TV Pagans

Settling down with a glass of wine to watch feature length drama Marple with the brilliant Julia McKenzie playing the sleuth.  Lovely.  What have we here?  A story line about death and witches in rural Hampshire - gawd....  I am trying to remember when a fictional show ever portrayed witches, druids and pagans as just NORMAL people - with jobs, with families, shopping at the supermarket, as well as the esoteric side.  We are either portrayed as just sinister, or plain old well meaning but barmy.  Marple, Midsummer Murders and Wycliffe have all had pagans in the story line fitting this description.  It gets a bit annoying as well as tiring after a while.  Is it fear, apprehension, misunderstanding, or that fact that 'we' present easy pickings, and our society has a love of putting people into boxes and labelling them, as it's easier than truly accepting a diverse community?  I suppose the 'truth' would make far too boring a story line!  It's the inner journey where the magic is, not the outer representation!  Off to have my second morning cup of constitutional henbane - sorry, coffee.
