(More customer reviews)Q: What does popular juvenile fantasy series "Harry Potter" have to do with Witchcraft?
A: Absolutely nothing.
While the writers/directors *are* correct that "Young readers today, more than any other time in history, have an abundance of occult resources easily available to them" these rescources have mostly to do with harmless Neo-Pagan Wicca books like "Teen Witch" "To Ride A Silver Broomstick" or "To Stir A Magic Cauldron." The "Harry Potter" series has about as much to do with *actual* occult practices as the old "Dungeons & Dragons" game: that is to say, NONE. Fantasy giants, magic wands, unicorns, dragons, and Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are wonderful fantasies for children, and great stuff for Hollywood Movies, but that is all they are. Real Witches are nothing like the characters in these books, the real studying and work that a Ceremonial Magician does in Gematria, Numerology, Astrology, and their correspondences in Gems, Minerals, Incenses, etc. to perform a Magickal Working are hardly child's play. The writers/producers of this video are woefully ignorant of what a real Witch does, or the difference between a Witch and a Wiccan, or a Wiccan and a Ceremonial Magician, or of the Left Hand Path vs. the Right Hand Path. Many Solomanic and Goetic Magicians are actually Christians and Jews. Not "Pagan" at all, and certainly not "evil." The idiotically simplistic thought processess that link "Occult" with "Evil" with "Satan" are exactly the same sort of moronic Fundamentalism that caused the Witch Hysteria of the 17th Century, and the "Satanic Panic" of the l980's and 90's.
