Casting their spells

My good friend (and Troth Steward for Illinois) Carolyn Reyes made the Trib:

Carolyn Reyes of Albany Park said that as a Heathen, spells are not part of her faith, so the Samantha character in "Bewitched" doesn't accurately depict witches. Heathenism is practical, Reyes said. "Here's a love spell: 'Take a shower, brush your teeth.' Here's a job spell: 'Get a newspaper and check the want ads.' "

Well said, Carolyn! Spoken like a True Heathen!

RedEye talked with real witches who weighed in on their make-believe movie and TV counterparts.
