Fiction, yes, but it's easy to see parallels between Baba Boogie and the screenwriter, Zsuzsanna Budapest. For 50 years, Budapest dedicated much of her life to creating and disseminating Dianic Wicca - a feminist, Goddess-centered spirituality she originated in Los Angeles in the 1970s. "We helped him by preparing the women - giving them counseling, holding their hands and absorbing their stories. They were never good stories."
It was at the center that Budapest first coined the name Z Budapest. Budapest collected these in her first book, "The Feminist Book of Lights and Shadows."
"Women studied with Z and then went on to form covens of their own," Magliocco said.
The day before the proceedings Budapest held a news conference at the Los Angeles Press Club declaring herself the first witch to go ontrial in 300 years.
One of the arresting officers testified that as Budapest was escorted out of her store, she said: "I'm glad you arrested me. You are going to make me famous and rich." But Budapest remembers the trial as a difficult time. "We use them in initiation rituals. The goddess is not just light, she is death, she is Kali."
These days Budapest is largely retired from ritual work, but still invites controversy and criticism, sometimes from fellow feminists.
