Subject: Yup, bake sales, their "power" was for sale

They were having bake sales.

from Hush (Season 4)

"(Dorm lounge, several girls gathered for a meeting, including Willow and a shiny new character, Tara)

Wicca1: We come together, daughters of Gaia, sisters to the moon we walk with the darkness the wolf at our side through the waterfall of power to the blackest heart of eternity. I think we should have a bake sale.

Wicca2: I don't know

Wicca1: you guys like a bake sale right? I mean we need money for the dance recital and You know I do an empowering lemon bundt

Wicca2: The most important thing is the Gaian newsletter we need to get the message of blessing out to the sisters. Also who left their scented candles dripping all over my women power shrine?

WILLOW: Well, this is good. I mean, this is all fun ya know, but there's also other stuff that we might show an interest in, as a wicca group.

Wicca1: (hesistantly) like what?

WILLOW: Well, There's the wacky notion of spells, you know conjuring, transmutation

wicca2: Oh yeah, then we could all get on our broomsticks and fly around on our broomsticks

(giggling)

wicca1: (patronizing) You know certain stereotypes are not very empowering.

TARA: I think that...

wicca2: One person's energy can suck the power from an entire circle. No offense.

TARA: (hesitant) Well, maybe we could uh...

wicca2: Yeah, Tara. Guys.. quiet. (to Tara) Do you have a suggestion?

(Tara just shakes her head and looks shyly down, but then she looks at Willow.)

Wicca2: Ok, let's talk about the theme for the bacchanal."


and then later in The Killer In Me (Season 7)

"VAUGHNE: Instill us, oh, great one, with peace, with strength, with compassion, with hope. The path we seek is yours. Keep us on that path.

WILLOW: OK, wow, this is new.

VAUGHNE: Um, hi, we're...

WILLOW (as Warren): Oh, hey. I'm sorry --Willow. We actually met when I was a Freshman. And also not a boy. This is Kennedy.

KENNEDY: Hey.

VAUGHNE: You're Willow?

WILLOW (as Warren): Yeah. Wow, look at you guys. Campus Wiccans. Guess you got past the whole bake sale phase.

VAUGHNE: Uh, no, we still do that too. Second Tuesday of every month. I'm sorry, I'm kind of having a hard time with the whole guy event thing..."



Their power was for sale. Their cookies even. Whereas Buffy shared freely in Chosen.
