When Something Good Goes BadDon't you hate it when you want to watching something on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, or some other such channel that is suppose to be seen as a source to give out credibility and truthful information to the viewers, and it is some subject of interest to you, and so you really want to watch it, but then they talk about something that you know is untrue or mention something that is not credible, and then you are just annoyed with it. For one, because now a particularly topic which you hold as important, is being misrepresented to other viewers who may not have the same background information you have and might trust the source they are watching, and two because you can no longer bare to watch it, because how can you trust anything else it says?
Well this is what happened to me. I was watching the Biography channel and first it had this thing about ghosts on which was kind of interesting but then after that it said this thing about witches was going to be on, and it was about both the history of witchcraft as well as modern day witches, so that sounded really interesting and I wanted to watch. When not 5 minutes into the show, they start interviewing Silver Raven Wolf, and talking about her coven. Now to the majority of the Pagan community and to most true Pagans, who really take their spirituality and beliefs seriously and to heart, Silver Raven Wolf is a joke, and has no credibility, and she is disliked by sincere Pagans and viewed as just trying to make money off her books, as well as seen as hypocritical in some the things she says and she is known as a "fluff bunny" a term used by Pagans often to refer to so called Wiccan's who treat Wicca more as a fad then taking it as a serious form of belief. So I was just so disgusted I could not bare to watch the rest of the show, because it instantly made the whole thing come off as cheesy and cheap. 9:32 PM - 12/25/2008 - post comment
