    A frenzy of naked women dancing in the moonlight

    I guess I was born at the wrong time. After watching this A&E presentation I see how dull my life is.

    The presentation is mostly narrative but occasionally we get a statement from:

    Elisabeth Say, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, California State University, Northridge.

    Carole Fontaine Professor of Old Testament, Andover Newton Theological School.

    Joseph Klaits Director for the Institute for Peace, Washington D. C. Barbara Amadea MacGraw. Lecturer & Religion Scalar, University of Southern California.

    Bran P. Levack, Professor of History, University of Texas, Austin.

    Marie Guerriero, High Priestess, Temple of the Nine Wells.

    Janet Farrar, Author "The Witch's Way."

    We see some famous paintings of people that you would have to stretch a bit to change from goddesses to witches. We got film clips of old black and white movies.

    It is over as you are just getting into it.
