Coven Oldenwilde's Witchcraft store for lessons, info, books, and more

Our short preview of this video on Coven Oldenwilde's YouTube channel became the focus of a religious-censorship controversy in early 2010. An anonymous visitor flagged it as "objectionable" — even though it violated no YouTube content standards — which triggered the Google search engine to label our channel as "potentially offensive or inappropriate." Finding no other way to appeal the warning, we raised the issue on prime-time news. The publicity led Google to do the right thing and remove the warning — and, we hope, to make it harder for lone bigots to act as online Witch-hunters.

Here is the preview, which shows how to pronounce the spell that saved Asheville's famous Magnolia Tree — the powerful "Bagahi Rune":

Lady Passion and *Diuvei teach how to use and pronounce numerous authentic, ancient spells and chants in this workshop (filmed at a Pagan gathering), including:

• The original "Abracadabra"
• The Chant of the Vowels
• The hidden name of "God" (or more accurately, "the All")
• The legendary "Ephesia Grammata," famed for their "great power, both defensive and aggressive"
• A protective spell for traveling, from the Elizabethan wizard John Dee
