Okay I\'m not going to change the edit, but I have seen almost every single episode of Charmed and I have never ever seen the Halliwells invoke any gods and they never actually mix any of the religious aspects of Wicca into the show. Any resemblance to Wicca is really quite superficial, especially after Constance M. Burge left, as the page notes. Just because it\'s partially based on Wicca doesn\'t make it Theurgy. For example, in the very first season (which is generally regarded as the most Wicca heavy season), the Hallwells fight and kill Hecate, who is a demon queen. This despite the fact that in Wicca and some other forms of Neopaganism, Hecate is often regarded as a goddess of witchcraft. So they have witches fight and defeat the patroness of witches. The Trivia page for the show even talks about how the cosmology more closely resembles Christianity than Wicca thanks to the dualistic view of good and evil and no mention of the Goddess. There may be some obscure example, but I\'ve never seen any indication that the similarities between Wicca and Charmed are more than skin deep.

The fact that they call it Wicca in the show is more like InNameOnly and is akin to people in real life who confuse all forms of witchcraft with Wicca.

Buffy I apologize for as I forgot that Osiris personally makes an appearance in season 6. Hecate and Aradia however have only been mentioned. I was NOT including real life beliefs in this, and I specifically said \

Buffy I apologize for as I forgot that Osiris personally makes an appearance in season 6, and I will note that. Hecate and Aradia however have only been mentioned. I was NOT including real life beliefs in this, and I specifically said \\\"in the Buffyverse.\\\" My intent was not to offend.
