Seeing the Goddess in the Media Witches
So let start this blog off on a good and interesting footing.
Witches have not always received good press and even today the medias portray witches as hags, super powered women or loony old bats dancing naked in the moon. Many [wikipedia]pagans [/wikipedia] get irate when they see these images and see them as a personal attack on themselves and forget to see them as just a bit of entertainment. Not one of the shows / documentaries I have every seen has ever made me feel like what I believe in is wrong in most cases I really enjoy them.
I do have one pet peeve and that is documentaries if I happen to be watching them with non-pagan friends as I feel that I have to apologise and have to explain what the editing has left out.
But things like [wikipedia]Charmed [/wikipedia], [wikipedia] Eastwick [/wikipedia] and the [wikipedia]Wizard of Oz [/wikipedia] etc in fact I often find them sources of inspiration for [wikipedia]spell [/wikipedia] or [wikipedia]ritual. [/wikipedia]
So let look at the media view and how I see it:-
The hag witch like [wikipedia]grotbags [/wikipedia], the [wikipedia]wicked witch of the west [/wikipedia], [wikipedia]witchiepoo [/wikipedia] which when we look truly at the aspect of the goddess as the [wikipedia]crone [/wikipedia] haggard by age out cast wise and cruel very much like the hag witches on TV,
The supper power uber witch like willow, the charmed sisters, [wikipedia]Samantha Stevens [/wikipedia] look closely and you will see the mother aspect in each of the caring, protective, loving and deadly when crossed the [wikipedia]mother goddess [/wikipedia] is a super power the life bringer the protect.
And finally those moon dancing loony ladies yes we all have seen them and cringed often thinking does the fire make my ass look that big, but we fail to see maiden aspect in these loony Luna ladies you see them on those cheap documentaries babbling rubbish getting it all wrong having fun and learning Just like a [wikipedia]maiden goddess [/wikipedia].
I remember that Janet and [wikipedia]Stewart Farrar [/wikipedia] said that the divine form was like a diamond with many faces and if you only ever looked at one part of it you would miss the true beauty of the divine. I have also learned that the goddess and god can be seen in everything.
There buy drugs online are many things in this life that are worth getting upsetting over and with deeper understanding you will find that every action has a purpose, a reason and the correct outcome.
So the next time you see a witch on TV see if you can find the goddess that will inspire a person to seek her out.
