Return of the pagans: Wouldn’t you know it, all the talk about a boy named Potter and a vampire-slaying teen contributing to witchcraft among kids may be true after all, in Britain anyways. A recent MSNBC report claims paganism is on the rise in the UK and even the pagans themselves are thanking the Harry Potter books along with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and even Sabrina the Teenager Witch.
Of course, those pesky evangelical Christians aren’t particularly pleased about it. The Evangelical Alliance is calling on the Brits to regulate paganism out of the popular media, but there’s little chance such efforts will succeed. Everybody knows those three chicks from Charmed used their powers to trash any efforts at censorship, and really, can Jesus compete with that?
In other news, scientists are planning on researching how the squeakily annoying Melissa Joan Hart, of Sabrina fame, could actually make people want to be witches.
