[Vision2020] Wiccans and Courtney's BLog

[debismith at moscow.com]

Donovan, a careful read would have shown you i was objecting to the graphic image he posted 
next to the article. I had no problem with him posting the article. in fact, i have no problem with 
him posting anything he chooses to post. i was merely clearing up any confusion his posting 
the graphic and the article together might cause for those, like you, who are quite literal 
minded. Wiccans will not be putting that particular image on their gravestones, as it isn't 
Wiccan and in fact is just silliness made up to look scarey.

Hope this clears up your confusion...
Better reading next time.

Dale didn't write the article, he simple posted it. So attacking him
for any inadequacies the Associated Press wrote is misplaced anger.

  Best,

      took a look and it didn't appear to be anything I recognize from
      my knowledge of Wicca, and I kinda wondered if instead it
      resembled something called "bearing false witness."
