I was quite close friends with wizards, warlocks and witches alike

You can ignore everything this guy says because of this line right here. The original definition of the word warlock is traitor. Everyone in the occult/ wicca community knows this, they'll inform you in know uncertain terms if you use the word around them. Subsequently no one, and I mean no one, in that community would ever say they were close friends with a warlock. It's like an American saying they're close friends with someone "very similar in manner and belief to Benedict Arnold", just not gonna happen.

Indeed. No longtime reader of The Green Egg or The Crystal Well he. Seems to me he could actually use solid courses in the history of science, Kabbalah, Western mysticism and Freemasonry. Gadzooks he seems an ignorant, if earnest and well-meaning, twit. Well, people most fear what they don't understand. "New Age" types for the most part, especially the popular sort, generally seem to me to be rather pathetically shallow people looking for meaning in all the wrong places.

And you can trust people in the Wiccan community, right? The very group that tells people that there are good witches and bad witches out of one side of their mouth, tells them there is no right and wrong, no way to judge, out of the other. They are credible -- sure.

I was very surprised to see Wicca being touted and witchcraft flouted on "Buffy, the Vampire Killer" on TV. Lots of violence and weird stuff there. Is that dangerous to young minds? (Just a query, no need to flame)
