True.
And I get the whole blood/womanly power thing, but I guess the definition of "witch" here is a little broader than I was expecting. That seems more like a curse to me, although I can see the point he could be trying to make with that, too.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, it's Halloween witchcraft at this point, not Wicca. So much for "And it harm none."
Maybe there'll be some explanation of the whole power structure. So far two/four of the new gen are murderers, the Supreme is insano-Where'sMaImmortalatah!-murderer, Madame Lalaurie is plain ol' evilcakes (and dude, WAY historically evilcakes, ugh, I've read a lot over the years). So far, I'm in Marie Leveau's court, despite the fact that voodoo and witchcraft are NOT synonymous.
But it ought to be fun!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Wait, they're using LaLaurie and Laveau? Shit, I may have to watch this.

smonster, YES! Way over the top too.
From the descriptions, I was not sure I wanted to deal w/ S1. So I skipped it. Asylums give me the heebie jeebies so I was out for S2.

My usual comment: not all witches are Wiccan.
I cannot wait to start watching this. Whee!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I didn't know LaLaurie was a real person. Holy shit.

Oh yes. And fascinating to read about.

Madame LaLaurie is infamous. And Nicholas Cage did own her house for a while. I can't remember why -- when I was in New Orleans in August 2001, the house wasn't open for tours, which was a disappointment.
The thing about using "coven" and "witchcraft" as themes for this season -- even when Zoe, for instance, doesn't seem much like a witch to me -- is that any women's skills that threatened the natural order or men's authority have traditionally been lumped under "witchcraft" (more or less). So what I'm thinking is this season is really more simply about women's power and the ways they retake it.
