As some of you know, my wife, Lisa, is a Wiccan. I am most definitely not, but it’s been interesting to watch the religious movement go from off the radar to mainstream over the past decade or so.
When Lisa started a campus Wiccan group seven years ago there were very few similar groups around the country. Now there are so many that the Chronicle of Higher Education recently ran an article on the phenomenon.
The other day we were in the mall and I spotted some very tacky looking Wiccan-oriented books being prominently displayed at the B. Dalton store. But what really hit home was watching Cartoon Network on Saturday which the 1999 animated film, “Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost,” whose plot centers around Wicca.
Once you’ve been featured as part of a Scooby Doo cartoon, you know you’ve hit the big time.
