This club is still in progress, club founder has been unwell so bear with us while we continue to edit the club.
All who love W.I.T.C.H. are welcome to join! This club will have discussions and be a gathering place for people who love W.I.T.C.H. in any of it's forms.
It's about 5 girls who find out that they are magical guardians of a veil separating this world from other magical worlds.
W.I.T.C.H. originally was an Italian comic by Elizabeth Gnome then a French Animated series done in Anime style with 2 seasons.
In the USA it was a changed into a novel series, until the graphic novels were brought in 2005 every two months with a pinup poster included.

W.I.T.C.H. Member's Powers
The origin of the Heart of Kandrakar is based upon the Asian story of the Four Dragons. [*] Yellow Dragon – the dragon of Earth. [*] Black Dragon – the dragon of Air. [*] Red Dragon – the dragon of Fire. [*] Pearl Dragon – the dragon of Water. [*] Jade Emperor – a cruel and uncaring ruler who punished the dragons for bringing rain to the people. He had the dragons sealed away in four mountains. [*] Xin Jing – a nymph, her name means Heart of Crystal in Chinese. When the Emperor sealed away the dragons, Xin Jing used all her powers to gather those of the four dragons together and turn their bodies into the four rivers of China. All that remained of Xin Jing was a small crystal: the Heart of Kandrakar. Will reminds Nerissa about the origins of the Heart. [*] Orube first appeared in issue 28 during the Arkhanta saga, and therefore, she is not part of the W.I.T.C.H. acronym. [*] Unlike the five other Guardians, Taranee goes through a hair change from her ordinary self to her W.I.T.C.H. costume. Cornelia's and Hay Lin's hair grow a little longer when transforming, but these are not as obvious as Taranee's hair change. [*] It is slightly ironic that Hay Lin is the Guardian of Air. While the group stays with the Classical Elements (Air, Water, Fire, and Earth), Hay Lin is of Chinese culture and in Chinese culture, Air is not one of the five elements - rather, they are Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, and Wood. This also counts for the ancient Chinese myth of the four dragons and the nymph Xin Jing. [*] In Italy, most of Europe, and Asia, the realm of infinity is spelled "Candrakar;" in other Anglophone countries, it is spelled "Kandrakar;" and in Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland, it is spelled "Kondrakar." [*] On the W.I.T.C.H. TV series, Anna is Irma's birth mother, not her stepmother, as she remembers when Irma was a baby. [*] The name Phobos means "fear" in Greek. Phobos is the Greek God of fear and horror. He is the son of Ares and Aphrodite-It is also the name of one of the 2 moons of the planet Mars. [*] The original Italian version of the comic speaks of a Wall instead of a Veil. [*] In the cartoon, only Hay Lin can make herself invisible; in the comic, all of the girls have this power, including Orube. [*] W.I.T.C.H. celebrated its 100th issue in July 2009. [*] In the comics and books, only Hay Lin can fly; in the show, all the guardians can fly. From issue 76 all guardians can fly; their wingspan can expand up to 18 feet. Every year, the W.I.T.C.H. comic book releases a special issue that tells a unique story about the girls, such as a what if story, or a deeper look into their own lives. So far the following special issues have been released: [*] The Year Before [*] Elyon: Return of the Queen [*] Cornelia and Caleb: A Love Not Meant to Be [*] Core of Kandrakar [*] Planet Boys [*] Orube Special (W.I.T.C.H. special issue) [*] Two hearts for a ball (World Cup Special) [*] Christmas Special 2004 [*] Christmas Special 2005 [*] Christmas Special 2006 [*] W.I.T.C.H. Look Book [*] Caleb and Elyon - Two Destinies [*] Halloween Special 2007 [*] Olympic Games 2008 Special [*] Witch on Stage! The W.I.T.C.H. book series consists of 26 books. The books contain comic inserts from the W.I.T.C.H. graphic novels. The series has ended at the 26th book adaptation of the comic.

