the Witch Show

a real Witch show

    Thousands of you have written in both via e-mail and physical mail asking for Witch lessons.

    The most efficient method to meet the demand for real Witchcraft knowledge is a real Witch television show.

    There are now 2.8 million Witches in the U.S. (as contrasted with only 2.7 million Jews, 2.0 Eastern religions [Hindu, Buddhist, Confucionist, etc.], and 1.4 Muslim). Witchcraft is the fastest growing religion in the U.S. (having surpassed Buddhism in 2005, Hinduism in 2007, Islam in 2008, and Judaism in March of 2009) and the second fastest growing religion in the world. Witchcraft skews young (most are teens and twenties).

    A television show with just one quarter the core audience (existing Witches) and double that number of interested Muggles would easily be the number one rated tv show on most cable networks.

    One way to establish the audience interest for a real Witchcraft television show is through Twitter. If you and your friends sign up to follow TeenWitchdotcom at Twitter in enough numbers, say a million or more Witches, then the network executvies have got to notice.

Witchcraft lessons

    I receive a huge number of requests for Witchcraft lessons from all over the world. A television show would be one of the most effective methods for teaching millions of people the principles of Witchcraft.

    We can have a really great Witch television show.

    A Witchcraft show would be of high interest to Muggles (non-Witches) as well for the same reason that Witchcraft has held world-wide interest for milleniaa: people want magickal help with health, sex, and romance. These are topics of widespread general interest.

    One of the basic principles shared by Witchcraft, Ayurveda (traditional Indian medicine), Chinese Traditional medicine, and Egyptian/Gypsy is the belief that women should naturally be hot, juicy, and grounded. A television show that teaches women how to be hot, juicy, and grounded through Witchcraft magick is an obvious success.

    The plan to get our show is to flood the offices of a targetted cable television network (still to be determiend) with e-mails and letters from Witches during the week of Halloween 2009 (return to this web page for more information).

past Witch tv

    Over the years I have received e-mails and telephone calls from TV producers (ABC, CBS, Fox, MTV, NBC, Paramount, Warner Brothers) who each thought they were the first to broadcast anything about Witches in America.

    Short news pieces about Witches are extremely common, especially around sweeps. The best of these was done by Alex mar of MTV News: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584096/20080325/id_0.jhtml.

    Beyond the ubiquitious news spots about Witches, there have been numerous full length documentaries, including several by HBO about the Tennesse Witches who were falsely imprisoned.

    And all of these TV producers who think they have just discovered Witches seem to be unaware of how widespread Witches are in he mdeia: on television (such as Bewitched and Charmed), in movies (such as The Witches of Eastwick and The Craft, and in books (such as Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling and Witch World by Andre Norton).

a new Witch show

    We need to get beyond rehashing the same old Muggle view of Witches and have a TV show that teaches real Witchcraft.

    There are several reasons that a real Witchcraft show would be successful.

    There is a huge core audience that is starving for reliable information on Witchcraft.

    Witchcraft is the fastest growing religion in the U.S. (and second fastest growing worldwide) and the second largest religion in the U.S. (having surpassed Buddhism in 2005, Hinduism in 2007, Islam in 2008, and Judaism in March of 2009).

    When I could afford e-mail, I received dozens fo e-mails a day, most from teenagers asking for instruction on Witchcraft. I still get physical letters begging for me to teach them. I’ve received lots of e-mails and letters from every state of the U.S. and from (in order of frequency) United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Israel, Netherlands, South Africa, Germany, France, Malaysia, Japan, United Arab Emirates, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Mexico, Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Brazil. Iceland, Denmark, Italy, Switzerland, Portugal, Argentina, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Columbia, Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, Russian Federation, Indonesia, Slovenia, Kuwait, India, Dominican Republic, Bahrain, Brunei Darussalam, Croatia, Yugoslavia, Czech Republic, Turkey, Costa Rica, Poland, Hong Kong, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Bahamas, Bermuda, Romania, Nicaragua, Cyprus, Republic of Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Mauritius, Fiji, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Venezuela, Qatar, Bulgaria, and Malta. Notice that several of these nations are Muslim nations where the Witches are still subject to the death penalty.

general appeal

    Witchcraft is one of only two religions that hold widespread interest among those of other religions, even those who strongly oppose Witchcraft (the other being Native American shamanism).

    Witchcraft has a widespread appeal in the areas of health, sex, and romance. Persons of all religions and cultures have turned to Witches for help in these three areas.

