This was the most hateful, antiquated, and bigoted episode of the "Haunting" series I had ever seen. I'm honestly surprised others never commented or drew attention to it before.

The whole episode demonizes Wicca, implying that a woman converting to Wicca was akin to her being possessed. Even her doing something as kind as hanging her son's cross on the wall inside her pentacle was treated like something sinister and menacing.

Not only was this episode culturally insensitive and ill-conceived it perpetuates a cruel ignorance that Wiccans should not have to deal with in the modern world. I know 2007 seems like a long time ago now but even at the time this was tasteless, ignorant, and insensitive to reality.

Try to imagine of she had been Jewish instead and it treated her religion like it might have been a demonic possession. Do you understand yet what the problem is here?

This episode disgusted me and turned me off for the entire series. It did no favors to the Wiccan community and helped perpetuate misinformation about the religion. It felt like Christian pandering and what's worse, it literally demonized another religion to do it.

This is the MOST bigoted episode they have made. Had she been practicing Judaism would this episode have been created? I doubt it. But since they can't without being sued, they go after another religion, which happens to be the fastest growing religion in the West.

Wicca is a nature based religion that reveres the God and Goddess and works with the elements of nature. If this woman were doing this now, we initiated Wiccans would call them Twitches/Baby Witches.

99.99% of REAL Wiccans would know exactly what they were doing. Also, there is absolutely NO mention of the Wiccan Rede, 'If it harms none, do what you will.' Instead, the show decided to vilify a federally recognized religion.

That said, to be Wiccan one needs to be trained by another and recieve initiation. That said, Wiccans do not believe in demons.
