Scared of 2012?
Many people today are worried that there will be a global catastrophe in the year 2012. But those of us who follow the Syro-Makedonian Calendar are already in the year 2322. ;)

μοῦσαι Πιερίηθεν ἀοιδῇσιν κλείουσαι
δεῦτε, Δί᾽ ἐννέπετε, σφέτερον πατέρ᾽ ὑμνείουσαι:
ὅντε διὰ βροτοὶ ἄνδρες ὁμῶς ἄφατοί τε φατοί τε,
ῥητοί τ᾽ ἄρρητοί τε Διὸς μεγάλοιο ἕκητι.(Ἔργα καὶ Ἡμέραι, lines 1-4)

Not Harry!
According to one Mr. Wohlberg,
“The more I read the books, the more I realized how spiritually dangerous the material is,” he said. “Even though it’s fiction there is a lot of reality woven in it. My warning is that Harry Potter is a major contributor to Wicca.” (italicized for emphasis) (linky)
Why yes Wohlberg! That is because Mr. Potter wrote the infamous tomes Wicca 101 and Teen Spellcraft under the pseudonym/craftname Starry Twinklewolf! He even founded the Gryffindor Wiccan Tradition which I hear goes back to Albus Dumbledor and Gerald Gardner.
And don’t forget, Harry Potter may be one powerful wizard with major contributions, but it will always be that Dumbledor is the greatest Wiccan of all time!!
