Every year around this time the mainstream press notices pagans, especially Wiccans. (Though
chronarchy has been known to do
special help with outreach later in winter.)
Locally, the daily paper
discovered the weekly hangout of the
Canton Area Pagans. (
nontacitare and I have missed that gathering lately due to work, though I briefly considered going this week.) Interesting that they start the story with "Don't call them witches."
Then we have the national story of the day,
"School Says Halloween Disrespectful to Witches". The big quote there is, "I do lots of things that are not revolving around wearing a black outfit and stirring a cauldron."
Meanwhile, I still need to think of a costume for this weekend.....
