Cartoons (anime) are so pagan...

I  am an older guy , but I  am still  watching cartoons. Partly because I  am a divorced father that  believes I  need to be informed of my  kids TV habbits. The majority of the time I  am caughting pagan themes in kids programs.

Power Rangers had  Mystic force and which  the 5 ranmgers represented the 5 elements, they even had a snow/ice wizard that  reminded me of the pale moon goddess.  The fought elemental creatures and had a forbidden forest with mythological creatures hiding in it. Some of the evil creatures had a very  strong egyptian theme to  them. They was a cat creature that  would remind anyone of Besat.

Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.  The title itself is heavy in Celtic mythos.  And the knights called upon thier elemental weapons and armor by  saying a phrase strong of Pagan themes. The Fire inside me, the Earth beneath me, the Air above me...  This was a live action series But some kids watched it.

There was Witch, in this series the 5 ladies were witches and they each  had a unique power.  They traveled to  a parrel realm and fought against evil.

Avater, the last Air Bender was an awesome program. It  had a lot of matrial arts training moments but a lot of meditation tid bits. They  worked with  the elements and fought against evil. The Part I  loved was when they  we teaching Ang about the Chahkras at a remote temple.

Most of us  know of Thor and Marvel comics, sometimes they  did Thor justice but I  found that  they did  the rest of Asgard a great disservice. They  made all  the rest of the Norse gods seem emotinally  challenged.

Avatar the James Cameron movie was soaking wet with  Pagan influences. I  was thinking that  he was actually promoting a pagan view on life throughout the movie.

I  think  that  these programs and movies are wwonderful  and terrible in similar ways.  They  open windows  for others to  get a small peek into paganism, but sometimes it is a distorted view.  Sadly it also  might makle some kids thing that  the paganism that  we follow is just cartoon material and not possibly real.  This is a tool to  explain some basic aspects of paganism to others. When  people have questions you could refer to  a cartoon series and use characters to  build an image in thier mind.
