Out of the (Broom) Closet ~ Does Stevie Nicks Have It Right?

Bewitched aired in 1964 Of course by the time I was old enough to watch it the show was in syndication. I love that show! 
Sam's sister Serena, mother Endora, and who can forget her father Maurice? 




Uncle Arthur was my favorite!
  

Charmed aired in 1998  Don't care. Didn't watch it and never will.

 Since then there have been several movies about witches. Witches of Eastwick (one of my all time favorites), Practical Magic, The Craft...too many to list.

 The fascination with witches and witchcraft is centuries old. It has seen some dark times. Salem Witch Hunts for example. Innocents burned at the stake for being witches. Heretics if you will.

 Today, well today the television is filled with shows about modern day witches. 

 Witches of East End-Lifetime's answer to what happened to the girls from Charmed. Have I seen it? No. Will I? No.

 Then there is.....
American Horror Story's Coven.

 The 'White Witch' herself, Stevie Nicks, made a guest appearance. For years it has be rumored that Ms. Nicks is indeed a witch. She publicly came out and denied the rumors. Now, while I would never call out Ms. Nicks for being a liar, she does possess an element of enchantment. What caught my attention was when she asked the interviewer if it would matter if the rumors were true. 

 Ya, it would.

Our society, as "progressive" as we may think, has proven time and time again to be the opposite. 

 Bigotry still reigns true for culture, sexual orientation, and spiritual views. Just because witchcraft is all the rage right now doesn't mean it is accepted. It's being glamorized. Entertainment. 

 While others are coming out of the "broom" closet daily proclaiming their freedom of religion and dispelling (pun intended) the misconceptions of witches, is it wise? 

Intense silence
As she walked in the room
Her black robes trailing
Sister of the moon

And a black widow spider makes
More sound than she
And black moons in those eyes of hers
Made more sense to me

Heavy persuasion
It was hard to breathe
She was dark at the top of the stairs
And she called to me

And so I followed as friends often do
I cared not for love nor money
And I think she knew
Well, the people, they love her
And still they are the most cruel

She asked me, "Be my sister
Sister, sister of the moon"

Some call her sister of the moon
Some say, illusions are her game
They like to wrap her in velvet
Does anyone, ooh, know her name?


~ Fleetwood Mac/Sisters of the Moon

Because I can

How often do we hear that today? "Because I can."  It explains the attitudes of people today. This post kind of ties into the one I did last week. Being mean on the Internet.  This attitude has dug deep in today's society. We are empowered to do whatever we want, only God can judge us, YOLO... You may be asking yourself, "well, what is wrong with that outlook?" I'm not sure there is anything "wrong" but there should be a limit to this way of thinking. We all need to remember what we do does in fact effect those around us. It doesn't matter if we even know them. I'm not talking about being offended. I have a whole other post coming out about being offended.  Let's take the term YOLO for a minute. You Only Live Once. No, you live everyday. You die once. So those crazy things you do because you can, you will have to live with the consequences later. It's not like trying something new like water skiing. People are doing horrible o

Capricorn ~ The Goat December 22 - January 20 This zodiac sign is a sign of stability, calmness, and maturity. Individuals born under this sign are typically not risk takers. They are kind and considerate but will flip out on you in a flash. The tarot for Capricorn is The Devil. Symbol of control and addiction. Okay.... Capricorn Women are traditional in most aspects of their life. Stubborn and rarely can be lead in a different direction. Sexually they are, well lets just say after she sheds that business suit and sensible undies... watch out! It's on like Donkey Kong! Capricorn Men are typically conservative and follow the rules. They tend to be "loners" or have few in their circles. Some have the appearance of being cold and emotionally aloof, but it is more of a defense tactic. They take love seriously and are not usually players or cheaters. In the bedroom they are surprisingly "effective". They "bring it" so to speak. Go Capricorns

B ~ Beetlejuice

Before Winona Ryder hit the Stranger Things scene and Alec Baldwin finding his muse in Donald Trump, they were rocking Harry Belafonte in Tim Burton's, Beetlejuice. Oh, Gena Davis was there too. Beetlejuice was released in 1988 and became an instant hit - launching its own animated series. And, there are rumors of a remake or sequel sometime in the future. Make it happen, Hollywood! If you didn't have a fascination with death, you did after watching this movie. Okay, I did/do. I even have my own copy of the handbook so I'm prepared. Yet, I am still hesitant in saying Beetlejuice 3xs. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... nah. You first. Are you a fan? Tell me your favorite scene/s in the comments below. See you tomorrow for "C"
