling him into the realm of Cerridwen, Nicneven, and Oya, the so-called Witches’ Road, where the powers of female witches are increased when compared to male warlocks.

So, this is one more peculiarity of the place, the fact that female witches are empowered, it remains to be seen whether this will adapted in the MCU as well.

But, what does this mean for Wanda’s return? In the comics, the Witches’ Road was used to bring Agatha from the dead, Who is to say that the MCU adaptation of the place won’t reverse the story and pull Scarlet Witch from the dead?

The Witches’ Road is essentially a plane of existence where magic rules, meaning that usual laws of how things work power-vise don’t exactly apply. It’s likely going to be connected to the chaos magic.

It’s already been confirmed that Scarlet Witch won’t appear in ‘Agatha All Along’ (besides potential flashbacks…), there who’s to say that meddling with the Witches’ Road won’t have some “undesirablea” consequences related to the balance of magic…perhaps Scarlet Witch is alive there and waits for the first opportunity to free herself.
