Words I Seldom Utter


Cudos to the Washington Post for doing a respectful obituary for prominent local Wiccan Priestess Rosemary Koolman. Other than calling her a "self-proclaimed" witch, they did a decent job. I don't see them calling rabbis "self-proclaimed Jews" or priests "self-proclaimed Catholics." But, as I said, in general, a decent job. May the Goddess guard her. May she find her way to the Summerlands. May her friends and family know peace.

I read the obituary. What an interesting person she was. Good for the Washington Post. Yes, it was a nice article.

You're absolutely right about the Washington Post article; thanks for linking to it through you're comment there.

More currently, Rosemary had been working to get a pentagram engraved on her Pagan veteran husband's tombstone at Arlington National Cemetary.

The first generation of the Pagan Renaissance is passing. May the rest of us pick up the load and carry it forward!
