Ryan Murphy, the director of the series, makes for AHS: all seasons are driven by strong women. In Coven, it reached its peak: practically there are only female characters, all expressive and feuding in power struggles. The only three men worthy of note are Kyle, who is a zombie who just groans and grunhee obeys the girls, the husband goofball Cordelia and the butler-slave-Riff-Raff the Academy of witches. To reveal the next supreme the students have to demonstrate seven specific powers. And the seven powers are telekinesis (moving objects with the mind), Concilium (control of the mind of others), transmutation (displacement between two points in the speed of thought), divination (clairvoyance), Vitalis vitalum (vital energy transfer to another person); descensum (down to the worlds of the afterlife by astral projection); and finally pyrokinesis (set fire to people and objects with the power of the mind). The best parts of this season were the flashbacks, the subject, to bring the fantastic world of witches, feminine power that is in all seasons, and the costumes with such unique and exotic pieces.
