An being a Pagan makes you super sensitive to a bit of daftness?

Sorry Rowan, don't mean to belittle your beliefs, but to be insulted by a cartoon piccy is just daft.

To me it just reinforces a stereotype linking members of a peaceful and well meaning religion to wickedness and 'fairy story' imagery

I love Halloween.. but from a basis of its origins rather than the American commercialism that has been superimposed on a Pagan Festival

Any one would think we all live in gingerbread houses and cackle at small children... (I wouldn't waste good gingerbread by using it as a building material)

China Doll

It's a wicked witch which is associated with halloween like santa is assoctiated with christmas. I think it would be like a christian being a bit insulted by a santa logo because it's not paying enough respect to the fact that christmas is the celebration of the (allegedly) birth of Jesus. I would find that a bit petty too I'm afraid in terms of a little moan.

Don't take it to heart :c)

China Doll

Also, said logo reinforces bats as evil and sinister animals when they're actually endangered and very interesting creatures. I like bats very much but am not going to get annoyed because the logo reinforces that they are blood sucking and evil.

yes, the voluptuous seductress nanny ogg should have been considered in this graphic art instalation ?

her delight in the grip of that courgette is only slightly disconserting.

And actually a very good image of modern witching... sensual as in willing to indulge in all the pleasures of the senses...hedonistic but willing to care for those who need it and a few who think they dont
