Modern Day Witch Hunt
An Interview with Darla Wynne
By Roxanne Brawley Poole
Exploring the Cauldron – Roxanne Brawley Poole: Thank you so much for agreeing to talk to me and the viewers of Exploring the Cauldron. I will apologize in advance if some of my questions seem repetitive to you. I am sure you have been asked these questions a million
times, but I feel that it is important for everyone who reads this article to fully understand what you are currently going through, as well as what has lead you here.
Darla Wynne: Thanks Roxanne for your willingness to talk with me and share my story with your viewers. I don't mind repetition, due to the fact that it doesn't matter how many times someone hears what has happened in this case, to me, my animals and my property, they still put their own twist to make the victim the villain, so I feel it is important to continue to say it until they hear the truth.
ETC: You were once the Assistant National Director of Witches Against Religious Discrimination (WARD). Can you tell us more about yourself? What brought you to the small town of Great Falls, South Carolina?
Darla: I am a Beltane child, born at 3:55 am in Hobbs, NM on May 1, 1964 to 2 very young parents with a lot of problems. I lived a large portion of my youngest years with my father's parents, whom my grandmother was blind, my grandfather illiterate, which meant Mrs. Roberta took care of all of us to some degree, which was rare in that day because she was black, but it also helped shape my life to how it is now because I have never been prejudiced, nor do I hate because of simple things such as differences, which my grandfather primarily taught me. I can remember his neighbors not being open to Mrs. Roberta handling their finances, being a part of our family and they would brag about hanging people from trees and Papa would walk Mrs. Roberta to the car with a gun and telling our neighbor he had no problems filling him full of holes.
Once my parents divorced and remarried, they began to utilize me as a tool to harm the other for many years later and longed to be with my grandparents, who practiced the Old Ways along with Mrs. Roberta. Before my grandmother went blind, she was an herbal healer and my grandfather communicated with plants and animals, which I believe is also where I receive my gifts of herbal knowledge and my love and passion with animals.

| 31- Samhain |
[Oct. 17th, 2005|12:26 am] |

Samhain (IPA: /ˈsawənʲ/) is the word for November in Irish; the Scottish Gaelic name Samhuinn is closely related. The same word was used for the first month of the ancient Celtic calendar, and in particular the first three nights of this month, the festival marking the beginning of the winter season. Elements of the festival are continued in the traditions of All Souls Day and Halloween. The name is also used for one of the sabbats in the Neo-Pagan wheel of the year.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
I have heard conflicting things about this holliday. Some say it is a day of the dead, some say it is a rebirth, some say it is both. I find it amusing. No matter what it may have been before, Samhain AKA All Hallows Eve AKA Halloween what we have now is a celebration for the children. We must hold to old traditions yes but it should still be a chance for the young ones to prance around as Cinderella or Spiderman without being chastized. I put this forward not to offend anyone, but to just say that everyone -on all sides- has turned this into something it is not. Just enjoy, please, and live for the children.
Blessed be,
The Lady |

Greetings. Needless to say, I am a newcomer. This "blog" will be used as a way to put forth my ideas on my religion as well as hear the opinions of others. I hope to meet many new people during my time on this site. I have much to say, however I must get back to my duties.
Blessed be,
The Lady |
