I realize this is probably a rarity, but can anyone think of any television program (fiction or non) that deals with Paganism?

:rolleyes: ::::dripping with sarcasm::::: dont forget "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" :rotfl:
The truth is, there is no television series, with the exception of "Charmed", that deals with the day to day life of Pagans, though there is an openly Pagan character on "Felicity", but it is not the basis of her character, meaning, she is not a stereotype.

I don't ever watch the show so I could be waaaaaay off... I thought someone once said that the 'Charmed' girls were Catholic or something. I don't really know what I'm talking about though, so please don't slap me upside the head in reply... :( :D

i cast my vote for 'Northern Exposure'. while there may not have been any openly Pagan characters, it dealt with Pagan issues ALOT!
Chris's experience with the Horned God while hunting... Shelly's vision of the Goddess when she was about to give birth... Peter Bogdonovich talking about "The White Goddess"... Maggie as the Maiden of Spring... and on and on...
i always loved that show.

Wow, I watched that show when I was a kid and I don't remember seeing any of that.
Maybe it's because I wasn't pagan then, so I probably didn't give it much considertion.

I thought Prue Piper and Pheobes Ancestors Where Wiccan? Theres an episode where they go back in time to their grandmother Melindas birth and they have to save her and her mother from a evil witch with the help of a coven.

Never knew there was a Pagan on Felicity... (makes note - must try and stay awake during that show for once.)

I would assume they're ancestors were Witches also. The three sisters themselves are Wiccans. They don't make many references at all about the God or Goddess, but they're not Catholic. Names of some of the episodes also have reference to Wicca as well.
