Buffy' Blamed for Pagan Rise

Buffy' Blamed for Pagan Rise

Hollywood actress Sarah Michelle Gellar's hit show "Buffy The Vampire Slayer" has been blamed for 50,000 women abandoning traditional Western religion to study paganism.

According to the recent British study published in "Women and Religion in the West," young women have taken an increased interest in practicing witchcraft after Gellar's hit went mainstream.

The study's author Dr. Kristin Aune says, "Because of its focus on female empowerment, young women are attracted by Wicca, popularized by the TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." In short, women are abandoning the church."

ya know, for the last several years i've been studying wicca & paganism. (i'm not a practiser). i've studied religion for years now. ppl have no idea how interwoven they all are. all of them can actually can be traced back to the ancient egyptian myster religion(s). i found it ironic how much christianity has demonized (literally) wicca & paganism especially in the last 3-4 centuries when a lot of christian (and by extension jewish) concepts, rituals, ideas, etc come from paganism & wicca. (and like i said, back to the ancient egyptian myster religion).

Personally I always found Buffy.....uplifting

Better not look too deeply into christmas or easter... two of the most important pagan festivals of the year (spring and winter solitice)... and as for halloween, don't get me started... the Sun rocks!
