“Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.” One of the most common and well known quotes from Shakespeare’s play Macbeth. The scene is set in a cave, with three witches adding their sinister ingredients to a boiling brew chanting around a cauldron. Since the time when man could first put ink to paper, pagan traditions have been a popular reference in literary art work. Even today in the modern era, pagan allusions can still be seen. From the bluntly obvious Harry Potter novels by J.K. Rowling to more the more subtle references in our favorite comics, Pagan innuendos are everywhere.
