Welcome to Gaia! ::

Have any of you seen the movie "The Craft"
If so, what did you think of it?

I liked it but I think they went overboard in some parts.

I thought that some of the criticism leveled at it from the Neopagan community was a tad exaggerated. Despite the 'innacuracies' of the film, if one takes it for what it is (ie, hollywood-ized Witchcraft which means flight and fireballs), it isn't that bad. It has some decent moral lessons in it (ie, if you're in the Craft for a power trip, expect it to bite you in the a**).

I agree, but it's a movie it had to be interisting or no one would watch it.

That's what I think, it's sortof just showing a bunch of silly teenagers that are using Withcraft, a very serious thing, for completely superficial reasons, which further stereotypes the Pagan community.. that the only reason teenagers are interested in Wicca is for love spells, etc.

I'm not Wiccan, and I did come to be interested in Paganism when I was very young (even younger than a teenager) but my reasons were not what most people assume, I truly saw it as the right thing for me, since I had forever respected and cherished nature, animals, I was interested in Greek mythology and mythical creatures as a small child. I wasn't sitting there going "Maybe I'll do a love spell to make the guy I like have a crush on me!" which is what that movie makes me think.

Its an ok movie but the sad thing is people take it too seriously. Just like Charmed, people think that all that stuff is how it really is. sorry i'll stop there, is a rant i've done many times haha sweatdrop

I apologize. I'll keep that in mind.
