Bog Witch Uses Her Powers For Good

Author: Community News   Source: The Virginian-Pilot (VA)

Title: BOG WITCH USES HER POWERS FOR GOOD

Samantha Weaver loves to dance beneath the moon near the marsh in her backyard.

"Sometimes I even wear clothes," quipped the 61-year-old Camellia Shores resident. "I'm sure my neighbors think I'm crazy."

Weaver's moonlit "sky-clad" prances aren't just whimsical amusement. They offer her a spiritual connection with nature that she said is part of her heritage.

A local speaker and soon-to-be published author, Weaver claims to descend from a long line of swamp or "bog" witches who hail from Iona, Scotland, an island steeped in mystical lore. For centuries, the first-born daughters in her family were named Iona.

I am so glad to see an article written this well about a woman who professes the name witch. How often do we see these things done in a way that makes fun of the person, portrays them as crazy and what have you. My compliments to the paper and the author for their work.
I will be looking forward to her book next year.



That's Awesome. :) Jul 14th. at 6:50:51 pm EDT

What a lovely day brightener this is! I was feeling a little down when I logged in and this story uplifted my spirits immediately. A little "good magic" there.....



Well Done! Jul 14th. at 2:17:37 pm EDT

And cheers to the Bog Witch for her seeming gift of communication. We could use more like her. I really enjoyed the story of her grand daughter and it sounds like she has written an interesting book. I will look for it when it comes out!
