		<description>Without being there for absolutely every second of what they lived, none of us can really judge.  TV is all about sensationalism.  It&#039;s what TV was founded on.  I don&#039;t defend anything, I only say that I don&#039;t know the whole story.  I&#039;ve been pagan my whole life, trained by a grandmother and I do paranormal research.  Sadly, when TV crews follow me around to see what&#039;s involved in an investigation all they seem to &#039;catch&#039; and put on air is the comments a few people make about &#039;feeling something&#039; and maybe a close up of a piece of equipment.  I stopped taking filming requests based on what was put on air.  They never showed the hours and hours of research into the property, they never show the hours of getting base readings and finding all electrical sources, they never show how sleep inducing it can be to sit and listen to thousands of hours from multiple tape recorders static hoping for one or two words .... the point is TV shows what they feel will cause a reaction in the people watching.  And judging by this board Wife Swap got the reaction they were hoping for</description>

		<description>Well I happen to know Bella I am one of her students and friends. When they started to do the show she was trying to portray wicca the way it really was but they edited out so much stuff you got all the pagan fluff and not what was meant to be shown. After viewing the show we were all very upset with it. But that doesn&#039;t mean that Bella &quot;didn&#039;t have everything together&quot; you have to have been there to make any assumptions and those who want to make assumptions of what they know nothing about need to be shot I think. Oh and the smashing of the &quot;coven plate&quot; fyi was not the actual coven plate.</description>

		<description>I do not in anyway pass myself off as any kind of expert in the wiccan religion,  Heck for that matter, in any religion.  However I have played around with a few spells and tarot readings.  To say the least..... I learned my lesson.  But I guess the point Iam trying to make to make is here.  It now has been one year since this episode has been seen.  Since this time hace any of you people involved taken your own personnal feelings aside and tried to forgive?  If anything was done wrong then Karma will certainitly play a factor in that persons life.   When I was beginning to learn about about spells and tarot and part of the wiccan religion I remember some people being somewhat leary or even scared of me just because they used the word &quot;witch&quot;.  Unfortunetly still in  this century, although we have come far, still some people  consider the wicca religion to be weird or abnormal.  When people do not understand something than no matter if the truth is told or not people will still have a reaction.  I think that more people do need to be educated about the wiccan religion and come to understand that it is not all bad.  Witches do not have long green noses, and eat little girls and boys. But as long as that is how witches are portrayed in books, then alot of people wil still believe that it is a bad religion to follow.  A reality t.v show is not just a &quot;reality t.v show&quot; I like to cal it a show for entertaintaiment.  what is going to bring in the audience? what is going to bring the ratings? When I watched the show I must admit I thought it a bit funny, however with the parts I did watch of it, I also thoguht it was kind of cute.  But now the choice is up to you. It has been 1 yr since the show has aired.  Do you leave it up to fate?Karma? or do you hold a grudge?  We must live with ourselves everyday and if you can live with yourself with hate and revenge what kind of witch does that make you?  What kind of witch would you like to be and become?</description>
