Mystics, Mages, and Magical Places 11/20/2023:

The 33rd episode of Mystics, Mages, and Magical Places with Reverend Art, Reverend James and returning guest Papa Gee, bringing you "Witchcraft and Magic in Pop Culture!"

Mystics, Mages, and Magical Places will be on the air at 4pm PT, 7pm ET with Reverend Art, Reverend James and returning guest Papa Gee! We begin this show with an update from our guest followed by a discussion on how popular culture portrays witchcraft, its accuracy, and more.

In the enchanted realm of pop culture, Witchcraft and Magic have cast an irresistible spell, weaving their mystique into the very fabric of our entertainment landscape. From bewitching blockbusters like "Practical Magic" to the spellbinding allure of TV series like "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina," the fascination with the arcane is more potent than ever. It's not just about cauldrons and broomsticks; it's a cultural phenomenon that taps into our collective yearning for the extraordinary. Instagram is awash with modern-day spellcasters sharing their #WitchyWednesday rituals, while TikTok is under the enchantment of mesmerizing magic tutorials. Whether it's the resurgence of tarot card readings, the rise of crystal enthusiasts, or the empowerment movement embodied by the term "witchy feminism," Witchcraft and Magic are not just potions in a cauldron; they're the alchemy that transforms our mundane lives into something extraordinary. So, grab your wand, don your favorite pointed hat, and join the magical revolutionโ€”because in this bewitched era, the line between fantasy and reality is as elusive as a disappearing rabbit in a magician's hat!

The marvelous Papa Gee is back in the studio this week as we explore the role of pop culture and its influence on the magical community!

2023-11-20 19:24 trollt This is an age-old Christian ideology.

2023-11-20 19:25 trollt People then later advocated "what witches really do" (Ferrars, et al, Gardner, etc.)
2023-11-20 19:25 reverendjames oh! Halloween Town movies!
2023-11-20 19:25 trollt The real controversy is Pagan vs. Witch

2023-11-20 19:30 reverendjames Oh - Eve's Bayou that was really interesting and quite factual (obviously to a point)
2023-11-20 19:30 trollt I read the book; it was a fictional drama with some reflections off of religiomagic events and phenomena.
2023-11-20 19:33 trollt Practical Magic!!!
2023-11-20 19:33 trollt I've seen that many many times.

2023-11-20 19:35 reverendjames lol
2023-11-20 19:36 trollt In some ways that was a cautionary tale, as are many magic-involved tales.
2023-11-20 19:36 reverendjames wasn't it "I want him to miss me so bad it hurts"?
2023-11-20 19:38 reverendjames Warbles!
2023-11-20 19:38 reverendjames Ok clear
2023-11-20 19:39 phyllismargretgabor i saw one that said, "when you ask your cards for the millionth time, is he the one?"
2023-11-20 19:39 phyllismargretgabor NO
2023-11-20 19:39 phyllismargretgabor LOL
2023-11-20 19:39 rev_art I think that was it, lol
2023-11-20 19:40 trollt For decades movies and books were ONLY about cautionary tales, from Faust onward.
2023-11-20 19:40 trollt It was only as a result of promotions people invented the advocation as part of their spirituality and spellcraft. We've been helped tremendously by anthropologists.
2023-11-20 19:41 phyllismargretgabor the craft was a big movie for me as a teen
2023-11-20 19:41 tiegav i liked the craft
2023-11-20 19:42 reverendjames I had to look up her deck - https://truehearttarot.com/
2023-11-20 19:42 trollt I've enjoyed many horror films, including Pagan horror, like The Craft
2023-11-20 19:42 phyllismargretgabor the binding spell always seemed ok
2023-11-20 19:43 reverendjames I've used that @phyllismargretgabor!
2023-11-20 19:43 reverendjames Worked for me lol.
2023-11-20 19:43 phyllismargretgabor @reverendjames oh that's awesome
2023-11-20 19:44 trollt There are many magic-horror films; some of them draw on demonic sources.
2023-11-20 19:44 trollt I got a DVD composition of "Charmed" which was liked their grimoire/book of shadows.
2023-11-20 19:44 heidiholtonhoodoo Byeeeee! Love you!!!
2023-11-20 19:44 phyllismargretgabor the VVitch is a good example of that

