STAR TREK--WITCHCRAFT AT HEART
Editor-- Steve--
From: Natalie O---------------- Subject: If Star Trek was Wiccan....
I've been having an e-mail discussion with Rob Berry about Wicca and some of its more esoteric aspects. He wrote me the following message concerning a discussion of magic circles. It is reported with permission. If anyone takes offense, *I* thought it was pretty funny, knowing as I do that the man means no slight towards Wicca. So there. :-) I'm >, and Rob is unquoted test. Enjoy! B*B, Natalie >For some Wiccans, the circle is like >an energy wall that contains one's magic until one is ready >to release it. These also generally hold that the circle is >something that one must cut a door in if one enters or leaves, >else the circle is disrupted. All this talk about protective circles and the disruption thereof reminds me of forcefield-related technobabble on Star Trek. Can you imagine if Star Trek had been a fantasy show instead of a science fiction show? Data: "Captain, there are Romulans getting in off the starboard bow!" Riker: "Red alert! Cast the circle!" Data: [begins ritual] Worf: "The Romulans are hailing us." Picard: "Open a channel." Worf: "Oh spirits of the Romulans! If you are here, give us a sign!" [has a brief seizure, then starts talking with a Romulan accent] "Surrender, Picard. We have our hexes trained on your warp cauldrons. You cannot escape!" Picard: "Come on, guys, can't we talk about this over some Earl Grey?" [Romulan ship fires hexes] Data: "The circle is down to 17%. Another hit and the circle will be banished." Geordi: "Captain, I could modify an inverted tetryon philtre in conjunction with the ODN elixirs and the Crowley emitters to reinforce the circle." Picard: "So mote it be! Er, I mean, Make it so! Whatever!" Troi: "I'm sensing... lots of bull ____." Everyone Else: "Shut up, Troi!" Geordi: "The circle has been reinforced!" Picard: "Fire photon athames!" [Romulan ships explode] Data: "The Romulan ships have been dispelled, sir."
>Others like myself hold that >nothing can banish the circle except the caster (or casters >in the case of a coven). Riker: "I wish somebody had told the Romulans that." :-) Editor-- Steve-- I hope soft headed saints, who think Star Trek is just a harmless fantasy, will re-consider. It is, in fact, a space coven for fools who can't find the "off" switch on their TV.
