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.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
