Personally, I am offended by the “NOTE:” that you lump all young teens into the group of Hollywood wannabe witches. I found paganism when I was 12 years old. I am now 21 and not once did I ever take it in a Hollywood manner. I’ve studied nonstop since 12 years old and I have even brought my own Mother into it. The lessons she taught me all these years have always rang true to Paganism without her ever even knowing it. And I think it is unfair to label most teens as going about it in the wrong way. I feel that the teens who do go about it wrong will find their way. And if not, then it is not our right to judge them, we ask not to be judged by stereotypes so why wouldn’t we give that same respect to all others. Give people a chance. The truth will be found, even if that means going through it the wrong way to come out on the other side with a true understanding of Pagan beliefs. I understand your frustration in the matter, truly I do. It just seems unfair to label nearly all teens as such. I do have to say as I part, I did enjoy the article above the “NOTE:” very much. Thank you!!

ahh yes harry potter and the charmed ones gotta love hollywood but at least harry and the sisters arent as bad an influence as the craft or the convenet, the witches of east wick. my early role models were windy the good little witch and glenda the good witch of the north, they at least put out there the ideal that not all that practiced the craft were bad also sabrina the teen age witch and samantha of bewitched.some how we need more positive and accurate role models for the kids, a safe place to learn, and a way to weed out the wanna bes
