Witchcraft officially began in England in the mid 1400’s. Christianity was the dominant religion at this time in England. To be a witch‚ one had to sign a pact with the devil‚ often to worship

First she relates Plato’s ideas to beliefs of those in India‚ then to the Wizard of Oz and his illusion to power‚ and lastly to the ideas of gnosticism.

can all cause serious damage to the human body. Drugs may numb your senses‚ or severely hurt your ability to make healthy choices and decisions. Perhaps you have heard of Judy Garland. At the age of 17‚ a year after she played Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz”‚ Judy Garland was prescribed drugs to control her appetite. Soon she was under the "care" of psychiatrist Dr. Frederick Hacker‚ and her prescribed drugs that produced even more anxiety for the troubled actress. In 1949

In fact‚ it felt more like home than his actual home‚ where his dad often teased him about his ’prancing around the stage like a bloody pony’ but he knew that his dad preferred him doing this - his passion - than on the streets at ten o’clock at night smoking glue or sniffing weed.

Where it all started‚ somewhat. The prequels are my generation. They bring me back to when I was a toddler and that is where the admiration of all Star Wars films germinated. With assumption that everyone has seen The Phantom Menace‚ a synopsis is unnecessarily. The theatrical highlight was Queen Amidala and Queen Amidala’s decoy.

When Dorothy went to go see Oz‚ it is only through having the curtain pulled back that we see things for what they really are. The second modern day example is "The Matrix." In the Matrix‚ it is only through being ’unplugged’ that one can realize what is the
