How is 'Secret Spells Barbie"in any way a 'Wiccan Barbie'?
Is it the Dragonfly? The rest of her gear seems to have little to do with Wicca?
" Transform Barbie from an ordinary girl to one of the Charm Girls. Just put on Barbie's "enchanted" Charm Girl jacket and she's ready to mix up delicious potions that you can really drink. Barbie comes with costume, dragonfly, mixing pot, stand, spoon, stirrer, three bottles, book with a secret compartment, and two packets of "magic" powder (sugar-based mixes you mix with water). Barbie measures approximately 11.5 inches tall. "
MrsMom, how do you know what constitutes Wicca, and what doesn't, unless you ARE ONE?
HMM...?
Because someone selling a "Secret Spells Barbie" used the word Wicca in the title to increase page views of their auction. Why would they use that word if it wasn't a true representation of Wicca????

1. "Secret Spells" does not equal Wiccan. Voodoo practitioners, Pagans who do not practice Wicca, various native faiths, and even some Christians do spell work.
2. This is obviously a cheap, stupid ripoff of the standard "witch who casts love spells" myth.

LOL nah, I played with GI Joe too hated barbie, we used her for Cobra bait.
That's strange, me and my friend used to play with barbies a lot. It turns out they're flamable in a wide variety of situations, and they burn very interestingly. I think we dissolved one in acid once too.
"Borg Barbie" hmm if you think about it there does seem to be a connection: they both come in cube-like objects, everyone is basically the same, everyone they encounter is co-opted in to the collective, every trend that comes along is "assimilated", they seem to have been around forever, really the resemblance is uncanny! (and a little scary!)
