In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, Western Carolina Pagans help the community, Everglades Moon Local Council releases a statement in support of the Haitian community, upcoming event including EBSAT, Pagan Prides, Twilight Covening, and Hecate’s Sickle next month, and yes, we have been friends with cheeses a long time.
TWH’s Editor-in-Chief, Manny Moreno, responds to the claims that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, are abducting and eating the pets of other residents. The baseless claim has deep roots in racism, xenophobia, and religious intolerance, and has been levied against practitioners of Vodou and modern Paganism.
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes: Vodou temple attacked in Haiti, Haystack monument vandalized, Hocus Pocus 3 announced, Events, and more news.
UNITED STATES – “We boarded up the house and we left town because our house isn’t (concrete) block construction, it’s wood. We live in an area where there are lots of trees and we weren’t confident that a cat 3, 4, or whatever hit land that we would be safe,” said Kathy Lezon, a priestess from Vero Beach, located on Florida’s Treasure Coast. Hurricane Matthew was a slow-moving behemoth of a storm that flared up on Sept. 28 and quickly shot up to hurricane status, at one point topping off the scale as a category 5 storm with sustained winds of 160 mph before weakening slightly to a category 4 before making landfall in Haiti, Cuba, the Bahamas and bouncing along the Florida coast before skirting north along the Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina coastline. It also affected areas well beyond those that were directly impacted.
