For Darrin's "daydream daughter", see Little Endora . For Endora as a child on Halloween, see Young Endora . Endora is Samantha Stephens ' mother and Maurice 's wife. She is an extremely powerful witch .
About [ ] Endora disapproves of her daughter's decision to marry a mortal . She sometimes casts spells on Darrin for her own amusement, but mostly to try to drive Darrin away from Samantha. She refuses to even use Darrin's name, purposely calling him "Durwood," "What's-his-name," "Darwin," "Dum-Dum," "Dagwood," "Dustbin," et cetera , all much to his annoyance.[ 2]
Despite her disapproval, Endora loves Samantha and her grandchildren, Tabitha and Adam , more than anything. Endora is the most frequent houseguest and one of the most loyal members of Samantha's family.
After learning that Tabitha was a witch, Endora, Hagatha , and Enchantra wanted Tabitha to attend Hagatha's witch school, but Maurice stopped them. ("Witches and Warlocks Are My Favorite Things ")
Endora and Carlotta wanted Samantha to marry Carlotta's son, Juke , but after Samantha taught Juke to stand up to his mother, she let them go, and Juke married someone else. ("Darrin, Gone and Forgotten ")
Trivia [ ] Siblings [ ] It is revealed that she was an only child before her brother, Arthur , was born. Because of this fact, it is actually extremely doubtful that Hagatha and Enchantra were Endora's sisters. ("Endora Moves in for a Spell ")
Age [ ] The age of Endora is a question that is never answered directly, but on many occasions, a reference is made to a time of birth or to someone from history whom Endora knew.
She makes reference to having known Diogenes (400 BC) [citation needed]
She makes reference to having known Julius Caesar . [citation needed]
She says she cooked for the Roman Emperor, Claudius. [citation needed]
She makes reference to having known Helen of Troy (1180 BC). ("Which Witch Is Which? ")
Serena tells Phyllis that Endora admits to 1000. ("Mrs. Stephens, Where Are You? ") Arthur says she is over 4000. [citation needed]
Maurice says he and Endora knew Atilla the Hun (450 AD). [citation needed]
Endora says she has changed her mind many times in 3000 years. [citation needed]
Endora states she dated Otzie the iceman (3500 BC). [citation needed]
She made a deal with Carlotta in the Middle Ages for Samantha to marry her son, Juke. ("Darrin, Gone and Forgotten ") On the other hand
Endora says she went to Shakespeare's plays as a little girl. [citation needed]
Endora refers to being a child bride when Samantha was born. [citation needed]
Endora says again she was a child bride. This time she defines it as being in 1670. [citation needed]
Endora says she was not born at the time of King Henry VIII (1570). ("How Not to Lose Your Head to King Henry VIII (Part 1) ") Episodes [ ] Although Agnes Moorehead was credited as playing Endora in the opening credits of every single episode, her contract allowed her to appear in only a certain number of shows each season.
