Having mixed with neopagans (including wiccans) in Frisco, I recall finding the show amusing in how it portrayed Wiccans in San Francisco. IIRC, there was even a lightning storm (for mood, I guess) early on. I think about all shows and movies with real life locations are notorious for being warped versions of the real thing, and seeing that for myself was mildly amusing & interesting to me.

Oh and for the second question: maybe I have been a witch in a previous life.
When I was born, I was having a birthmark, that looked like I had been burned, after all. It has disappeared by now.

Another strange thing is, I still can hear the fire crackle, the heat and still have that horrible smell of burning flesh in my nose. And when I was a child I was terribly scared of fire. It was almost ridiculous, I was panicking each time someone lit a candle. And I never, never lit one myself. ACtually I think I was about 13 when I lit my first candle. lol (I still don`t like doing it)
And if there was something hot somewhere (like an oven) and I was careless for a little moment, I used to burn myself all the time.
And as a child I was having terrible nightmares of my family and me being enclosed by fire, sometimes in a house, sometimes somewhere else.

It's on four times a day. Twice in the am and twice in the pm.

It's on TNT, so check your local listings. It really is good lighthearted fun. A nice escape.

"Practical Magic" was good too. I saw that when it first came out. Midnight Margaritas! Did you see "Craft?" That was a lot darker.

Dervish:It would be really scary if someone tried to practice magic from that show, though. It's really very involved and serious. It scares me a bit to try it.

That's really cool about San Fran.

I can see wanting to be like them. They're all good, positive characters. I think I'm most like Piper, but I'd like to be more like Phoebe.

Hey, what do you think their signs are? I'm going to think about that when I watch tomorrow.

Maybe we were all witches in a past life. We should start a coven!

Prudence: Aquarius

Phoebe: Definately fire. Aries or sag. Still on the fence with her.

Piper: Virgo

Prue: Aries

Phoebe: Sagittarius

Piper: Sagittarius

Paige: Virgo

I thought it was highly interesting, that in this other show "Buffy", where women were pictured as rather strong and indpenedent (at least most of the time), the actresses also had a high fire influence (and the men had much water in their charts):

Buffy: Aries

Willow: Double Aries

Cordelia: Leo

Anya: Aries

Faith, who was a Capricorn (at least the actress who played Faith), was made the "evil", Buffy`s antagonist and had to leave the show. Interesting.

It is interesting that they are mostly fire. Fire women emit a really strong, independent vibe.

"11" always was my "destiny number"; at least I called it that, even long before I ever knew of numerology.
But I couldn`T help noticing that I almost always ended up row 11 or seat 11 in a theatre. lol
