Whatever is going on with one of his parents, he's a kid and should be left alone. Jason, take the pic down maybe? It's really not about them. BB

I don't have much respect for Hovey. I don't know her personally and never met her, but from what I read in the stories about her conversion, she's pretty typical of the "ex-witch" ministry crowd. She claimed to have been a Wiccan for 30 years and high priestess for 20, but said things that indicate a VERY shallow understanding of the path. Chief among those is the idea that Wicca's (and paganism's) lack of a long list of proscriptive commandments means that we feel no accountability toward anything greater than ourselves. That kind of rubbish is to be expected from 15-year-old dabblers who want to wear a pentacle as a mode of rebellion against their parents, but a high priestess? That's sickening that some tradition actually ordained someone like that, or that she could usurp a title and take advantage of followers for years in a religion she knew nothing about and obviously never practiced in any deep way. Calling her an "ex-Wiccan" is a stretch. She's an opportunist who looks for followers, personal accord and perhaps dollars in whatever venue seems most promising.

[...] her show with Fiona Horne. For a full recap of these shows and excellent commentary, click here and here. I wonder what these witches set out to do, and how did it all fall out when it was all [...]

I do have an issue with the person. I knew and dated her while in college and she was a pathological liar who followed the Jewish faith and went by a completely different name. Her first name was Carolyn but out of respect for her family I will not post her last. I have no doubt that this is an effort to exploit the “Not-For-Profit” status that a church and/or clergy enjoy and to bilk her congregation out of any monies that they choose to contribute. I can not fault them as she can be quite engaging but please know and be aware of what you are contributing to. She will ride this train as long as she can and will then move on leaving her “congregation” confused, lost and pennyless.