    Witchcraft also has the built-in drama of being the most persecuted peoples in history. The English phrases Witch Hunt and Witch Trial indicate extremes of unfair persecution. The Burning Times of Medieval Europe. Hitler and the Nazi murering more than one and a half million Gypsy Witches in gas chambers (second in number only to the Jews). Even today there are an estimated 10,000 persons being killed each year as Witches (although the vast majority of the accusatins are false).

    Witchcraft is a fascinating subject that is rich in culture and history.

    There is more than enough material to sustain a long running and popular television show.

twitter

    One way to establish the audience interest is through Twitter. If you and your friends sign up to follow TeenWitchdotcom at Twitter in enough numbers, say a million or more Witches, then the network executvies have got to notice.

radio show

    The most obvious building block to a television show is a Podcast and then a radio show. Both a Podcast and a radio show take the same tools to create.

    My current conditions allow the the time for the creation of a daily one minute Podcast, daily five minute Podcast, and weekly one hour Podcast (and corresponding radio).

    I currently work at a near minimum wage job. This takes 12 hours a day, six days a week (including wasted time such as lunch and travel time to walk to and from work). On my single day off I must perform all of the routine chores for paying rent. That leaves me about three to four hours a week.

    Four hours a week to record the aforementioned Podcasts is pretty much at the limit of human ability. That gives me barely enough time for a single take and editting. There is no room for rehearsal or repeated takes. I must produce high quality work under extreme time pressure.

    I will write the scripts during my lunch hours, an otherwise wasted time.

    I can do all of these Pdocasts/radio shows if I can gain access to minimal tecyhnology.

    I need a good microphone. A Shure SM-58 is a reliable workhorse microphone. I know that many people will suggest a cheap RadioShack microphone, but it is essential to have professional sound quality to reach millions of listeners. A better microphone would be wise, but this is a reliable and time-tested professional microphone.

    I need a decent microphone stand. If I attempted to hand hold a microphone, unacceptable noise would be introduced into the show. It is essential to meet the highest professional quality for any large audience to be willing to listen.

    I need a microphone cable. The need should be obvious.

    I need an M-Audio Fast Track Pro. This is a professional quality A-D converter that converts the balanced SLR microphone input into a digital USB audio signal. This is among the least expensive solutions that provides professional sound quality.

    I need Apple Logic Pro. This is professional sound editting software. I realize that there are several legitimate alternatives that provide equivalent sound qualiity (especially Pro Tools). Logic Pro has two significant advantages. I am already familiar with this program. I also have extensively used Digidesign ProTools, Steinberg Cubase, and Apple Garage Band (the latter being high amateur software). But I am best at Logic Pro. Logic Pro has the second major advantage that it can render in faster than realtime, which is especially important with the extremely limited time available.

    I need a working computer. And I mean a computer that actually works. A friend was upset that I couldn’t use a portable computer (for which he paid $400 so that I could have e-mail again) . Not only was it an outdated computer that can’t run modern software, but it was broken in several ways. The built-in screen was damaged. Only about two thirds of the screen was viewable. I have to actually be able to see what I am doing. The USB was broken, meaning that I couldn’t plug-in a mouse or keyboard. The built-in keyboards on early portables weren’t designed for serious typing and I need to be able to type at a high rate of speed. A trackpad is a very poor substitute for a mouse (with similar productivity problems as the lack of a full size keyboard) and even worse the trackpad was failing and very jerky, making use almost impossible. The worst problem was that the FireWire didn’t work, which means that there was no easy way to connect to the computer to transfer data. A completely isolated computer is useless for creating a Podcast.

    I don’t want to put down offers of completely inadequate left-over equipment that nobody else wants, but if I am going to push the limits of human ability and create a highly successful radio show under near impossible conditions, then I need working equipment.

    These things are going to be expensive. I can’t possibly afford to obtain these items on my own. At the moment I can barely pay for rent. I can not currently eat at the level to maintain human health. Heck, I am stretching the life of my shoes by duct taping them back together every morning.

    But if I can find someone willing to donate some or all of these items, then I can create the aforementioned Podcasts, which potentially could end up on broadcast radio.

    There is the possibility of reaching an audience of millions of people (Witches and those who find Witchcraft interesting).

    Having a successful radio show reaching millions of people makes it much easier to convince a network to broadcast a Witch television show.