W.I.T.C.H. is an animated television series based on the Italian comic book series of the same name. Like the comics, the series follows five ordinary girls: Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin who become endowed with magical powers and become the "Guardians of the Veil". They must save Meridian from the evil sorcerer Phobos and his faithful companion Cedric who are searching for Phobos' sister, the long lost princess of Meridian. It is later revealed the princess is Cornelia's best friend Elyon, and the Guardians then set about saving her from Phobos. When Meridian is freed from evil and Elyon takes the throne, a new mysterious sorceress named Nerissa frees Phobos's top henchmen and reforms them as the Knights of Vengeance. Once the Guardians learn more about the sorceress and her evil plan of reuniting former Guardians, they are able to defeat the Knights only to have more powerful Knights of Destruction, plus the old Guardians attack them. The Guardians chief ally is Hay Lin's grandmother Yan Lin, a former Guardian herself, and the one that taught the girls about their magical destiny. They are also helped by Caleb, a heroic soldier from Meridian, leader of the rebellion against Phobos, and Blunk, a frog-like goblin creature (known as a Passling) who takes things from the human world to Meridian (and vice-versa), humorously mistaking everyday objects for other things or items of value. Matt, Will's boyfriend, accidentally learns about Meridian and when he sees all the trouble on it going on, he learns how to become a warrior to help them. They are also helped by the Oracle, leader of the Universe in Kandrakar, who was the one who chose the Guardians. Both the first and second seasons consist of 26 episodes each. Sip Animation completed the full production of W.I.T.C.H. Season 2 around September 2006, and it premièred in the States, Canada, and The UK in spring of 2006 [list] [*] It Begins [*] It Resumes [*] The Key [*] Happy Birthday, Will [*] A Service to the Community [*] The Labyrinth [*] Divide and Conquer [*] Ambush at Torus Filney [*] Return of the Tracker [*] Framed [*] The Stone of Threbe [*] The Princess Revealed [*] Stop the Presses [*] Parents' Night [*] The Mudslugs [*] Ghosts of Elyon [*] The Mogriffs [*] Walk This Way [*] The Underwater Mines [*] The Seal of Phobos [*] Escape From Cavigor [*] Caleb's Challenge [*] The Battle of the Meridian Plains [*] The Rebel Rescue [*] The Stolen Heart [*] The Final Battle [*] A is for Anonymous [*] B is for Betrayal [*] C is for Changes [*] D is for Dangerous [*] E is for Enemy [*] F is for Facades [*] G is for Garbage [*] H is for Hunted [*] I is for Illusion [*] J is for Jewel [*] K is for Knowledge [*] L is for Loser [*] M is for Mercy [*] N is for Narcissist [*] O is for Obedience [*] P is for Protectors [*] Q is for Quarry [*] R is for Relentless [*] S is for Self [*] T is for Trauma [*] U is for Undivided [*] V is for Victory [*] W is for Witch [*] X is for Xanadu [*] Y is for Yield [*] Z is for Zenith Each Guardian's powers and abilities are fueled by Kandrakar, transmitted to the Heart via the Aurameres (the physical representations of the Guardians' powers and abilities). The Aurameres grant the same powers to each of their guardians; for instance, any powers held by Irma would also have been possessed by Cassidy. When the Guardians transform, they change form and grow wings, which help them fly. Using the Heart of Candracar, a Guardian can create an Astral Drop, a duplicate of herself, when the words "Spord Lartsa" (Astral Drops spelt backwards) are said. Also the Guardians can combine their powers and abilities together and create a concentrated beam of mystical magical pink glowing energy as seen in the first episode of the series. In the second season since the removal the Veil, the Guardians can travel across other worlds and planets by “folding“, with the aid of the Heart of Candracar (Elyon can “fold” without the Heart). In order to travel to another place in the same world, each Guardian can teletransport. Teletransporting is a difficult power and ability to learn and one can materialize into another solid object if not careful enough. Also if a Guardian teletransports while not connected to an Auramere or a Heart than they will drain their life