I feel sorry for the poor racoon. Another round of witch-bruning anyone?

I did not know that psychic telephone businesses were wiccan enterprises...
oh, please! That is like saying "I didn't know "Onward Christian Soldiers" was a fight song for the War on Terror!

I agree about the raccoon. Bleah! Even if they did find it dead, as they claimed.
It sounds like it was a really petty, personal quarrel, too. It takes a really small, probably immature person to resort to negative magic out of nothing but sheer spite.
<shakes head in disapproval> I'm Wiccan, and I really hate to see such happen.
Burning's a bit extreme, though <grin>. The "victims" did the right thing by taking the matter to court and handling it mundanely. I can just see the judge in that hearing, though, wondering how he gets all the odd cases. I remember an episode of Babylon 5, in a court hearing where the descendant of a human UFO abductee was suing the descendant of the alien abductor for damages. The presiding judge in that court wondered the same thing.

Raccoons can be found on the side of the road dead all over New England, there is even one up the street from my house, I doubt they went out and found a live one and killed it

Probably not. I remember such from my youth in New Hampshire. There's usually no shortage almost anywhere of dead animals by the side of the road. Down here (Virginia), I see so many dead deer by the road that I'd swear the favorite deer-hunting weapon locally was a pickup truck.

"I'm not touching that one... Tell the judge to throw it out, stupid idiotic people...."
But seriously, Wiccans and pagans have a hard enough time as it is without some lunatic trying to make it even worse for us. Ahh... religious insecurity, what a scream.
it does sell newspapers, though.
