Evelyn "the witch" Paglini
Pirate King Atomsk:
I fucking hate Evelyn Paglini's shows. No offense to pagans or wiccans or whatever but I think all this incense burning magic candle protection bullshit is absolutely retarded. Plus I really hate her voice. I know that's low and aesthetic. but I just can't stand it. Why did Art even bother to have this woman on? Her solution to everything involves god damn candles and oils. *slams head into wall* >:(
Spikegirl:
I'm not sure how I feel about her. She and Sylvia Brown have the same voice. I like Sylvia, her now infamous misses on 2 high profile cases not withstanding. I don't think it's possible for a psychic to be 100% right all of the time, and when you are under pressure to make a prediction on the spot, it must be hard. You go with your instinct, but that may be wrong if you are not really 'feeling' it. I have some of her books and I've enjoyed reading them.
I think Art's wife was a practising witch, which is probably how he got sucked into the whole thing. I am not sure if his former wife knew Evelyn. I'm under the impression that she did. Anyway, I don't like anything to do with the occult, so I am not into her, but she is interesting, at the very least.

I agree, except for the interesting part. I think she's just kind of repetitive and dull. Like, last night I went to a birthday party for a friend of a friend who happens to be a practicing witch. Her girlfriend (they're lesbians, by the way) is also a practicing witch. Anyways, everyone was outside and they were talking about burning protection candles, and wealth candles, and all that stuff. I just looked at my other friend and kinda rolled my eyes. I just don't buy it. Preachy outspoken pagans/wiccans don't seem to realize that to the average practical and logical atheist or agnostic, they're as annoying as evangelical christians. Nothing ever has a simple, logical, Ockham's Razor-style explanation with them. It's always 'oh, this car crash must have happened because I forgot to light my 7-day protection candle this week" or "it must be someone sending evil intention spells towards me". It's truly as silly, IMO, as saying "oh well I just didn't pray to God hard enough" or "my guardian angel must have done it" or whatever. But I guess I'm just ranting my own grievances at this point. :-\
Frys Girl:
I love polls!!! I never met a poll I didn't like! Thanks Pirate :)

...a shriveled, cigarette hauling old hag who long ago found a schtick she could make some money with? Yes. Definitely.
As oy've said aforetime on these pages, with so many interesting, legitimate witches, Wiccans, pagans, druids, frog salad experts and moribund fallopian salesmen out there, why Art settled on Evelyn has always been a mystery to me.
