Police allege that a 36-year-old middle-school teacher in South Haven, Michigan "married" one of her former students in a pagan ritual after introducing the child to witchcraft. The student is fourteen. The teacher, "married" to another women, is also the adoptive mother of a small child.
Folks, I don't know if the most creative holy-roller fire-and-brimstone type could have made this up. What's not to object to? Statutory rape, teacher-student relationships, witchcraft, homosexual adoption--even, if you will, bigamy.
The teacher's fellow pagans have largely denounced her alleged behavior, but many of these spooky people defend her. Perusing a wicca site has provided copious amounts of unintentional humor.
Poster Celebwen writes: "I cannot believe the amount of people jumping on the bandwagon to lynch this woman!" Another writes: "Ok, yea sure the teacher might have taken advantage of the girl (I believe love knows no boundries), but isn't life in prison a little harsh. And that's just plain out unfair to use there interest in witchcraft against them." No word yet what the Wicked Witch of the West has to say on this weighty topic, but Marianne opines: "this town is very very small..3000 or so people, very GOP, very right wing..gossip flies and if one would consider ones self a pagan, they sure wouldnt tell anyone here. I have never met this woman, but people in this town are mostly ultra evangelicals..this reminds me of the 80s, when they had all the satanic ritual scares in small town america...The newspaper here is run by conservatives, the police department, very ultra conservative..something sounds fishy to me in all this." "It just sounds too suspicious to me that the woman is a lesbian and a Pagan (maybe)," a web-surfer calling herself "e" explains. "It seems like in a very conservative community they could be looking for any excuse to get her."
Or, perhaps, many pagans are looking for any excuse to provide excuses to the accused sicko.
File this one under gross.
Dungeons & Dragons will make you worship Satan and possibly turn you gay.
This is the sickest story I have heard since Barinelli borrowed Morris's stress relieving machine back in 91.
I remember "the sleeve". Barinelli is sick!
Does this mean I can marry my dog, so long as I dedicate the ceremony to Zeus?
I’m sorry to see the new and more open liberalism is allowing these people to come up out of the cesspools and make it to the fore front of the mainstream news.
Not too long ago, people like this would not admit to one of these ‘lifestyle’ preferences in public, never mind flaunt them and then pull an innocent into their weird little world.
As Ward Cleaver used to say: what is the world coming to??!!
Sometimes overall tolerance by society is not a good thing.
Simply Outrageous!!!! Using a sleeve is sick enough...but to borrow another person's sleeve to gratify yourself goes beyond sick, beyond twisted......this Morris character is a disturbed individual well on his way to becoming the new Richard Speck.
Are you two freakin allright. I google my name and shit like this comes up. Im glad you guys have nothing better to do.
