The Witches of Eastwick has always been one of my favorite “Witchy” movies which came long before the Disney takeover in creating a soft and fuzzy atmosphere surrounding today’s Wiccan. Which as anyone within that particular given community would know, especially within our own region of Western New York, is anything but loving.
The movie had created an almost naughty testimony on the emotional frailties and vulnerabilities regarding human nature which often tempts us in demonstrating our deepest darkest desires for power and control of not only the lives of others but of also our own destinies.
Witches of Eastwick had also quite unabashedly expressed the primordial desire of man through the characterization of Darryl Van Horne who as everybody knew was the devil himself, of having intentionally brought himself to the small town of Eastwick where he amorously entered the private lives of three women who were coven Witches in establishing his own presence in the modern era.
But in spite of the three seductresses less than ethical actions they had all proven themselves women of conscious where came the eventual showdown of supernatural forces between the three lovely Witches and Satan himself.
What followed was the memorable Darryl Van Horne’s Speech, which directed much rage and accusation against Gods purpose behind the creation of women, in between violently vomiting cherry pits in the middle of an interrupted Sunday Church service.
Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part 1: And I will take up that with ‘Give the devil his due.’
