Harry Potter's Occult Foundations

Host:Ingrid Schlueter
Guest:Caryl Matrisciana

This edition of Crosstalk presents day 2 of a discussion with Caryl Matrisciana, a veteran filmmaker, best-selling author, journalist, researcher commercial artist and expert on the occult. The focus of this program is the Harry Potter phenomenon and her DVD on the subject entitled, "Harry Potter: Witchcraft Repackaged".

The last Harry Potter book by J.K. Rowling is about to be released. Witchcraft, the religion contained in these books, is the fastest growing religion among teens. The Harry Potter mania adds to this curiosity by bringing Witchcraft down to a level that children and teens can understand and relate to.

Caryl covers many areas of Harry Potter such as the good/evil dualism that runs through the series. In addition, she discusses the C.S. Lewis/Tolkien connection to the occult, and also looks at aspects of the New Age Movement, all elements that are coming into the Church like a flood.
