6 Official witch’ says
civil rights violated
by biased reports
BOSTON (AP) — A woman ap
pointed the “official witch” of Massa
chusetts in 1975 has begun a letter
writing campaign to protest what she
and other witches believe are viola
tions of their civil rights.
Letters of complaint, stemming
from news reports linking a “witch”
to a cult of drug smugglers con
nected with the ritualistic deaths of
15 people near the Texas-Mexico
border, have been sent to major
newspapers and television networks
by Laurie Cabot’s Salem-based
group, Witches League for Self-
Awareness.
“We are not Satanists; we do not
do black magic or any evil magic,”
said Cabot, who formed the 900-
member group in 1986, shortly after
the filming of “The Witches of
Eastwick,” a movie witches said
made them appear stupid.
“We are trying to raise the con
sciousness of these people so we are
not harmed,” Cabot said. “We need
to separate ourselves from this hate
ful propaganda.”
The witches complained they
have been “portrayed in an inaccu
offensive and libelous manner which
is in violation of our constitutionally
guaranteed civil right to practice re
ligious freedom, as well as freedom
from harassment, discrimination,
persecution, or the incitement of the
public to form adverse opinions of
members of a religious community.”
In group literature, the league is
described as a “national and interna
tional anti-defamation organization
which is working to protect the civil
rights, dignity and public portrayal
of over six million Witches, Pagans
and Pantheists.”
Cabot, dubbed the “official witch”
by Gov. Michael S. Dukakis, said she
and other witches are part of a le
gally recognized religion that is
peaceful and devoid of the evil
doings associated with witchcraft ste
reotypes.
The recent complaints sent to
news organizations such as the New
York Times, the Associated Press
and NBC News stemmed from sto
ries about the murderous cult of
drug smugglers in Texas.
Mexican police have called Sara
Villareal Aldrete, the missing 24-
year-old college student believed to
be one of the cult leaders, a “witch.”
Aldrete has been linked to the 15
victims of the cult, some of which
were unearthed at a ranch south of
the U.S. border last week.
“It’s very loose terminology,” Ca
bot said. “Those were drug runners.
What they were doing had nothing
to do with witchcraft. Witchcraft has
no evil gods.”
Cabot describes witchcraft as a
“nature religion” that uses a mixture
of astronomy, astrology and psychic
powers to heal and make things bet
ter. She said they use potions and
cast spells to promote well-being and
general good.
Witches should not be painted as
people w'ho engage in acts of vio
lence such as animal or human sacri
fice, she said.
