📹 REEL NIGHTMARE: BOOK OF WITCHCRAFT 🎬 Full Exclusive Horror Movie Premiere 🎬 English HD 2023
Title: REEL NIGHTMARE: BOOK OF WITCHCRAFT Summary: Three beautiful, vengeful witches awakened by an ancient book, …
Manon was created for the film. But there is a strange on set story I read about the cast speaking of. In the scene where the girls call the quarters they were on a beach (obviously) and the tides got very active and the weather kicked up (like storming). The witchcraft advisor stated that she believed that it may have been due to the fact that Manon sounds very close to Manannan, who is an Irish God of water! I found that story super fascinating, as it crossed over between the film and real world practice!
Fun fact #1 In the scene where they called the quarters and invoked Manon, the girls indeed seemed to raise up energy, whether intentionally or unintentionally, as the shooting of this scene was troubled by sudden tides flooding the circle and halting production. Fun Fact #2 Fairuza Balk, who plays Nancy, was already a practitioner during filming. She ended up buying and owning the magic shop seen in the movie.
Another interesting point (Spoiler to a nearly 30 year old film): It is implied that Sarah is essentialy an energetic battery. The other 3 girls never had any successful workings until she came along, and they all kind of fed off of her, and it is even evident near the ending that all except Sarah lost their power. Them being deprived of it had nothing to do with practicing for selfish ends, more with them simply leeching off of her.
Regarding Rochelle’s spell – When her spell was cast it was specified that nothing bad would happen to her bully as long as she didn’t bully Rochelle. The angle was that harm she inflicted emotionally on Rochelle would manifest physically on her – Her spell was a kind of reflection spell. And while it was really bad, did weirdly seem to have a positive impact. Her friends didn’t abandon the bully, and she also tried to talk to Rochelle with more kindness / no antagonism at the party later (Although Rochelle blew her off due to… well, all the things). It was not a kind result at all, so in the morality of the film it was a bad spell, but I like the way that spell was cast, and that the result, while rough as hell, did appear to force some introspection and a positive change in the bully.
I think the reason their spells manifested the way they did was because their magick sensed their true intentions- even if they themselves did not. They had valid reasons to want what they did, but they cast those spells with feelings of anger, revenge, etc. So the magick was like- oh I gotchu girl. Just how I’ve always seen it. But omg thank you for this. I will forever love the Craft. I had my own version of this lil teen coven in highschool and ugh my heart. I gotta go rewatch it now lol
I’d always understood that Sara was the only one who actually had any magic on her and the others ended up having that power ‘reflected’ on them due to being prt of her coven But then that possibility was removed from them due to that power being misused And Sara never lost any power because it emanated from her to begin with
This was the first ‘witchy’ movie I watched after I discovered Wicca & took some basic classes. I was a young adult who had just left my fundie upbringing & I couldn’t believe all of this existed. It was really exciting to see it on the big screen in a representation that, for the first time I knew, mirrored what actual witches did. I also learned a few things that I picked up for my craft, esp the binding spell. The next movie that had this kind of impact on me was Practical Magic. They helped me open up my view of the world and seek out new ideas & thoughts in witchcraft, spirituality, deities and other religions. I think I need to watch The Craft again now to see what I see different from an old crone’s eyes. *cackle*
I was 14 years old when this came out and I remember how much the older witches in AOL witchcraft chats were SO mean to me because they all hated this movie, the “trend” it caused, and especially Silver RavenWolf books. I remember being terrified to admit I liked The Craft. So people have been assholes since the Dawn of time if anyone’s wondering 😂
Personally I absolutely love The Craft, I watch it every Imbole and every Beltane, with a bottle of consecrated cabernet sauvignon of course lol. Fairuza Balk was just outstanding and she even said in an interview that she was basically an atheist before studying and practicing wicca, but was proven wrong when she experienced things that were otherworldly and supernatural. I also love Robin Tunney, Neve Campbell and of course Rachel True. They all had excellent chemistry and this movie was truly magical because it was filmed in the 90s. I was only 7 in 1996 so I am a true 90’s kid haha. I have also shown this movie to several friends and they have all loved it.
