Since you all seem to be some legit witches and wizards
What are your thoughts on Harry Potter book and movies ?
Do you consider it Mockery or is it fun and there’s no issue
I mean you might say that’s a silly question but Harry Potter book and movie probably been seen by more than half the world if not more.
For some that’s their first intro any idea of magic ever.
Thoughts ?
Quoting: Seekingtruthandhonor Honestly? I'm on the fence. On one hand I consider them harmless children's books. I have never read them myself because I really don't care for JK Rowling. You are right that for many people that is their 'introduction' to the Craft and personally I wish it was not. I hate the fact that people take books like HP and make it into something it is not. I also hate the fact that people look at something like HP and goofy halloween costumes and stupid movies and think, this is what all those witches are about. 99% of what you see, read and hear in movies, books, in media coming from Hollywood and television is absolute garbage. But people see it and believe everything they hear and see. Especially if it fits into their preconcieved narrative. How would you feel if every halloween, there were Jesus constumes and masks and little Jesus candy bars that people handed out? I can see how the mainstream view is false. What wizards and witches do in movies doesn’t mean that’s how it is in real life Witches don’t wear grandiose clothes either (well maybe some do LOL) Also I find it cool in the books the spells are latin based. To me latin is very powerful language . Catholic mass used to be only in Latin. As to Jesus. I would love Jesus candy bars.  I don't wear the 'grandiose' outfits. I've never practiced ceremonial or high magick. Any system that imposes 'rules' without leaving any room for the self or the unique interpretation of the individual just doesn't sit well with me. I'm just a simple country witch. I do things and interpret things in my own way. I believe the Craft is most powerful when adapted by each individual to their own beliefs. The Craft doesn't have to be a set of hard and fast, must follow or die rules. As for the language, whatever you are comfortable with is fine. Words are powerful, but any language is no more or less powerful than any other. It's about your intent.
