Wiccan, Not Wicked
Author: Ott Tammik Source: Oregon Daily Emerald
Title: WICCAN, NOT WICKED
Deborah Snavely cackled wildly when asked if she had a flying broom. For Snavely, a British traditional Wiccan priestess for 13 years, witchcraft is no matter of Hollywood hocus-pocus — it’s a reality.
“Any system of divination is simply a means of accessing a part of our awareness that doesn’t work with the logical brain,” Snavely said, arguing that witchcraft is no more ridiculous than any other religion.
In her teens, Snavely abandoned church and began exploring alternative spiritual philosophies. Now she is a member of the Wiccan priesthood, a denomination of witchcraft whose lineage can be traced back to the 16th century, and whose more ancient descendants were meeting in sacred groves even hundreds of years before that.

“I felt the Eiffel presence of deity…”
This is just incompetence on the part of the reporter. The article is riddled with typos and mis-used homonyms, but this one is so bad it's hilarious!
Other than that, not a bad article. BTWs don't often bother to talk to the press, mostly because of sneering attacks from other kinds of Pagans, but these folks did a decent job of talking about it.
