Obsidian's Mirror Reflections The Fictional Magic of Harry Potter |
| Yes, that dear little boy has had such a bad time and he's actually a fictional character at that. But, according to various religious groups like Christian Conservatives and the Religious Right he's introducing the children of America to the principles of Witchcraft and following Satan. |
|
And to think that some Christian writers are jealous that JK Rowling has sold as many books in the series as she has done, they are going all out and declaring that a spell has been cast to put a demon in the books themselves to allure kids into reading them. So much so that something's not right when a child will read a 300+ & 700+ over and over again. No child in their right mind would do that with a book. So, the books must be possessed.......... hehehehe......(people that make such a statement need to get a life folks). Well, if I remember correctly the same commentary was made about the movie "Dungeons & Dragons" is being made of the movie "Harry Potter" that's opening in November 2001.
First off, the Holidays that are celebrated in the books are Christian Holidays not Pagan, secondly a lot of the statements that are made that Rowling researched and pulled material from actual Witchcraft practices is not true. She has never claimed anything of that nature. If one thing could be said about the books is this, Rowling is reflecting off what she has known for many years of propaganda about Witchcraft and society's perception of it. Also, she's not a Witch herself, though she's been accused of it. So, by all means do go and enjoy the movie & books I know I will. I myself will be seeing it Nov. 16th. Take care........ Lady & Lord Bless.

| October 2, 2001 | Full Moon Our Lady will be in her third phase, totally full. This is the height of her being and fulfillment of all, as the great mother is about to give birth. Her name at this time is "Selene", and many others as per culture. | ||
| October 9, 2001 | Waning Moon: Our Lady will be in her fourth phase, in her decline. Now is the time for breaking down, destruction, doing away with what does not need to be. | ||
| October 16, 2001 | New Moon: Our Lady will be back in her first phase of being, this she is beginning anew. Her name at this time as I have to understand it, (please correct me if I am wrong) is "Green Hecate" and many others as per culture. | ||
| October 23, 2001 | Waxing Moon: Our Lady will be in her second phase waxing, thus she is building energy and focusing it for whatever need arises. Her name at this time is "Diana", and many others as per culture. | ||

Samhain |
| Is Is it a new year already? For most Pagans, Samhain is seen as the New Year. The final harvest is completed and we enter the darkness as daylight becomes shorter and shorter until Yule. The veil between the worlds is thinnest at this time of year as we remember those who have passed over in the previous year. We may mourn, but we also celebrate because death is not an end, it is simply a part of the cycle of life. Samhain is a powerful time of year and we hope that you have a happy and blessed new year!!!! |
