Witches Gather To Celebrate Samhain
Author: Constance See Source: Whitefish Pilot (MT)
Title: WITCHES GATHER TO CELEBRATE SAMHAIN
A group of Flathead Valley witches gathered around the bonfire celebrating Samhain, All Soul's Day, aka Halloween, last Saturday evening at a private home in Ferndale.
Samhain, "summer's end," when the thin veil separating worlds is at its most vulnerable stage, is one of eight holidays celebrated by Wiccans referred to as "Sabbats." It's a time for reflecting upon the past year and honoring loved ones and pets that have crossed over the veil to death.
Greg Donnolley and his wife Ann, of Bigfork, are both witches who practice the religion of Wicca. Raised Catholic all the way through college, Greg said he was in first grade the first time he questioned his faith and determined it wasn't working for him.
"A nun told me that dogs can't go to heaven," Donnolley said. "I knew then that something was wrong with that religion."

It actually looks like she's holding it under her arm (as to why she would, you've got me) . I didn't notice it until I read your comment and had to go back and look. ^__^

that paints a positive outlook on Wicca. To bad most of the main stream media only notices Wiccans on or around Samhain/Halloween..we are around the other 364 days, ya know?!
