Customer Reviews of Intimate Portrait: Witches
worth the money I bought this used and i must say that I loved it. My only dissapointment was that it wasn't longer. It had interviews with modern witches and I wish they had devoted some more time to that. The peice was mostly about the Burning Times, and I guess I wish they'd made two seperate videoes. I would have bought both. It was still excellent, I was very impressed with it.
Must have for your library
The people on this program are familiar mainstream writers that have contributed heavily to the emergence or re-emergence of Wicca. The significance of the program is not the contents but to get a first hand view of the writers (Z. Budapest, Laurie Cabot and Janet Farrar.) Naturally with most biographical films there is a spin placed on the subject matter to portray what they think will sell. Notice the green faced witch in the Wizard of Oz is shown; they completely overlook Glenda to good witch.
With all the hype and not much circumstances you may get the feeling that this is not a "how to" program. However the essence is not rigid rituals but the philosophy and religion behind Wicca.
This is not a "be all. End all" program but a portrait.
Spectacular views of American Witches
Keep in mind that this a report of (primetime) television. So everthing has to go fast, flashy, styled...give the masses what they want...
I obtained this video because I wanted to see the interviews of farrar, budapest, cabot. This 45minutes begins in Salem; and gives a brief visual document of witches in the past and modern America.
As I said earlier; quick research is unaccurate research. They use the word 'wicca', 'athame' a.o. without saying one word of the creator of these words: Gerald Gardner!
He is the first person who used these words in this combination and associated to witches. It is like Gardner, Sanders, V. Crowley don't exist. Americans found their own way, but not without watching the European "wicca"first. In the interview with Budapest; the word feminist wicca doesn't appear.
A note for the non-American buyers: these videos are American VHS system. In Europe we use VHS PAL (in France VHS SECAM). Before obtaining videos make sure that you Video Recorder is able to play American VHS. Most new types of VCR can play both; PAL and NTCS.
