Hi, Everyone!
It has been brought to my attention that there is a new "Secret Spells" (Wiccan) Barbie that teaches young impressionable girls how to mix potions and cast spells. Mattel promotes this Barbie by putting words like "Barbie Hides Magic Supplies in a trick school book" on the box and "No one suspects that this ordinary school girl is actually one of the Secret Spells girls!". The box goes on to say "It's a night of white magic and spells for the Secret Spells trio" (there are three dolls). I saw a commercial for this Barbie and it featured three little girls mixing potions in a cauldron at night. Since when does Barbie promote witchcraft?!?!?!?!?! I'm outraged! Someone ought to do something about this.

Apparently there are already some groups complaining, and one Wiccan group praising! One online newsletter shows the picture and says "Now your daughter can learn how drawing your power from Satan is fun". I don't know what to think! |

Here ya go Annabel
The only thing Mattel had to do with it though, is the lawsuit. It's not manufactured nor distributed by Mattel.

Now see the Secret Spells Barbie, is not the same thing, it came about with the surge of harry potter fans.

Reps: 10 (power: 0) | | | That's not the same doll. This doll is called "Secret Spells Barbie" and is manufactured by Mattel. I just looked for "Secret Spells Barbie" on eBay and they are listing it as "wiccan, witchcraft, barbie" for search stuff! Everyone knows it's witchcraft; Mattel is kidding nobody. |

Get over it.
