I have issues with the whole thing. As a long time member of the Pagan community (20+ years), a significant portion of it falls into the "New Age" category, which includes Wicca (Witchcraft), Druids (like the ones pictured here), or Goddess worshipers of other forms. For the woman in the video to scoff and dismiss Pagans is a problem, but saying that they look like the KKK is like saying that a group of _________ (fill in the group of white, well dressed, middle class group) looks like a serial killer convention.
Pagans have ceremonial garb. It may include the robes of a Druid, earth tone robes and cloaks (or nothing at all) of Wiccans, the sari of a Hindu or a myriad of other choices. Christians do the same thing, rolling out their "Sunday best" every week.
Many people I know do participate in what we call "prayer with props", or magick, or spells, or what have you. So if you ask, do I believe in spells; yes I do. Whatever name you call it, it's a raising of energy to communicate and request an intercession from the Divine, which is what EVERY religious group does. Pagans I know would give you the shirts off their backs to help, because you are human and need help, regardless of race, creed, faith, or orientation. I doubt the KKK would give the same offer.
