I'm Addicted to Raven - The Secret Temple - A Pagan Style TV Show

Tweet

Does anybody else watch this fantasy, children's game show, which is shown on CBBC in the afternoon, and on Sunday mornings? I'm hooked on this pagan-style show, starring James Mackenzie, as Raven. He has black feathers in he back of his hair and on the shoulders of his black cloak, so they look like wings, and he carries a staff with a raven's head on it, as shown in the picture. In the show, Raven travels to a distand Eastern Land to retrieve a sacred elixir from the Secret Temple, which will restore his homeland, after it being frozen by Nevar. Four teams of four warriors and Satyarani aid him in his quest. Along the way, the warriors have to undertake certain tests, closely watched by Nevar, who follows them to the Eastern Land after freezing Raven's homeland. The mysterious, cloaked, dark figure of Nevar, uses an all-seeing eye, and his army of demons to hamper their progress. The eye is a dish of water through which he can spy on Raven and his warriors, much like a scrying bowl. Satyarani calls Nevar "The Dark One". The sixteen warriors are wittled down gradually by being eliminated for either running out of time in a timed game, or by being caught by one of Nevar's demons, until three are left. These three make the final quest for the elixir.. two further are eliminated with the winner finding the elixir. The quest ends with a Time of Reckoning when Raven and Nevar fight. Raven falls back and the Temple collapses, but he transforms into his bird form, flies free and meets the winning warrior and Satyarani outside the temple. The winner is presented with a golden staff and bestowed with the title, "(Player Name) Guardian of the Golden Staff, Hero of the Eastern Land, Conquerer of the Temple". He and Raven return to the homeland with the elixir so as to restore it and Satyarani returns to her land. I love this show, even though it's a kid's show. It's quite magickal, and the tests (games) are quite medieval. Does anybody else watch this, and become fascinated with it? If so, what do you think of it, and its pagan, romantic influence on kids? I guess it's not as bad as Harry Potter!