This movie is such a classic. I would like to add one more thing. It’s important to take care when invoking or evoking spirits or entities regardless of which tradition. Without proper understanding and protection, these practices CAN be dangerous. They can be unsettling and indeed cause psychological distress. Nancy was warned but she didn’t listen.
hi, i’m 45 and i saw this movie 3 times in the theater back in the 90s as a teen already studying wicca (ie reading ALL the scott cunningham – it was a diff time then – dont judge!), even saw it on prom night cause i was a dateless wonder. i went to the theater to forget about…everything – but i digress although some do pan this movie – it was very influential to me and one thing i wanted to point out was the subtext of Sarah being a ‘generational’ witch whos powers were implied to be inherited from her mother who died in childbirth and the plot has her character ‘grow’ into her powers as opposed to the other three kinda wanna-be witches who didnt have power at all until she rocked up. thank as always providing wonderful commentary and context that i never even considered perusal the film about the elemental symbiology of the characters, bonnie’s burns – fire, rochelle’s swimming water, for example and even though the movie was a blatant star vehicle for Neve Campbell’s career – she was a lead role on Party of Five a popular fox drama at the time…. the movie was pivotal in all the co-stars careers. and so on… but i can go on FOREVER, but if any of you havent followed Rachel True on social media or checked out her tarot deck she produced, YOU SHOULD. and Fairuza Balk goes without saying cause she was the real deal off camera anyways. Much Love Yall
My late husband was pretty knowledgeable about this stuff (I just had a passing interest, though I love this movie). He’d tell me the movie was like five degrees off accurate. Close, but not quite to a point where he thought it was intentional. More than enough to get someone interested, but not so accurate that people could do stuff beyond what they understood.
Funny enough: Fun Fact: The ritual they did in various parts and ways is the First Degree initiation Rite/Ceremony From the Gardnerian Tradition. This is From the First initiation degree: “O thou who standest on the threshold between the pleasant world of men and the dread domains of the lords of the outer spaces, hast thou the courage to make the assay?” (Place point of the Magic Sword or Athame to Postulant’s heart.) “For I say verily it were better to rush on my blade and perish than to make the attempt with fear in thy heart.” Postulant: “I have two perfect words: perfect love, and perfect trust.”
ngl this movie was my intro to the craft. I was 16 when it dropped and saw it with my two besties in HS. We started practising and after opening our coven, the walk from the park back to my house. I will never forget we were guided the entire way home, every 3rd driveway there was a cat sitting at the end of the drive. We passed by at least thirteen cats on the way home, and when we got back my mum’s cat was waiting for us at the drive and walked us up the drive and into the house. I have never forgotten that. I’ve been a practising witch since then. I always tell people I started for all the wrong reasons, but I stayed for all the right ones.
I am of this generation – coming of age (late teens/early twenties) – finding Witchcraft, first books (Cunningham/Ravenwolf, etc) – and eventually a community. Many of my friends are actually more fond of Practical Magic (if you have never read the book, I recommend) but we were so happy to just see representation and a not complete witchcraft=devil worship, and this was fun.
I had been interested in and studying the craft prior to the films release (I was in high school at the time). While I understood it’s a fictional account it was still a catalyst for me to further my studies and practices. I found it very powerful to see it being portrayed in popular culture instead of in shadows. It was something that some friends and I became very involved with and cemented our little coven – we all still gather regularly in our practices
The craft is one of my favourite films so I found this very interesting, thank you. I grew up in the 90s and loved the variety of witchy resources in shops. I suggest practical magic, willow from Buffy the vampire slayer and the original charmed (the first 3 seasons have more witchcraft in them than seasons 4 -8).
