The Supernatural

It appears that Hollywood has warmed up to the idea of the supernatural. New shows featuring the supernatural no longer portray anything even vaguely supernatural as something satanic or otherwise sinister. There are times when one may wonder if the pagans have finally made it to the production teams, or that the producers have warmed up to the idea that pentacles aren't normally used to summon demons. Anyway, I guess that some of the more conservative christians would be up in arms against this fairly harmless portrayal of what some may regard as witchcraft.

It's just interesting that some things the people held as folk beliefs are now being shown in terms of what they were originally meant to represent. They were originally framed in the contexts of truly dark and evil-looking crime scenes involving ritual killers or demon worshippers.
