I'm watching this drama called "Secret Circle".
On the show the witch hunters have come to hunt the teen witches.
Have you ever been confronted by someone who wanted to hurt you because you are a Pagan?
I don't remember it because I have always been fairly muscled.
But my father did tell me that witchcraft was not of Christianity.
I did have a coworker scoff at me for saying I am Pagan.
But that is about the extent of it.
Not even at public gatherings have we been confronted.
Just lucky, I guess.
But I have friends, or supposed friends who probably feared that I might put a curse on them if they vexed me. I wanted to be more approachable and that was the reason for me concealing my pentagram.
Permalink Reply by Rev. Andi on I too have been fairly lucky in that I have not had any problems thus far from my beliefs! :-)
I even, on the way to Florida from London for my honeymoon, had one of the air stewardesses come up to me and tell me she liked my pentagram and was glad she wasn't the only Witch on the flight!
It's quite strange, because the area I live is kind of almost the exact opposite of the likes of Salem, but I guess I've just been sensible about who I open up to and who I do not. That said, if one more person asks me about my "Star of David". . . . lol
Enjoying the Secret Circle by the way - a few factual errors, but on the whole I think they have a pretty good grasp on things, and a good strong storyline with likeable characters! :-)
Blessed Be!

That reminds me. My Jewish professor defended my Pagan faith in class. Great guy.
-- The Secret Circle - What's not to love?
Permalink Reply by Endrick on You are comparing the actual Craft with the show The Secret Circle, Really? Are you kidding me, or have you actually ever bothered to pay attention to either? A few factual errors? That is a joke honestly as they did not even adapt the show very well from the book series; much less from actual Wicca.
Does the phrase fluffy bunny mean anything to you?

Please read my profile on My_Page if you would like to know more about me and my knowledge of the "actual craft".
Furthermore, it is great that you are jumping in and participating right away.
But I would ask you to do more than criticize others and offer your own advice.
Also, reread people's comments before you make snap judgements about those comments.
If you reread my comment here, you'll find that I was actually not comparing The Secret Circle with the Craft.

I think you need to reread all the comments yourself before replying next time. Thanks for trying though. =)
Permalink Reply by John Thomas on I see. Sorry for the mistake.
"I think you need to reread all the comments yourself before replying next time. Thanks for trying though. =)"
This discussion is not a contest where we are your opponents.
Having said that, why don't you point out a few factual errors on the show. I think this will be an interesting addition to our talk.
Permalink Reply by Endrick on I already did that today with my own post, but it was deleted by admin apparently. In fact one would have to dig deep to find anything factual in either the book or television series to be honest.
Have they ever even called it Wicca in either? I honestly can't recall hearing it called such in either source though.
Permalink Reply by John Thomas on In the U.K., the books are marketed as 'The Wicca Series'.
But I do not remember reading the word Wicca in them.
I've seen up to episode 7 and also don't remember hearing the word Wicca.
The show is so ridiculously dramatic that I thought that everyone would understand that it doesn't depict modern Pagan religions.
Here's a funny observation. People die on the show every week and the children act as if nothing happened and continue to have parties. I'd be high-tailing it out of Vancouver if people started dying around me all the time.
Permalink Reply by John Thomas on A note on the moderation of this forum.
It is fairly strictly moderated.
If you want to let loose with the anger,
join me on alt.religion.wicca or alt.pagan through Google Groups for some unmoderated bashing that will refresh your soul.
Permalink Reply by Endrick on Thanks for the groups as I am looking into them now. One of them lists as being moderated. However I tend to be a tad outspoken when it comes to forums so I am going to check them out.
If you do torrents, and downloads then you can catch up on the show by the way. I can give you a link to download the eps. Message me in private about that though since we are being moderated. I do not even own a TV so that is how I have been keeping up with them myself.
Permalink Reply by Carolyn Suman on Permalink Reply by Rachael Sue Rubin on Yes my ex boyfriend. I guess it is just where you live, i live in the bible belt, and the christians here are quite verbal and sometimes violent with their remarks to anyone who is not a christian.
i have had women move their children out of my path at the mall, unreal huh?
And as for friends fearing a curse on them, all i answer is "you would think that" meaning you must not think i have any dignity, self respect, or sense of what is right and wrong.
Sometimes people are so silly and petty, like all witches do is sit around wait till midnight and call all the demons from hell to avenge us.
But the last 10 years of society it is getting better, with people learning more about wicca and witchcraft, and it being on tv alot here anymore, and then wanting to read or study it.
