I can't make a link (I haven't posted before today, been lurking a while) but if you do a search on Google on "Secret Spells Barbie" you will get a picture of the doll. 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!
This is BS,because wiccans dont believe in the devil.

They find it offensive to call thier dietys,the devil.
Some traditional witches will call thier ancient God the devil(not the christian devil,but thier ancient god)But wiccans dont.

Wicca is a religion,and thier dietys are the Lord and the Lady,most wiccans wont even acknowledge demons,and God forbid,they would never invoke a demon.

You will be hard pressed to find anyone wiccan who believes in the devil.Just because thier diety has horns,and goats foot,doesnt mean its the devil.

No more than any hindu god,who may look like the devil.They dont see it that way.

Wiccans do not acknowledge the existence of the christian devil,and probably never will.

[jaded]So what, does this Secret Spells Barbie tell girls what diet pills to take, what growth hormones to swallow, which plastic surgeons to see so they can look like Barbie?
[/jaded]

What happened to Career Barbies from the 80's? They were cool...

See, that's the point: while the name or clothing of the Barbie might influence what a kid does with a little, it's still up the child's imagination! Every kid does wierd things with their Barbies or Kens, because each child is learning and developing their imagination and using their imagination to develop a sense and understanding of reality!

Children will take a Secret Spells Barbie and make them into a teacher. Or they will take Fashion Barbie and turn them into a SAHM. Or they will take Career Ken and turn him into a surfer dude.

Wiccan Barbie. I can imagine it now. "Press the button on Wiccan Barbie's back and she spouts Genuine Wiccan Phrases and Bad Poetry!"

Press. "Don't be so closed-minded!"

Press. "Wear your butterflies with pride!"

Press. "I am really interesting and freaky and not at all boring, as you can tell by my clothes and manner of speech! Let's go listen to Sarah McLaughlin!"

It's lucky no Wiccan Barbie actually exists. Children would end up growing up to be Wiccans!
It is funny to me that you are practicing the same religious intolerance that our military is fighting against in the middle east. Perhaps a little study would reveal some interesting "truths" about paganism and christianity.
