Accrington Vicar: Harry Potter is PR for Paganism
A CLERGYMAN has updated his guide to paganism after the popularity of the Harry Potter books has “brought the occult into the mainstream”.
Recently retired Accrington vicar Rev Kevin Logan first released his views on new age lifestyles in the book Paganism And The Occult in 1987.
But he decided to revise and re-released the book after JK Rowling’s bestsellers about the boy wizard led to a surge in interest in the subject, especially in children.
Rev Logan said: “Harry Potter in many ways leads a good, Christian life and shows that we needed a story about a saviour. This allows us ministers to use Jo Rowling’s work to introduce Jesus as the real saviour, but there have been dangers in popularising the occult.