I also read that ‘Manon’ was a fictional deity created for the film because I think they attempted to petition another popular deity – I’m imagining Hekate or Odin or something but weird stuff started to occur on set – so they invented Manon. But I also read that there was some speculation, in addition to the Mabon idea, that Manon may have been based on the Irish Sea God Manannán mac Lir – which would make sense considering they attempt to evoke the spirit at the sea. It may have been a blog on Patheos that explored the Manannan mac Lir discourse but yes so interesting! 😊Xx
this movie defines gave me the ‘witches call’ i started practicing at 13 and then put it down, only practicing here and there for about 20 years and this past decade i’ve developed my own regular practice again where I incorporate witchcraft daily. u have such a great way of explaining everything. ur def my go to for enhancing my witchcraft knowledge quickly
I grew up in the 90’s. Such an awesome time and I was glad to have been a teen then. I thought the movie was kind of corny but I still liked it. I like your website. It reminds me of being that age again. I practiced Wicca. I grew up being very connected to nature. I was lucky to live in a gorgeous area in southwestern Pennsylvania called the Laurel Highlands. So Wicca naturally attracted me. My spirituality has evolved into sort of my own over the years but I still consider myself a witch and I still work with herbs and I still talk to the fae and the moon and all of that. Enjoy this time in your life and keep doing what you do.
Although I didn’t really like the movie that much when I watched it, it’s super cool they included so many aspects and even complete rituals and spells that are true to real life and practice! I always love these kinds of articles from you, because it’s such a fun way of sharing your vast knowledge with us and at the same time gives me a new perspective on the shows and a new appreciation for them. AND I’m learning a lot! 🙌 So thank you for sharing, as always! 🖤🤗
I love this movie! It was such an inspiration to me, sneakily perusal it as a kid where my parents couldn’t see. It’s got such a powerful and iconic aesthetic, but so much of it is spot on (or at least based in actual practice) that we couldn’t ask for a better gateway movie for the witchily curious. I’m not and never have been Wiccan, my path lies elsewhere, but the glimmer and flames and sparkles, and the excitement the girls felt as they learned what they were capable of doing – it’s a dream of what drew so many of us to our own crafts. Especially, as you said, in the 90s, when resources and information were so few and hard to find. I’m not sure if anyone else mentioned it, but Rochelle’s actress, Rachel True, is a practicing witch with her own podcast and tarot empire. Excellent to see. 🙂
I’ve always wanted to be a witch since I was young (every Halloween; Mom: What do you want to be? Me: a witch) The Craft really got me more interested and then Practial Magic with Sandra Bullock locked me in (there is a movie called practical magic with a young Ryan Renyolds set in Paris, Ontario, that’s why I specify). Then, reading more and more I’m finding the right path for me.
Pat Devin who was a “Dianic Elder Priestess and a member of Coven Ashesh Hekat, as well as Public Information Officer of Covenant of the Goddess, Southern California Local Council.” was the witch they hired to be a technical advisor to make sure the movie had some accurate and appropriate information.
Thank you SO much for covering this movie! I squealed when I got the notification 🤣 I was around 12/13 when I saw this movie and I. Was. Obsessed. Of course as a young girl in the 90s my interest in witchcraft was growing and I couldn’t believe this movie existed. I loved that her name was Sarah like me! Hehe. The beach scene is my favorite. I loved that they were using the power of the storm 🖤 ugggghhhh it’s so good and so nostalgic for me. And I’m sorry but I kind of love when Nancy throws Chris out the window, just gonna say it 😆
Well certainly Practical Magic would also be a good film to review. Perhaps Chronicle would also be fun to compare against The Craft, as it’s (at a basic level) a similar plot with boys instead of girls. It’s not so much about witchcraft like the Craft is, more along the “a group of kids get magic powers and then chaos ensues because the abused one loses it” line.
To note, there’s also another binding spell though not mentioned in the movie, it’s very similar in structure as the one with the white ribbon, except you use cord and knot it (just make sure to set the intention that you’re binding them to the cord, not yourself. In any binding, in any spell for that matter, be sure to be precise in your wording.)
