Satanism and Occultism is obviously considered non-mainstream in America. However, paganism-inquiry films (some rather well-made) such as Halloween III: Season of the Witch and The Devil's Advocate and The Ninth Gate explore a modernism civilization fascination with the metaphysical implications of pluralism and free-speech 'dialogue.'
When the Rolling Stones released their controversial pseudo Beatles-parody album Their Satanic Majesties' Request, people took note of how the Bohemianism 'flavor' of the 1960s radically-liberal (and pro-populism pageantry) counter-culture movement opened unusual doors of pluralism discussion in an emerging world of globalization-politics.
One year later, Roman Polanski released his controversial Satanism-magnification film Rosemary's Baby (starring the very popular and well-respected actress Mia Farrow), and then people were seriously talking about a new cultural 'aura' of pluralism 'excitement.'
Two decades later, Roger Donaldson released his provocative feminine-mystique monstrosity sci-fi horror film Species (about a lab-reared 'golden female' humanoid who turns out to be a pro-survivalist 'behemoth'), and people were talking about how media-catalyzed democratic networking (e.g., CNN) was fostering a new kind of 'pluralism-intellectualism dialogue.'
We have to therefore ask how media and globalization have crystallized a civilization interest in pluralism-related 'creative think-tank activity' (e.g., Sally Jesse Raphael).
Donald Trump, a casino-mogul, is the first 'celebrity U.S. President' since Ronald Reagan, and Trump inherits an America thick in the mire of 'active consumerism/capitalism geo-political inrigue' (e.g., 9/11, NATO, OPEC, European Union, etc.), so how will this modern environment of 'pluralism grids' inspire more open dialogue about 'religious storytelling'?

Two women, Sarah and Stacy, were sisters living in post-colonial Massachusetts. Sarah became a practicing Wiccan (witch), while Stacy decided to adopt the faith of the Occidental Catholic Church. Sarah and Stacy became symbolic 'twin-sisters' of American history (and feminism-rhetoric), and their respective female descendants Annabelle (a CNN journalist) and Alice (a feminism professor at Sarah Lawrence College) decided to tell their stories in the threads of 21st Century media. Annabelle and Alice found themselves simultaneously studying a cultural phenomenon involving Facebook/Napster and pluralism liberal trends in society etiquette (e.g., MTV) and their applications to feminism.
Annabelle was interviewing First Lady Melania Trump at the White House about new directions in genetic-engineering inquiries at the Human Genome Project involving 'baby-trait shopping,' and Mrs. Trump remarked how in some cultures, first-born sons (heirs to thrones/principalities) are more 'prestigious' than first-born daughters. Meanwhile, Alice was investigating new routes of controversial stem-cell research at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in southern California and their relevance to feminist discussions in Washington (e.g., women's rights of patient-confidentiality and news-disclosure to the press). Annabelle and Alice decided to meet for lunch and discuss their intersecting work-related activities and thoughts.
ANNABELLE: I remember hearing stories of Sarah and Stacy from our parents, Alice...
ALICE: Yes, they were 'symbolic women' in American storytelling.
ANNABELLE: How do you feel about this new trend in gender-rhetoric?
ALICE: I'm intrigued by investments by scientists as much as those by politicians...
ANNABELLE: I agree. Melania Trump had a lot to say about women's voices in genetics-research!
ALICE: Why not? There are numerous modernism films about genetics-intrigue (e.g., Gattaca).
ANNABELLE: I remember enjoying listening to the Rolling Stones Satanic Majesties' album in college...
ALICE: It's amazing what culture can do for education and even student life.
ANNABELLE: That will affect future leadership (and even diplomacy).
ALICE: Do you realize how many women are on Facebook these days?
ANNABELLE: Maybe prominent female athletes in the media contributed to this new 'pluralism fervor.'
ALICE: Sure. Steffi Graf, Nadia Comaneci, Serena Williams, and Nancy Kerrigan all affected 'gender chatter.'
ANNABELLE: I wonder if they still persecute female witches in backward rural-white towns in America...
ALICE: Well, I'm sure such women (if they still exist) find access to more favorable environments now.
ANNABELLE: Let's hope our work and the legacy of Sarah and Stacy solidify such 'confidence.'
ALICE: Hollywood recently made gender-flair films such as Working Girl, Supergirl, and Girl6.
ANNABELLE: This will undoubtedly impact our species' "free-speech phenotype."
ALICE: I'd like to see more media talk about the fictional comic book avatar Scarlet Witch (Marvel Comics)!
ANNABELLE: Scarlet Witch is to 'pop-graffiti' what Aunt Jemima was to 'pop-marketing' in the 20th Century.
ALICE: That's arguable, but what is certainly 'imaginative' is reorientations of gender-related yellow-journalism.
