Where does she live? It sounds like she lives in the movie town 'Pleasantville' - or worse.

Spending a lot of time in libraries - I one time had the opportunity to witness the 'ousting' of several donated witch-type books and an Oahspe bible. I picked up the Oahspe for fifty cents - which in its original early form is quite a rare book indeed and the librarians hadn't a clue as to its origins and thought it muight be related to the sorcery stuff - which was a 'channeled bible' a derivative 'jihovah' (sic) story by a guy who also founded a nudist colony sometime in the 1850's.

The other books about sorcery were all discarded - I didn't want them. The women were hesitant with eachother - as they didn't want to appear prejudiced or too religious - but the consensus was to deep-six them.

Mary-Anne should come out to California - no one would look twice at a Wiccan - and she could probably find a lot more incense and candles and things out west ;-)

Even in west San Diego, Out near Santee and El Cajon - home to many powerful fundamentalist groups =- no one would dream of complaining to the librarian about sorcery books.

My personal take - is that I think Mary-Anne has some pasts to work out - and she attracts these folks who complain about sorcery - because of her own pasts.

Perhaps she was a high-priestess who drummed out non-comformists in her Irish village in the fifteenth century...

...and now these same folks are coming back and complaining about sorcery
books at the library ;-)

Hey, truth is stranger than fiction!

(no offense is intended Mary-Anne!)
