[Rocktoberfest 2019] Different Witchy Broadway Rock via Sid & Marty Krofft
The 1970 big-screen adaptation of Sid & Marty Krofft’s H.R. Pufnstuf TV show, simply titled PUFNSTUF, is everything you’d expect: a menagerie of puppety oddballs padding out an episode of their groovy kiddie show while upping the ante with guest star Martha Raye and a German Rat chauffeur (who is clearly supposed to be a Nazi!). This movie strives to be THE WIZARD OF OZ for a new generation but feels more like a ‘70s educational film that went off the rails. Hardly a horror film, or even memorable, until we get to the rock song by a famous witch…
Most of the musical numbers can be a real chore. (The heavy lifting is given to child star Jack Wild, who had made a name for himself playing The Artful Dodger in OLIVER!) The exception to the forgettable musical numbers is when Mama Cass shows up. The Mamas and the Papas’ songstress plays Witch Hazel, wearing a putty nose, an orange and black gown, and a red rat atop her head. Mama Cass reportedly took the role as a favor to her neighbor, Sid Krofft.
Hazel is the rival sorceress to the TV show’s staple-villain, Witchiepoo. When she arrives at Witchiepoo’s castle, Hazel’s ready to win the talent competition in the annual Witches’ Convention.
The song forsakes Mama Cass’ usual folk-rock sound in favor of late ‘60s Broadway Rock. She belts out a beautiful song titled “DIFFERENT,” leading a chorus of funky, feel-good witches. This number is to PUFNSTUF what Tim Curry’s Halloween song is to THE WORST WITCH. It deserves its own renaissance, and it should become a regular routine for all Drag shows in October.
The coven sings lyrics like:
Different is hard
Different is lonely
Different is trouble, for your only
Different is heartache
Different is pain
But I’d rather be different than be the same!
This song is an anthem for outcast children at the matinee screenings of PUFNSTUF, a rallying cry for nerds, geeks, dweebs and dorks. The message-heavy lyrics (penned by Normal Gimble with songwriting partner Charles Fox) are more than just platitudes when sung by a coven of fabulous ‘70s witches. The soundtrack is now out of print, but “DIFFERENT” will strike a chord with weirdo kids of all ages in every decade.
Billie Hayes, whose portrayal of the flamboyantly and comically wicked witch Witchiepoo on the 1969-70 Saturday morning live-action children’s classic H.R. Pufnstuf, died of natural causes April 29 at Cedar’s Hospital in Los Angeles. She was 96.
For example, the Strength card may show a fierce and powerful lioness, representing courage and inner strength, while the High Priestess card may depict a regal black cat with glowing eyes, symbolizing mystery and intuition. What sets the cat-inspired pagan tarot apart from other decks is its ability to capture the essence of the feline spirit and incorporate it into the interpretation of each card. Cats are known for their independence, grace, and keen instincts, qualities that can be associated with different aspects of life. By using this deck, individuals can tap into the unique energy of cats and gain a fresh perspective on their tarot readings. Whether you are a cat lover, a pagan practitioner, or simply drawn to the mysticism of tarot, the cat-inspired pagan tarot offers a delightful and insightful journey into the world of divination. Its enchanting illustrations and symbolism make it a valuable tool for anyone seeking guidance, inspiration, or a deeper connection with the mystical forces at play in their lives. Embracing the cat-inspired pagan tarot can illuminate the path towards self-discovery and transformation..
Reviews for "Cat Archetypes in Pagan Tarot Readings"
1. Susan - 2/5 stars - I was really excited about the "Cat inspired pagan tarot" deck because I love cats and I'm very interested in paganism. However, I found this deck to be quite disappointing. The artwork is cute and whimsical, but it lacks depth and symbolism that I was hoping for. The guidebook is also lacking in explanations and interpretations, making it difficult for a beginner like me to understand the meanings of the cards. Overall, it feels more like a novelty item rather than a serious tool for tarot reading.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - I have to say, I was extremely disappointed with the "Cat inspired pagan tarot" deck. The illustrations are poorly executed, with unimpressive digital artwork that lacks detail and precision. The symbolism is also confusing and doesn't align well with traditional tarot meanings. The guidebook is even worse, with minimal information and interpretations that are vague and unhelpful. This deck feels like a cash grab, capitalizing on the popularity of cats and paganism without putting much effort into creating a quality tarot deck.
3. Emily - 2/5 stars - As a tarot enthusiast, I was excited to try out the "Cat inspired pagan tarot." However, the deck fell short of my expectations. The artwork, while cute, lacks the depth and complexity I usually look for in tarot decks. The guidebook is also disappointing, as it only offers brief and simplistic interpretations of the cards. I feel like this deck is more suitable for cat lovers than serious tarot readers. If you're looking for a deeper and more meaningful tarot experience, I would recommend exploring other options.
4. David - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the "Cat inspired pagan tarot" deck, but sadly it was a letdown. The artwork is adorable, but it lacks the sophistication and symbolism that I value in a tarot deck. The guidebook is also quite limited, providing only basic meanings for the cards without delving into deeper interpretations or offering any guidance for readings. While this deck may appeal to cat enthusiasts, it falls short for those seeking a more profound and nuanced tarot experience.
