: : Now, if you go and call your sequel, "Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows", that's all shot to shit. The Book of Shadows is a concept only used within modern witchcraft -- basically, it's a book of various religious insight and mysteries, different groups may pass them down from generation to generation and it is rumored that the current pagan revival has its roots in a Book of Shadows given to a dude named Gerald Gardner by a group of witches who, according to Gardner, claimed to have been practicing the original British form of paganism since before the burning times.
: Kind of ironic that the group of witches in question were members of an acting troupe, isn't it? It seems that all most people know of Wicca comes from the images they have learned through television and film, beginning with the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. Years of this crap and now "Charmed". What do you think Gardner and Old Dorothy Clutterbuck would make of this?
: Just out of curiosity, which branch of Wicca do you subscribe to? Gardenerian, Alexandrian, Dianic, or some other ecclectic faith?