Just want to point out that Rochelle’s spell very specifically says that it will only do anything at all to her bully IF her bully harms her first. It’s a protection spell. I think there’s a very strong argument that, although the spell did cause harm, it wasn’t TO cause harm. Even Nancy’s spell is to protect her from abuse, and though of course I don’t condone the outcome, I don’t think she specifically intended to kill him. I actually consider Sarah’s spell the worst. The others are all some kind of healing or protective spells; hers is just revenge.
Something you said about the shop keep made me come up with a conspiracy theory: you know how you go into a shop mystic shop and there are signs saying “steal at your own risk karma is real” or something like that. What if all the problematic things that happened to them were results of the shop keeper! They did use all the stolen goods in their rituals. Out of the 4 only one was able to keep her powers because she was honest and the shop keeper admired that! 🤯🤯🤯
Hello I just found your chanel today and saw your take on The Craft. At the time the movie was released I was 24 going on 25, had been part of a Coven for 7 years and had been practicing the Craft since before Kindergarten. When the movie was anounced the Coven dug up everything we could find on it. We also found about the shooting of the summoning and the problems they had with the weather and tides. The one rumor that we heard was that the movie had among there crew a Wiccan as there adviser and that this person played the part of the shop keeper. The part of the shop keeper was infact played by actress Assumpta Serna and i have not been able to find any confirmation. When the movie was released our coven went together and watched it, afterwards we had pizza and picked the movie apart and where very pleased with everything they had in it. I will add we did hear of another rummor about the movie having a second ending and that was where they got together and did a healing for nancy. All that being said thank you for your chanel and I look forward to perusal your other posts.
I’m still in the midst of perusal this article so I apologize if I mention anything you’ve already touched on, but yay! I’m such a fan of this film and I’m so glad you’re doing a different take on a reaction article on movies based in magic. I’m not a practicing witch or Wiccan as I’m a Christian and my foundational beliefs that I practice don’t intersect in a way where I would practice both but I do have a deep love and respect for others and what they believe and practice and witchcraft and Wicca has helped me better understand and walk out my beliefs or understand the energies floating around my environment as I’ve watched your website. Sometimes I just better understand things told from a completely different point of view & you totally help me with that. I’m so looking forward to seeing more as The Craft isn’t my only fave film/show. I watch Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, & Angel (religiously)😜as well. If anything, I think it’d be interesting as you continue this series to hear how YOU would cast a spell or what you would do differently in certain scenes shown. I would definitely love to hear your opinion on The Craft Legacy as the tone of the film is completely different than the original. I’d also love to hear your thoughts on The Magicians as well. Their take on magic was totally different than what I’ve seen depicted in film. It’s definitely a refreshing take on it but I’m not sure what it’s based on aside from the book I’ve heard about. Please keep up the great work!
Omg, this was so much fun!🤩 It takes me back! Thank you!💕 I was so looking forward to this.🙂 So for me, this movie was my first introduction to witchcraft, and I was hooked!! Looking back now, it really is indeed, like you said, heavily wiccan influenced, but I guess in that time wicca was more or less synonymous with witchcraft. I totally agree with the first half being slightly better than the second half of the movie. The end was a bit too “hollywoody spectacle” for my taste, and perhaps a little moralistic. But overall I have to say, I think it is still the most authentic witchy film ever made then or since, exactly because of including actual ritual practices true to form. What I also got from the storyline as a central theme, is that Sarah differs from the other three girls in that she is a “natural witch” just like her mother was, and maybe that’s also the reason why she at the end still has her powers. But this remains a bit unclear to me. I also get the impression that the fact that the spells spiral so much out of control is for the sake of the story and trying to add to the thrill of the movie. I don’t believe that if you cast a spell mindfully and properly, things would get out of hand so badly. It doesn’t make sense, especially from an energetic point of view. I haven’t seen the film in a long time, and I really enjoyed this article! If you’re planning to make one about Charmed or Practical Magic, then Yessss please! Would love that❤
As someone of this movie’s target demo when it came out — I’d already been “dabbling” and at that point one of the first things the store staff would recommend at any “occult” book store to someone coming in wanting to know “where to start” would be the Witch’s Almanac. So for anyone already taking those early steps into those shops would’ve recognized that book and it would’ve been an instant “ooh they know their stuff” moment. Also, I feel like Rochelle and Bonnie’s wishes weren’t bad. And I’m OK with Rochelle’s bully paying the way she did — if that horrible girl would’ve left Rochelle alone, her hair wouldn’t have fallen out.
