“Bedknobs and Broomsticks,” a parable for Gardnerian Witches

“Armed only with some dude’s book of nonsense and her own determination and national pride, Eglantine Price could fly. She could conjure. She could make change.” Meg Elison is back with another Classic of Pagan Cinema: Disney’s 1971 musical “Bedknobs and Broomsticks,” a story with surprising resonance for her Wiccan tradition.

Not a Witch

At the end of it, I know that the projects I do take on – be they jars of herbs or small rituals, necklaces made of certain stones or clothes woven just so – are few and far between. If I light a candle and say a few words, they are more likely to be a prayer than an incantation. Surely that’s not Witchcraft.
