I first sat down with Luna 12 years ago to ask her the following questions, and recently posed them to her again. Luna is still practicing and the coven has dozens of initiated members and friends who stop in from time to time when they feel the desire for spiritual connection. I am no longer a member of the coven, but I have carried with me some beautiful practices from that time in my life, such as the only "rule" of Wicca which I strive for every day: "Harm none, do what you will." Personally, I was in a coven for 10 years, one I started with Luna, a now 50-year-old Milwaukee woman. So much so that being a witch has become more mainstream, and in some circles, fashionable. In recent years, more and more people have understood the difference between the wicked witch of the west and a man or woman who identifies as a witch. More then one million Americans identify as Pagans or Wiccans, two often-misunderstood religions whose practitioners often identify as "witches." Both are nature-based, peaceful, spiritual practices that have nothing to do with Satanism. But she is not the witch we are talking about here. She is everywhere in October: on television and decorations, in advertisements, on that hand towel you got from the Dollar Store. Tis the season of the green-faced, wart-sprouting, cauldron-stirring witch.