If I remember correctly, the scene where Sarah casts her love spell was actually cut from the movie. I feel like Sarah was the only character with any substantial “magical power’s”. She was the one who plucked the hair from the bullies head and braided it into Rochelle’s hair. She was the one who performed Reiki healing on Bonnie. Sarah was also able to balance a pencil on its tip and make it rotate before ever joining the girls. She never helped Nancy. Nancy was finally able to cast after the girls invoked Manon into her. At the end when Manon “left” her, Nancy went back to being a muggle like Bonnie and Rochelle.
This is super interesting. The Athame is very similar a Thai magic “Meed moh” lit.witch doctor knife. It is used invoke protection against negative energy and black magic. Thailand is mainly Buddhist, but indigenous animism and magic are woven into our culture. My father gave me a “doctor’s knife” when I told him of certain things I was experiencing. He instructed me about how to invoke its powers with one warning, he said “it is used ONLY to invoke protection, never use it to evoke harm. For the power protects will turn and harm the one who desires malice onto others.” I use to clear negative energy and create barriers of protection wherever I live.
Yeah the movie tried to go out of the way but to use any real deity names but after filming someone found a similar deity (I can’t remember if it was mannon or mammon) who was a harvest deity. I like to read the behind the scenes and the invocation scene storm was real, and the bit where the tide comes up real close to the circle but not breaking it really made me think.
I am so happy to hear that there are real witchcraft movies and tv shows in production. Thank you for sharing that. Do you have more info on what these are or when they are coming out? I do hope our community receives them well. It must be discouraging when there is such a rejection, such as in the case of the remake for Charmed. We need/want new material that does not vilify witchcraft.
I was looking for a article on this movie 😊. I just rewatched the movie from when I last watched it with my grandma under 10 years old 😂. When I watch it now I see it differently and when they did certain things I said to myself “this is real witchcraft! The woman part of this production was said to be a real priestess.
Theres a deleted scene in which Bonnie and Rochelle agree wirh Sarah to bind Nancy, however Nancy shows up and threatens them. This explains why Rochelle and Bonnie also turned against Sarah even though Sarah didn’t try to bind them. Bonnie and Rochelle went against Sarah because they were scared of Nancy, not because they wanted to harm Sarah. They even apologized to her in the end for the trouble they caused.
I love that film. I’m a witch who has taken the left hand path. I don’t work with the rule of 3. But I do think that balance is still involved in some aspects of what i do. So some times i will have to think about how can i balance the spell out. So say if i have to take something i then have to give something. I am glad that I’ve come across ur website cos I think that all witches should be there and look out for other witches. We’re all the same even though we all are different. ❤️blessed be❤️
Hii, i just discovered your website, and i love it, specially your article about Practical Magic movie ❤ i’ve been always attracted to this theme, but not for doing some specific thing, but i just want to connect with sources of wisdom and earthly energy. I just want to ask, is that a Kuromi figure that is on your lower shelf? It reminds me of Kuromi 😊 i hope not being offensive, i’m just curious 😅
Thoroughly enjoyed this 🖤 Thank you 🙏 You did a great job breaking it down 😉 I started out more along the Wiccan line, so I recognised those elements in this movie when I saw it back in ‘96. I thought they did a good job with this movie too although I don’t agree with everything in it. It’s still my fav witchcraft movie 🖤I agree with you re- the first half of the movie is the best. I’ve done binding spells before, more so to stop the person harming me.
