whiporwill-o Violet Song jat Shariff It kind of seems like a publicity thing. I mean really, who would there be to declare her the "official" witch of Salem?? Who would get together to vote on that? Would it be like Witch Idol or something? "In 1977, Laurie finally received the title she had long been seeking and was named ‘the Official Witch of Salem’ by the then governor of Massachusetts ‘Michael Dukakis’. He bestowed upon Laurie the states Patriot Award, known as the ‘Paul Revere’ citation, this is an historical award issued by the Governor to honour citizens of the state for their public service. The citation for the award is signed by the Governor and the Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and in her case it reads: “I proclaim Laurie Cabot the Official Witch of Salem for her work with children of special needs”. " source: http://www.controverscial.com/Laurie Cabot.htm
*nods* That too.
I don't have much use for her, really. She's always seemed like a showboater, very sensationalist, and she books suffer from revisionist history and poor research. Her bit on 'Stephen Fry in America' was really really cringe-worthy, as well:
"Witchcraft is my religion - Wicca has become a colloquialism meaning witchcraft, so people don't have to say the "W" word."
W.T.F!

I haven't met her, although she seems like a nice enough sort. It might be fun to stop by her shop and look around just to say you went, just for gits and shiggles, that is if your going to be in that neck of the woods anyway.
I read her book Power of the Witch, and even though I didn't agree with everything it contained, (I find I rarely do) it was a good read, and it helped me with medidtating. I have a very active mind, extreamly hard to quiet, and I found some of the exercises for relaxing and meditating to be very helpful.
Other than that, I don't judge her, just like some other famous or imfamous characters that publish alot of books and have publicity. I don't have to walk her path, I only have to walk mine.

I've been thinking about this- and it really makes me angry. Isn't that whole thing a violation of the separation of church and state?
