personally i liked the movie....but did i think it represented its subject matter ******** no.....pardon my french but no other nice way to put it....it did generate a fad.........movies have a bad habit of doing that........and it leaves many questions too much to the imagination of what's real and what's fake and to me that's just offenvise ...especially to those who practice or generally follow wiccan or other similar religions.

I totally agree with you, there is no other way to put it.

Historical note re: pop culture of Wicca/Witchcraft--

Aleister Crowley wrote a novel "Moonchild" in 1917. Crowley wrote from his own experiences and describes "methods and theories of modern magickal practices....."

I was just wondering what people thought about this movie. If you think that it's a good portrayal about "The Craft" itself, or just another movie that gives people another opinion to us as freaks.

If you thought that the movie was just about the four girls and not about "The Craft" and not displaying anything about Wicca at all?

The movie did show the basic elements that each girl had:
Sarah-Earth
Bonnie-Air
Nancy-Fire
Rochelle-Water
Each element adds to each girls' personality.

I don't know, but I personally liked the movie itself, but I think that it didnt show the real thing behind Wicca.
What do you think, and please don't flame me, it's just a thought that I've been having.

i agree with you, it was a good movie but it seemed to be more about the girl then the actaul craft.

I personally liked the movie. To me, it was entertaining. Though, I can see why some Wiccans can pissed off about it...  

[perrenthezombie]

It was a fantasy movie...the point wasn't really to tell the world that wiccans are evil. I think the reason it was at least fairly close to the actual religion is because it makes it much more interesting. More believable I guess (obviously doesn't mean that people REALLY fly around and transform, but I think you get what I mean..?)

I liked it when I was little. Still do infact. But I know better.

I just thought that I would chime in with my opinion... mrgreen
I have the movie and its a good movie as "craft" movies go but, it did give people the idea that paganism and wicca are just a game or a role play that you can do with your friends....

I don't mind that kids want to believe in things like flying and magic but it does bug me when people think we can do the things that have already been said in other peoples posts. i.e. Flying, floating, moving objects etc

I think that people (adults or teens) need to be more aware of what we are about, it would stop alot of stupid questions and prejudice.

Sorry about the rant.. now I have that off my chest, I will vote wink heart

It was unrealistic at best. It was a good movie but a bad portrayal of paganism. It did, however, illustrate that there are consequences to your decisions, even when you use magic.

Simmer down, it's just a movie.
