Quick Note: That Trick Never Works

Note to my fellow Pagans and Witches: threatening to hex the police officer won’t get you out of a ticket.

But, sometime the most memorable stories are just the reactions from drivers, such a witch stopped by California Highway Patrol Officer Tom Maguire . “I was hexed by a witch,” said Maguire, who works in the CHP’s Contra Costa office. “I stopped a lady for a speeding ticket, and she said, ‘I’m a Wiccan,’ and that I would have a lifetime of bad luck.”

You have to figure the CHP are used to pulling over people adept in the occult sciences by now, they’d know that a Wiccan isn’t supposed to bring down a lifetime of bad luck down on someone just because they got caught speeding. Looking at past occasions of Pagans having trouble with the law, I’d say that the gods/powers/universe have no problem seeing you get caught if you do something foolish.

    If she had set up her protection on her car right she would not have been given the ticket in the first place.

    If it is true that she threatened to hex him, the woman is sad sad sad and needs reculing (that's special Wiccan language for a kick up the unmentionables).

    "Why must the buttheaditry inclined ruin it for the rest of us? "

    I'll bet that's just what the rank-and-file Christians think about Westboro Baptist.

    It is the role of the media to define every aspect of society by its most extreme element.
