Witches living in the modern world face numerous challenges and misconceptions. While they have existed throughout history, their identity and practices have often been misunderstood and vilified. This note aims to shed light on the reality of witches living in contemporary society. Firstly, it is important to debunk the stereotype that all witches are evil or engage in malicious activities. Witches follow diverse spiritual paths and traditions that focus on harnessing natural energy and connecting with the divine. Their practices can vary greatly, including spellcasting, divination, herbalism, and healing, among others.
“We hope to create a movement where people share their own ‘recipes for magic’,” Kaypak said. “While Coca‑Cola is universal, food is inherently local — so we are intentionally featuring a diverse range of cuisines and creators. The complexity of life pulls us away from each other and the table, so we hope to inspire people of all ages, all backgrounds, all walks-of-life, to come together around the table and celebrate the magic of shared meals and Coca‑Cola.”
While content featuring Hadid and friends will launch in select markets around the world, Chinese actor and food enthusiast Yang Yang, and Mexican chefluencer Oscar Meza, will also bring the campaign to life through TV and social media films, recipe-focused billboards and more.

Coca‑Cola Announces ‘A Recipe for Magic’ Global Campaign Celebrating Connective Power of Meals
Three simple, essential ingredients — the moment of connection, the meal and an ice-cold Coca‑Cola — combine to create a “recipe for magic” when friends and family gather around the table. That’s the core message behind a new global Coca‑Cola campaign announced today in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Japan and other key markets.
“A Recipe for Magic” celebrates the human bond formed by family members, friends and even strangers while breaking bread – rooted in the belief that whether an everyday or a specially planned occasion, meal moments become magical when they are enjoyed together. All it takes is a mix of good company, great food and ice-cold Coca‑Cola.
Anchoring the “A Recipe For Magic” creative content is foodie and mom, Gigi Hadid. “Cooking is a love of mine. It’s an extension of my creativity,” Hadid said. “I learned, especially from my dad, that cooking is so much about intuition, self-expression, and connecting with others.”
While content featuring Hadid and friends will launch in select markets around the world, Chinese actor and food enthusiast Yang Yang, and Mexican “chefluencer” Oscar Meza, will also bring the campaign to life through TV and social media films, recipe-focused billboards and more.

“It’s clear people are longing for greater connection in today’s hyper-connected world, and a universal insight is that meals have the power to do just that,” said Elif Kaypak, Global Brand Marketing Lead, The Coca‑Cola Company. “Coca‑Cola has a rich and storied connection with food and has established its role as the perfect pairing to meals cooked at home, ordered-in for takeout, or enjoyed in a restaurant. We hope this campaign will encourage our fans to get together and share more than just the food on the table through authentic moments.”
According to research, one in two global shoppers agree that Coca‑Cola helps make gatherings more enjoyable* and approximately 86% of the brand’s global shoppers agree that Coca‑Cola makes any meal better.*

They may experience prejudice in both personal and professional settings, leading many to keep their beliefs and practices hidden. This can result in feelings of isolation and a lack of support from the wider community. It is important to remember that witches, like any other individuals, deserve respect and acceptance for their beliefs and practices. Despite these challenges, witches have found ways to adapt and thrive in modern society. With the rise of the internet and social media, witches can now connect with each other, form communities, and share knowledge and resources. Online platforms also allow witches to educate the public and dispel misconceptions, promoting a better understanding of their practices and beliefs. Moreover, witches often contribute positively to their communities through their spiritual work and activism. Many witches are passionate about environmentalism, social justice, and equality, working to create a more sustainable and equitable world. Their spiritual practices often emphasize the connection between humans and nature, fostering a deep respect and care for the environment and all living beings. In conclusion, witches living in the modern world face challenges due to the misrepresentation of their beliefs and practices. However, it is crucial to recognize that witches are not inherently evil or harmful. They follow diverse spiritual paths and traditions, aiming to promote positivity, empowerment, and personal growth. By fostering understanding and acceptance, society can create a more inclusive environment for witches and recognize the valuable contributions they make to their communities..