2023-11-20 19:46 tiegav yay @reverendjames
2023-11-20 19:47 phyllismargretgabor she's Peggy Hill LOL
2023-11-20 19:47 trollt Druidry was an interesting post-masonic ritualistic ceremonialism dramatizing pre-Christian peoples (Celtic priests). Like Gnostics, and 'magicians' these derive from accusatory campaigns first, then become something "real" by rebellious promotions.
2023-11-20 19:48 trollt Right Rev. James, the Neo-Pagan element is reflected pretty clearly.
2023-11-20 19:48 phyllismargretgabor i just watched Drag Me to Hell. it's fun
2023-11-20 19:49 trollt That's what magic is primarily about: crossing outside of one's culture to exoticism and exotic deviance.
2023-11-20 19:49 trollt This is the origin of 'magic' per se, which was described of Persian priests (the magi)
2023-11-20 19:49 tiegav that and a seance
2023-11-20 19:50 phyllismargretgabor i can't believe that's not already a movie on Tubi LOL
2023-11-20 19:50 reverendjames @phyllismargretgabor โ€“ Iโ€™mโ€™a be honest I didn't know that, and I've seen every episode of King of the Hill
2023-11-20 19:51 phyllismargretgabor @reverendjames I like her a lot and I'm a huge cartoon nerd. it's funny huh?
2023-11-20 19:51 trollt Compare The Witches of Eastwick and Fowler's The Magus or the various accounts of Dracula and his vampiresses.
2023-11-20 19:51 phyllismargretgabor they use dolls too in witches of Eastwick
2023-11-20 19:52 trollt Many pop magicians and witches have used dolls.
2023-11-20 19:52 trollt Even Bewitched and some of the old films.
2023-11-20 19:54 phyllismargretgabor did they use sex magic too? it's been a while since I have watched a Witches of Eastwick
2023-11-20 19:55 trollt Charmed was on the heels of Buffy for their content
2023-11-20 19:55 trollt Fewer vampires.
2023-11-20 19:55 trollt Fewer Hellgates
2023-11-20 19:56 tiegav they used blood and food magick in Witches of Eastwick
2023-11-20 19:58 trollt Quite a bit of what comes from Christianity, Islam, and Neo-Paganism is orthodoxy.
2023-11-20 19:58 phyllismargretgabor i know it's not necessary witches but i enjoy America Gods
2023-11-20 19:58 trollt I.e. The Right Way to do things. It is not what you were told by our competitors.
2023-11-20 19:58 trollt Good comparison, Papa Gee.
2023-11-20 19:59 trollt Fiction and imagination coming into being because of an interest in rebellion.
2023-11-20 19:59 phyllismargretgabor American Gods was one of the first times I saw Slavic mythology on screen
2023-11-20 20:00 trollt What's that weird sound?
2023-11-20 20:01 trollt Now not happening. I watched both and VERY faithfully; collected them.
2023-11-20 20:01 phyllismargretgabor i just gasp at that. I'm all buffy

2023-11-20 20:03 phyllismargretgabor I love Eva Green. she is fantastic
2023-11-20 20:04 trollt Now you're talking: The Wicked Witches of Baum; the magic of Oz is keen. I've enjoyed the re-embedments of Elphaba and Maleficent.
2023-11-20 20:04 trollt (Wicked, Maleficent respectively).

2023-11-20 20:06 trollt Harry Potter was all WANDS.

2023-11-20 20:06 reverendjames TRUE
2023-11-20 20:08 trollt The hero valence compounds the reference in identifying: are witches made or born? Same is true of many religious identifiers.
2023-11-20 20:08 reverendjames I confess I do love Freddy
2023-11-20 20:08 phyllismargretgabor my image is from a satanic movie called The VVitch. it's good if no one has seen it

2023-11-20 20:20 trollt Yes that's it!
2023-11-20 20:21 trollt Nicole Kidman was The Evil Witch, "Lamia"
2023-11-20 20:22 trollt Oh sorry.
2023-11-20 20:22 trollt I thought it was Kidman.
2023-11-20 20:22 trollt Right, suggested but not chosen.
2023-11-20 20:22 trollt Robert DeNiroโ€™s character was the best in the film, however.
2023-11-20 20:23 trollt Bell Book and Candle, EXCELLENT
2023-11-20 20:23 trollt See "I Married a Witch" after that too.
2023-11-20 20:23 wickwayisup My Favorite
2023-11-20 20:23 trollt That's the essential / chosen; role versus species.
2023-11-20 20:24 trollt Are witches different than humans (wizards/muggles)? Or are they professionals.
2023-11-20 20:24 trollt Warlock! Yay! Sorcerers!
2023-11-20 20:25 trollt No, I wasn't talking about a film, I was talking about the controversy about the term.
2023-11-20 20:25 reverendjames Oh! Thinner! Gypsy Magic!
2023-11-20 20:25 trollt I.e. there's a HUGE debate/spat about that term in Wicca/Witchcraft/magic circles.
2023-11-20 20:25 trollt Are they "male witches"? Or are they "Pagan traitors"?
2023-11-20 20:26 reverendjames 1 min to end music
2023-11-20 20:26 reverendjames YES!
2023-11-20 20:26 trollt Again, the Pagan vs witches thematics; got right/got wrong - are they representational?
2023-11-20 20:27 phyllismargretgabor Midsommor is my favorite version of The Wicker Man
2023-11-20 20:27 trollt History? Original author material? Subversion ideology-reflective? What decides the truism?
2023-11-20 20:28 trollt Fun-packed episode!
2023-11-20 20:28 trollt Thanks.
2023-11-20 20:28 papagee I liked this episode!
