Salem: Witches, Animal Sacrifice and Petty Dealings

Only in Salem.

I must admit I'm incredibly impressed by how well the article is written. While the content is certainly sensationalistic, (I can just SEE Hollywood's collective brain revving), and it will mean a busy Halloween once this story hits the wires and FARK, (and it will...), the author seemed to stop short of trying to make any statement about Wicca herself which was great.

There are several what I'd call BNF in the Salem pagan community and egos often fly. I stopped being involved in it before Will was born and I miss quire a few friends I made. But the energies are all wonky all over the place and I didn't have the energy or the skill to properly deal with it.

well I have to say for the specific topic this was a well written, unbiased actual 'News' report. No sensationalism, no personal beliefs, just the facts of the case.

Boy, talk about some bad karma there. Yikes.

Kooks like that give a bad name to just about everything they touch. They give new meaning to the term "Wannabe". They were playing at what they thought was witchcraft but obviously had no idea. You're right, though. Didn't seem exploited in the press.
