Cliches of Television

Question: Why do television scenes concerning an Occult Gathering most always look something like a Presbyterian Sunday 11 AM Morning Service? Answer me that MooPig. [FAQ by Paul Beareh]

REPLY: Baruch at'ai adonai --and-- [HERE] Hey, thanks for the question, Mr Beareh, we were just talking about that very aspect of TV shows this morning in our bi-decade'l meeting of MooPig Presents. We have often thought that the meeting of Pagans at their Pagan Temple of Choice to exercise their powers stored in their various relics -- should be like the spinning of a Dreidel. There should be childlike glee and gay merriment, and Charlie Daniels on hand to bust a demon's chops with his saw horse... no?

Television invariably presents Ceremonial Pagan Gatherings as boring, stiff, and fake. It seems to some of us that Pagan Wiccan Rituals and such, more resemble a JCPenney White Sale, as all the congregated are wearing bed sheets and linens. The chanting is call and reply led by usually the head Honcho Witch-man who has an Alpha Witchy-woman named Zelda Glitch at his side. There is some tension there because the Witch-man has brought along a Nubile Princess Witchy-girlwho will be eventually burned, zapped or bled out. And it turns out, the Nubile's restless, randy spirit has attracted the Sun-fresh Handsome Devil Stud-muffin Manwich who of course will not let her die this way. He had searched the world over and pfffft she was gone... left him with six children.

Pagan rites of passage are already frowned upon in most modern cultures. If occult members are going to recruit young folk into their numbers, MooPig might suggest making services more like a Quidditch Match at Dalhousie's University Stadium... with plenty of blood sport.

Magick is everywhere: and so is TV...