force which will weaken them enormously. The Guardians can also become one with their dragon (or in Will's case, the nymph Xin Jing) and literally become their element all the while significantly strengthening and increasing their powers and abilities to innumerable uncontrollable levels; which makes them a thousand times stronger and a thousand times more powerful than if they had multiple Hearts. However this is risky and rather dangerous because it costs them their humanity and they could be easily controlled and enthralled. Also, it has been shown that if a Guardian uses her elemental powers and abilities and is not connected to an Auramere, it will drain their life force which will weaken them enormously. This may be why Nerissa aged so much faster than the rest of C.H.Y.K.N.. A Guardian can also become a Quinto-Guardian. A Quinto-Guardian has the powers and abilities over all five elements: Quintessence, Water, Fire, Earth and Air. A Quinto-Guardian can also again the amazing power and ability to summon ice . The only known Quinto-Guardians are Cornelia (granted briefly by the Aurameres) and Nerissa (by using her Seal). ~*~ [*] Will and Nerissa control and manipulate the element of Quintessence [*] Irma and Cassidy control and manipulate the element of Water [*] Taranee and Halinor control and manipulate the element of Fire [*] Cornelia and Kadma control and manipulate the element of Earth [*] Hay Lin and Yan Lin control and manipulate the element of Air Various planets play an important role in the W.I.T.C.H. series. Earth is the home of the Guardians of the Veil, later the Infinite Dimensions while Meridian, Kandrakar and Zamballa are mystical planets that are introduced as the story progresses and the evil forces get stronger. Nerissa also briefly visited a place called Aridia, a desert realm in an attempt to steal their Heart (an unnamed male rock giant). But her attempt failed when the Seal of Nerissa signaled that the other members of C.H.Y.K.N. were freed from her control. [*] Earth [*] Meridian [*] Kandrakar [*] Zamballa W.I.T.C.H. has been released on DVD in Europe, Australia, the Philippines (both in DVD and VCD versions, which is currently in the first season), Brazil, and Malaysia currently spanning 3 volumes, each containing episodes of season 1. They each come with 2 art cards featuring one of the W.I.T.C.H. girls. The DVDs together only contain the first 11 episodes. Volumes 4, 5 and 6 are planned to be released on the 3rd September 2007 for Region Code 1 and 2 and on the 17th of October for 3 and 4, which could see the rest of Season 1 on DVD. Two box sets have been released in the United Kingdom and Russia: the first box containing volumes 1, 2 and 3. The second contains volumes 4, 5 and 6. [*] The UK and US versions of the show have different theme songs. The UK introduction shows the girls and their powers in a "story version" with unique footage for the opening, while the US version shows action clips from some episodes. [*] For season 2, SIP Animation brought a new studio to animate the series. [*] In the US, Season 2 didn't get a new opening because Disney US wanted consistency when they aired Season 1 and 2 simultaneously. This doesn't apply to the UK Season 2 opening, which did get revamped with new scenes. [*] The US theme song entitled "We Are Witch" was sung by Marion Raven. [*] The US opening includes scenes from the W.I.T.C.H. demo reel that were never used in the series. [*] There are three Spanish versions of the W.I.T.C.H. opening: (1) A version heard in Spain, (2) A version heard in Latin America, and (3) A Spanish version of the US opening which can be heard in the US if you switch the audio from English to Spanish (You'll hear the Spanish dub if you do so) [*] From episode 14 onwards, a new version of "We Are W.i.t.c.h." is used as the show's opening theme, replacing the "demo" version. [*] The episode "M is for Mercy" was censored in the US version. The battle between Shagon and W.I.T.C.H. was edited to remove the scenes where Shagon hurts the girls. [*] In episodes "R is for Relentless" and "V is for Victory" of Season 2, Usagi Tsukino from Sailor Moon, dressed in her school uniform, makes two cameo appearances, first in the lunch line and then walking through the corridors of Sheffield Institute.
