Witchy Discernments and Witchy Facts: Christine O'Donnell

It's not illegal to be a witch in the United States. Or, for that matter, a Satanist (i.e., "devil worshipper.") It's not illegal to be a Muslim, or an atheist in the United States. But from the reactions of many to Christine O'Donnell, who are freaked by the idea she might have been a witch, you'd think it was illegal. The same mechanisms in people who are "afraid" Obama is a Muslim, as if that's an illegal act.

Fear of witchery is of course combined with pure stupid ignorance. An airhead goes blithely off with some edgy punk boyfriend who's "dabbling" in devil worship, witchcraft er, whatever.  Not only from those afraid O'Donnell is, or was, a witch, or is harboring some kind of dormant witch gene that will  spontanely possess her, but O'Donnell herself. Here's what she said in 1999 on the Bill Maher show:

She's so stupid she can't tell the difference between Wicca, witches, and Satanists. Neither can most of America.

People are also blaming Maher for this. All he did was have her on his show; she said it, he didn't.

Here's another fact: witchcraft, Wicca, are protected by the U.S. Army. You have the legal right to be a witch and practice that religion under the "natural relligion" category. For more on this visit the Religious Tolerance site. This doesn't stop the ignorant, the snarky, and the religious intolerants from doing their best to spread fear and persecute those who are practicing witches, but it's encouraging, a bit.

A.M. Murphy: New BOA Contributer

Tim Binnall's Binnall of America has a new writer: A.M. Murphy, who has a great first article for her "Not Always So" column. In her first column -- Perilous Objects and Ghostly Handprints:
Women in Esoterica -- Murphy discusses women in esoteric research. While it's obvious that women have always been in the background of UFO, paranormal and Fortean studies, a subtle contradiction is at work. Women have always been firmly entrenched in esoterica; some could say the anima is of that world, hence, the on-going war from the male view against the "divine feminine." Murphy writes:

Women are still not well-represented among UFOlogists or cryptozoologists, but our leadership in the esoteric field literally goes back to prehistory. We belong here.

Graham Hancock writes about female handprints that appear in shamanic cave art from 30,000 years ago, at the very dawn of human consciousness. In the caves at Delphi, generations of female oracles are believed to have squatted over a rift in the rock, inhaling hallucinatory gases that wafted up from the belly of the earth. The Delphic oracles were routinely consulted by heads of state, as was a Biblical prophetess named Deborah who literally led 10,000 men to victory in battle.

Murphy goes on to cite more examples, following a history beginning with cave paintings to the present, along with the still very much present intent of many cultures and religions to virtually annihilate the feminine within the esoteric.

A Little Experiment: Pendulums, Telepathy and Aliens

I have an article up at UFO Digest on my personal experience with UFOs and aliens: A Little Experiment: Pendulums, Telepathy and Aliens

Three different times I’ve had the eerie experience of knowing that “they” were in the room with us. Who “they” are, I’m not sure, but a few things I just know to be true are: “they” are related to UFOs, “they” are not human, and yet have a connection to us, and “they” are very much aware of us; far more than we are of them

La Befana

A few years ago I happened to be in Italy right before Christmas. Everywhere I went the street vendors and shops were selling Christmas related ornaments. I saw lots of Santa Claus, known as Babo Natale in Italy and the expected Nativity Scenes. I also kept seeing something strange, witches on broomsticks. At first I thought they were leftover Halloween ornaments, but there were just too many and I finally had to ask why people were hanging up witches for Christmas.

The witch actually has a name, La Befana. She arrives after Christmas on January 6th for the Epiphany celebration. In the past she was thought to be evil and bells were rung to keep her away. Now she is considered mostly good. If you have been a good child she will leave candy or fruit. If you have been bad she will leave onions and garlic.

The story is that La Befana was asked by the three wise men to go with them in search of the baby Jesus, but she declined saying she had too much housework to do. Later she changed her mind but couldn’t find the 3 wise men. So now every year she rides her broom delivering goodies to children in hopes that she will find the Christ child and be able to give him gifts.

It became obvious to me that La Befana is mostly used for trying to scare bad children. While you will see a few representations of her as a kindly looking old woman the vast majority show a hideous “old hag.”

I never did get to buy one of the La Befanas while I was there. I seemed to always be rushing around and not have the time. Makes me sad, I would like to have a witch to hang up for Christmas.
