Is it that the Wiccan's (Spelled teachers) are so good promoting the witch as a reality or is it that the Christain leaders are bad at addressing contempary issues?

Children latch on to witchcraft/wicca for various reasons. It's reasonable to assume that those who do so generally lack a firm Christian foundation. Regardless of the secondary causes, the fact remains that the books, at least on one level, amount to a lengthy infomercial for the occult, as can be seen from the correspondence between the Potter phenomenon and children's interest in the occult. As such, the books represent a danger to children.

They can be "interested" in the occult all they wish. Nothing will come of it - unicorn horn is notoriously hard to come by, and so are dragon heartstrings, and again: THE SPELLS DON'T WORK.

These 100 calls are the kids that are the reason that my son's cape on his "Batman" costume has the warning - "WARNING! Cape does not enable wearer to fly."

My kids know the difference between reality and fantasy. Most of the kids know the difference as well.

My sister is a Pagan because the chruch we grew up in failed. I can testify that it failed me too. I found what I was looking for, but I had to search. If churches cannot reach these kids, they will be lost no matter whose book they are reading.