There is a person I have been considering binding, but I’m not sure if I should or if it’s excessive. First, I’m autistic and she is in our friend group. She wanted to “clear the air” and address the fact that she thought I didn’t like her. The things she took issue with are the things I do because of my autism. I tried to explain this to her but she kept taking it as personal attacks against her. If she didn’t want to be friends with me because I’m autistic I would have been okay with that, but she tried to make it seem like I’m a bad person because of my autistic traits. When I tried to explain my thoughts and feelings, she told me she wasn’t going to accept the scenario of my feelings over her real experience. She has since started bullying me whenever we are at a gathering together. She also bullied me so badly in a group chat that I had to leave the chat. She is bad mouthing me to our friends, saying I said things that I didn’t, and saying I told her I don’t like her because she is trans. Which is not true. I have friends and family members who are trans and I have dated people who are trans. I’m not trans but I’m part of the pride community, and I’m accepting of all people and their differences. She doesn’t believe in spiritual stuff, but I have been feeling her inadvertently attacking me on a psychic level. I have tried to just be kind to her and ignore it and protect myself with energy, but it’s not working. After contact with her, I’m left feeling sick and fatigued and end up coming down with an illness.
I realize snakes are a symbol of many grate things, including healing in ancient Greece. As a Witch – though I prefer refering to myself as a Wizard since I have a more studious and scholarly approach to my magick, and Hellenic Polytheist – Revivalist, I can appreciate the snake as an animal highly looked upon for healing and protection. However, I myslef have always been immensely afraid of them.. and I’m not sure if it’s the way they move, or the sounds they make, but they just freak me the freak out.. this sometimes makes me upset, that I can’t truly utilize this animal in my magick due to immense fear. I mean even seeing a picture of one makes me antsy, paranoid, and feel like I have to put my feet up on a ledge so they don’t get to me.. I don’t know how to get over this fear honestly.. I also have this same fear of sharks….. idk if it has to do with any past lives I may have had, or just a natural fear within me..
I’m not real sure what the date was but that candle magic book it comes out at the beginning of the movie, I believe I checked that out in life sixth-grade library. I also found a book of spells there just was in the early to mid 60s. I continued on into the craft, of it works and advanced knowledge of its intensity, I learned tragically. Just like you said about being careful what you are creating in your spell work I wanted my ex-husband to leave me alone. Because he was very intimidating and torrential in nature he was always blowing up about things making my children on his life a living hell! When I cast the spell I did what they call red blanket, its Native American and very very traditional. I had pray that my ex would leave me alone and in two months of me doing this he crashed on his motorcycle and burn to death. Everyone said I killed him but I didn’t mean to it wasn’t like that I just was not clear as to what it was that I wanted. After that I did not do any kind of personal spells against another human. Love spells are just as bad as shown in the movie it can really twists the mind of the man that you put the spell on.
omg my fave parts are the shop parts too lol and when they are doing magickal things. Good for pointing out Rule by 3, its not a fundamental rule of magic, all depends on ur belief. I’m trying to unlearn this, not cuz im tryng to be evil lol but it feels limiting & also my culture & other bipoc people say its more a White culture witch belief so to each there own.
I very much enjoyed this article and content. So much so, that you just gained a new subscriber. Lol ❤🙌 WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE LIKE THIS. Movies depicting witch craft…. 🤔 I’m a baby witch, so I’ll have to think on it… But I LOVE movies and can probably come up a couple… But you know, you did mention Practical Magic at the beginning, why not that one? 🤷❤️
It came out a couple of months before my 18th birthday so was pretty much an adult, possibly the reason I didn’t like it. I recently rewatched it and yep, my original thoughts stand. I also watched the more modern version which was better in some ways but terrible in others. I love hearing your take on things like this. It’s always interesting to get another perspective ❤
5:25 / snakes as magickal creatures, be it actual snakes, or snake-serpent themes and motifs / iirc, other magickal creatures are (in no particular order) cats, crows and ravens, owls, and depending on the spesific culture (ie, other than mainstream euro-american / european) there are probably several more that may apply, if you are of that demographic group.
