Is using Magic based on real Pagan/Wiccan/Druid spirituality cliche?

Question

Most shows I watch or books I read that deal with magic often are based on Pagan stereotypes. So I plan to create my own version of magic which I call 'Golden Magic' its based and inspired on nursery rhymes, fairy tales, folklore and mythology.

Golden Magic was created from the dust of the Tree of Life, or World Tree (Yggdrasil was not the only world tree motif in mythology). And it is lead by a Trinity of Gods:

the Almighty Father-the King and Patriarch, protector, wise man, righteous, noble, represents all things good in man.

the Great Mother-the Queen and Matriarch, nurturer, caregiver, wise woman, warrior woman, humanitarian, represents all good things on woman.

the Blessed Child-the gender-neutral Messiah, selfless, loving, angelic and merciful.

and there is the Dark Trinity:

the Beastly Father-the Tyrant and Rapist, brutish, barbaric, bloodthirsty, rigid and vile.

the Dire Mother-the Adulteress and Wicked Stepmother, cold, cruel, shrewish and possessive.

the Willful Child-the Anti-Messiah, spoiled, callous, selfish, undisciplined, prideful and liar.


what do you think? how does it sound?

Answer 1

That sounds awesome! Fiction huh. Okay, that's cool. What are people supposed to say to that question. Most tv shows and movies are based on a certain amount of "real" magic, but not really. It's like special effects and dramatized stories. I think it's good that you have imagination and I hope that your story goes well. : )

Answer 2

I would think that you were trying to start a new religion instead of a new magical art. Don`t dwell on how you think others would think of things, just if you like it yourself or not.

Answer 3

That's nice.
