Well after completing a few spider brainstorming maps (you know, the ones you had to do in junior high with all the bubbles) I have narrowed my topic down. I will be researching whether or not the Wiccan religion is as dangerous as most people think it is. I need to find out if the people who think the religion is evil actually know something about Wiccans or have had personal experience or if they are basing their assumptions on historical events and Halloween costumes.
I want to make a short video on personal opinions on the matter. For instance, asking someone what they know about Wiccans and whether or not they think they are evil based on their personal experience. Chances are most people will think Wiccans are the same as Witches and therefore know nothing about the religion.
I was timid at first about choosing a topic such as Wicca, because I too had first believed that the words were interchangeable and that the movie portrayals were correct. I also had a fear that I might be meddling into unknown territory and that someone with a cauldron would cast a spell on me! But from my research so far it seems as though I, like most of society, have it all wrong.
