Neo-pagan families and modern witches reveal why they've been hesitant to 'come out of the broom closet', talking frankly about their little known and often misunderstood religions, and addressing issues of prejudice, family and faith.

Synopsis

SECRET CIRCLES, HIDDEN PRAYERS follows a cross-section of Americans who consider themselves Neo-Pagans. In a country where there is a Judeo-Christian paradigm firmly in place, the cost of deviation can be social alienation, and a need for secrecy. At odds with the mainstream, four modern Pagan families reinterpret spirituality outside the conventional American context and reveal why they've been hesitant to 'come out of the broom closet'. In the movie, a solitary practicing Wiccan, or 'witch' talks about her childhood growing up as a Christian and what led her to Wicca. A Pagan family addresses issues and fears they have raising children under their faith. And a Nevada war widow fights to get her husband's religious emblem recognized by the Veteran's Administration.