Technically, Rochelle’s spell was cast with what I call “personal ownership.” Had Laura not been racist AFTER the spell was cast, nothing would have happened. It got out of hand, and it could be argued that the spell was harsh; but accepting the fall-out of “karmic spells” is minimal; in my experience.
Your commentary on this subject was very interesting. As a 63 year old 🧙and have watched this 🎥 several times ( having 5 daughters) they also love it. LOL I agree with your assessment of the movie facts. It has had a lot of positive impacts on how the world looks at Witchcraft today in general. However I think that there’s another 🎥 you might consider reviewing on your website and that is Practical Magic, as a Practitioner I would really love to hear your opinion on what they got right in that 🎥. It has been a while since I’ve seen it but I could get it out of my collection and watch it again. It’s my personal favorite then the ‘Craft’. Your website is amazing and informative too watch even though I am much older than you you are very good at teaching and I appreciate you so very much for your website. It’s a voice for us and community to share and learn. As I mentioned above your a Wonderful Teacher. Thank You for your Talent and Taking the Time to Share Your Gifts With Us. Please Consider Me A Huge Fan My Name is RoseRaven🌹
Your articles are very helpfull but i just want to ask when doing spells or circles do you have to call in the directions or elements ive never really feel called to or ressonate doing this is it somthing that needs to be included for things to work or is it just more preferance im new but also not knew to witchcraft ive been into for a while but still abit unsure how to go about some things
Nancy was supposed to have a tinderbox that has a flame in it ( fire) Bonnie a jar with a butterfly in it.. ( air) Rochelle a Baggie with a goldfish ( water) Sarah should’ve had the jar with a Snake ( eart\\ The athame was pointed at the Heart, Hearth… Not the throat Sarah also casts a self love spell, before mentioning Chris’ s name
I love these media reviews from Hearth. But I am curious how long it will be before some crazy fundamentalist on YouTube, will find this article and say. “SEE even the witches know that these movies are filled with real spells and EEEEVILLL.” 😂😂😂 Looking at you Isaiah Saldavar. Fucking crazy ass yelling “deliverance” prayers to anyone he can.
If people today are triggered by the Craft,it’s simply because most people today LOOK for things to be offended about,I had a guy tell me i can’t be a witch because i believe in Lucifer,and it took me forever to get it through his head Wicca is not the only form of Witchcraft and you can worship Lucifer,and be a witch
Hearth. About the circle entrance..the athame is pointed at the enterants heart,not the throat ” It is better that you rush upon this blade, than to enter the circle with fear in your heart ” Nancy casted a Power spell Rochelle at first casted a Anti hatred spell..which became a revenge spell The bully is a Racist.. Nancy : Hail to the watchtowers of the South : By the powers of fire and feeling Bonnie was associated with air watchtowers of the East : By the powers of air and intuition Bonnie was associated with air Bonnie casted a beauty spell… As the spells are running their courses….Bonnie,who once was nice… becomes Narcissistic. Which is how you think of yourself ..this has nothing to do with ego
Hearth Andrew fleming explained the mistake that was made in the Craft The walk along the shore scenes Nancy was supposed to have had tinder box with a flame inside Sarah was supposed to have gotten the jar with a snake in inside He also said that Bonnie was Air ( she was a bit of a seer) Nancy was fire,Rochelle was Water … Sarah was Earth The chant was Now is the Time Now is the hour ours is the Magick Ours is the power
In traditional witchcraft there is zero about it being wrong to work for personal gain. The only rule in traditional witchcraft is to do no harm, and you can build this as a condition into your spells. In The Craft none of the spells are specifically malign and it is not the girls’ fault in how their spells are fulfilled. If I saw this kind of thing happening, I would wonder if a malign entity had somehow been invoked. The main danger in the story is that one of the witches does a ritual aimed at becoming possessed by ‘Manon’, which ends up with her first becoming drunk with power and then losing her sanity, while drawing two of her friends into the mess with her. This is because the film makers wanted to include a horror element in the plot. If there’s any Craft related message to the film, it’s “be careful in your choice of deity”.
