Review of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n Bright Blessings, film lovers!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This time I am reviewing a series Netflix has done three seasons of, and I have been told, are at least doing a fourth- The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s supernatural fiction about Sabrina, a half human who has to come to terms with her powers, and decide how, or IF she will use them. She gets a lot of pressure from family and mentors, all of whom seek to mold her THEIR way. Sabrina is not having it. Surprisingly mature and responsible for a teenager, she, along with family and friends, navigates the treacherous, and blissful world of mortals, and immortals in a wonderfully entertaining show, and Sabrina does it all on her own terms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m not going to go through the sets, costumes, acting, or plots like I often do. What I am going to talk about is the controversy the show stirred up instead.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The show ticked off The Satanic Temple because they reproduced a statue of Baphomet the Temple had commissioned- without permission. The Satanic Temple sued the show, and lost the lawsuit. It was ruled the show could continue to use the image. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This was during the time Sabrina, her family, and her school venerated \u201cThe Dark Lord\u201d aka Satan. They said \u201cPraise Satan \u201c the way Xtians say \u201cPraise Jesus.\u201d Furthermore, Satan wasn\u2019t so nice to his followers, as evidenced to his horrible treatment of Lilith. The question becomes why would people venerate a cruel Lord? Some would say ask Evangelicals\u2026but\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The show was criticized for being an inaccurate depiction of modern day Satanism. People who think Satan is against their god have been upset a show depicting worship of Satan is allowed to air. I imagine these are the same people who are against Harry Potter.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The show was also criticized for depicting followers of the old gods inaccurately in Season 3. Well\u2026let me just say that if I want a realistic depiction of followers of Pan, I\u2019d go to circle with them, but that\u2019s me. The concern has been raised by some that shows that cast Pagans in a negative light add fuel to the fire those who seek to burn us at the stake use. There is much discrimination, and myths that we are evil people who cause harm left and right abound. Truthfully, those who believe those things about us believe it because they are told that by intolerant churches and church kin. A fictional show is not responsible for that. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n As far as shows, films, music, and art being responsible for education about non-mainstream religions- come on. If we want educated about a topic via tv or film, we watch a documentary, not a fictional show. People who believe dirt on us believe that on their own, and art is not in any way to blame for that. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n This is a fun show for entertainment only, which is awesome, and if you like supernatural fiction, you are sure to like this. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/paganpages.org\/emagazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/witch-popcorn.png\")
