That would not happen if students instead read the Bible, Mallory said.

She added that the books were harmful to children who are unable to differentiate between reality and fantasy.

Right, sticking your head in the sand is reality. Teach your children to read between the lines and to understand the difference between facts and ideas. Harry Potter may be using magical spells to accomplish his goals, but the idea within the message is akin to many in the Bible - selfless acts for the greater good, with the constant nemesis of those who embrace greed, prejudice and bigotry. I'm sure that's why all of the school shootings proliferate - because the shooters all believe that they are doing selfless acts against the greedy, prejudicial bigots.

She's selling videos and taking donations up a storm on her 'official website.'

The makers of that video claim to be occult experts. I saw that, and I thought, wtf are THESE people? Ok, so I look them up, since I have NEVER heard of them, and I would just venture to say, that I am very, very well read on occultism...

It is obvious that these people make anti-gay, anti-Catholic, anti-Hindu, films galore - but mostly a ton of anti-Clinton films. lol

Here's a recipe for a 'spell' for you. Take some ignorance, a lot of profit, a good dose of intolerance, and hatefulness...a big chunk of political agenda...Stir it in a judicial cauldron at the tax payers' expense...
It might give 'Dave's Insanity Sauce' a run for the money.

Let's be clear not to perpetuate the lies. School shooters have NOT been wiccan. Wicca is an earth based religion that holds all life and nature as sacred and does not recognize the authority of the Bible. The main tenet of Wicca is clear - "And ye harm NONE, do what thou wilt." Many but not all wiccans practice magick - but it is often referred to as nothing more than 'prayer, with props."
