Ah, now comes censorship.

I joined the Facebook page for the folks trying to boycott the Lost Abbey Brewery. (Yes, boycott; as if any of these people were in the habit of buying this company’s products to begin with). One poster named “Coven Avalon” posted several times that the Lost Abbey blog had been “pagan bashing big time; called us ignorant!” I posted to say that this was not true, that the word “ignorant” had only been used to refer to the remarks in...

The New York Times, The Lost Abbey, and What Microbrew Goes Best with Crow?

Last updated on: October 25, 2010 at 11:13 am By Peg Aloi

Just in time for Hallowe’en, the New York Times has weighed in (can you believe it?) on the Lost Abbey controversy. The tongue-in-cheek tone of the piece makes me think that perhaps some folks in the pagan community reached out for some media coverage on this, and perhaps got more than they bargained for. The news is making the rounds in the beerosphere, too: The Full Pint, a beer lovers’ news site has also offered its take, after first posting... Read more

Horror! ‘Tis the Season!

Last updated on: October 22, 2010 at 10:02 am By Peg Aloi

Today, the British newspaper The Guardian capped its series of lists of best films in various categories by offering their take on the 25 Best Horror Films of All Time. I like their list: I especially like that they chose Psycho (Alfred Hitchcock, 1960) as the top horror pick, and that The Wicker Man (Robin Hardy, 1973) is Number Four! I also admire their choosing The Blair Witch Project (Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sanchez, 1999) as a top contender, since that... Read more

Brew Ha Ha! An Update

Last updated on: October 19, 2010 at 7:13 pm By Peg Aloi

So, just when you thought it was safe to go purchase a six pack or two of your favorite naughtily-named microbrew, it turns out that the indignant complaining of some righteous witches might have had an impact on a small sector of the craft beer industry. I’ve recently learned that the Lost Abbey Brewery, the source of some controversy earlier this week over their label for “Witch’s Wit” wheat beer (which features a young woman being burned at the stake),...

Isis is Pretty! And memories of Saturday morning…

Last updated on: October 18, 2010 at 7:18 pm By Peg Aloi

My friend Walter, who has a healthy obsession with films and television depicting pretty much anything connected to paganism and the occult, shared this link with me this week. It’s a photo of an upcoming episode of Smallville that will feature the goddess Isis. Awww….isn’t Isis PRETTY? Walter called this” jaw-droppingly awful,” and maybe he was referring to the story line in which Isis (who is really Lois Lane, temporarily transformed, apparently) will use Clark’s body to revive her mummified...

Controversy? Or Overreaction?

Last updated on: October 16, 2010 at 8:35 pm By Peg Aloi

Over at the The Wild Hunt blog, there’s a discussion happening regarding a label on a bottle of beer. The company is called Lost Abbey, and the beer is called Witch’s Wit. The label depicts a witch burning at the stake, while hundreds of anonymous men look on. Jason Pitzl-Waters provides plenty of links to more information, and some of the remarks being made around the net. Rather oddly, given that the label has been in circulation for a couple...

Hail and Welcome!

Hello! This is my new blog. I’ll be blogging about media; specifically media of interest to witches, neopagans, heathens, and other like-minded folks. Some of you may remember some of my work as the long-time Media Coordinator for The Witches’ Voice website. But the times they are a-changin’, and it seemed like a fine time to being my scholarly interests, critical acumen, and unique brand of snark to the blogosphere. This has been in the works for a while, and... Read more
