Appropriation of religious practices in media & movies does harm to public perception. If movies like Song of the South and Gone with the Wind, which glorify the reconstruction and southern culture as peaceful, and black slave as happy, or movies (like John Wick) present violence as heroic, have adverse effects on public thought, do ‘supernatural’ movies not do the same? We often enjoy seeing magick portrayed, but is the perception of magick users (and pagans) being damaged when movies depict us badly, however absurd we may find it? Why does Hollywood classify everything supernatural as “horror” Are there ever pagans, psychics, or magick users ever treated respectfully in movies or on TV? Should we be trying to get the same respect other minorities are given?
