The sooo-gorgeous-she-can’t-possibly-be-mortal actress, Gabrielle Anwar, slipped into the conversation with a writer during a recent interview that she is Pagan! You GO girl!
The 37-year-old divorced mother of three was discussing her desire not to marry again. “I’m a … pagan and this isn’t for me. This institution that was invented to control women and I’m not willing to be controlled any longer.”‘
Now if all the others would just come out of the closet… I could name loads of famous people who are deists, pantheists and atheists, but to my knowledge, there is only one other openly Pagan actress–Fairuza Balk–who, by the way, looks positively stunning in this photo I found of her recently.
What a contrast from her look in The Craft –a movie I think is worth watching but not meant to be taking too seriously (for obvious reasons).
Some speculate Cybil Shepherd may be a Pagan. Wikipedia has posted a quote attributed to her (I have not verified the validity of this statement nor do I know how to) that has her identifying her religious beliefs as “goddess-worshipping Christian Pagan Buddhist.”
Many of us desperately want Stevie Nicks to be a Pagan. She certainly looks the part. But she has denied that she is, and Stevie doesn’t come across as the type of woman who would be afraid to tell us if it were indeed true.
She can’t really blame us for believing she’s a fellow Pagan. In a Google image search for her I found no fewer than three photos of her wearing three different cloaks, another with her photographed in front of a blown up image of the full moon, and the lyrics in much of her music strongly implies she’s a Pagan.
Take Rhiannon, for example. She didn’t just like the sound of the name Rhiannon (which is very pretty I must admit). She knew the story of this legendary Celtic goddess.
I found this quote from Stevie regarding the song, “Rhiannon is the story of a lady that is from another world ~ called the Bright world ~ and she leaves her kingdom to become the wife of a king ~ a mortal king ~ but goddesses really can’t marry mortal kings, if they do they lose their powers ~ their magic powers.”
Hmmmmm…. Are you sure you’re not Pagan, Stevie?
