Witches

I find this movie greatly missleading. Real witches do NOT have a Queen.

Each one of them are responsible for themselves. Plus each have gifts for both light and dark. It depends on the witch themselves (weather male or female); weather to go fully light or dark. If the witch is capable of walking that thin Grey line in between is truly able to control themselves.

There are witches who are still learning and then there are ones who refuse to stop learning. On top of everything each one of them must always practice their gifts. I am a generational witch. Which means it's part of my family. I felt different and saw things differently. I didn't know fully what I was until I asked. No one pushed me. I wanted to learn more and still do.

This movie makes it easy for some people to still be begets and it's not factual. But just one side of what a few people think. Read about WICCA or WICCAN. It is a religion not some stupid cult. We teach love, understanding, and giving back. This movie showed none of that.

It's a fantasy MOVIE. Meaning, it's NOT real. If you can make a film about REAL Wiccan practice, then go for it. Other than that you're being offended by something that is Hollywood. I don't get why people freak out over some movies. I'm sure you wanted to turn into an Avatar and go live in Pandora as well.

Well, when witches become like they are in the film, you can complain about them not having a queen. Movie witches and real life witches are two entirely different things.

I drank what?

You don't know your history. There were no wiccans as the religion you know before the 20th century. There was however the words "wikka" and later "witch"; They came about around a 1000 years ago. The words sometimes described a being that, well fits the descriptions of what we visualize on Halloween and that we saw on The wizard of oz. An old hag with a pointy hat that eats children and rides on a broom and may be in league with satan. It could also describe one that communicates with the dead or creates potions. There was no group or religions that worshipped dianna or pan or the ancient deity's.That ended with the ancient Greeks. There were no "wiccans" as you know them. For sure there were no wiccans in early America that were persecuted because of their religion - It hadn't been invented yet! They didn't come about until you guys hi-jacked the name wiccan in the 20th century. Then all of you became professional victims and claimed you were and are being victimized by these nasty portrayals. One of your respected elder wiccan,Jenny Gibbons, has come to agree with what I stated here after she did extensive historic research.

Hi. As a wiccan this nutbar does not represent us as a whole. Please disregard.
Any sane person can understand the difference between a fictional movie/book and real life.
