Yes, many of us have noticed. A few months ago, literally every thread for a week was about how most of the spells were from some fantasy series or other.
not only do they get it from a fantasy series they also get them from movies they've seen like the craft or a spell from 5 girls..who knws where else they'll get them from not that its bad but its not always good either.

Yep, I'm not looking forward to the new witch series coming out this fall, "Secret Circle" I believe it is called. I will be watching a few episodes, just so that I can spot the ones that take the series as factual. Urgh...

The biggest problem is that the writers of these Tv and movie series, do tend to read up on witchcraft and and the occult, and often insert some actual reality into the scripts! We should be vigilant and point out these "realities".
I think everyone noticeses, it gets very annoying. TV series and books on Wicca or Witchcraft do attract plenty of fluff- but wouldnt it do the magickal community good to teach them right from wrong? Good points: It attracts new practicioners. Bad points: It attracts lots of fluff who believe fake spells.
