Were all harnessing power that has been taken away from us in a way by society.
Sexuality, we use that for power.
Everything has been flipped as far as the gender roles.
Its so cool to be part of something so innovative.
Theres a lot of stigma about witches and its nice to be able to fix that, Sutton adds.
The idea of using female sexuality for power is one of the core tenets of this shows alternate history.
