Summary

This is a home compilation of news segments covering various Wiccan and witchcraft topics in Northern California. The first segment concerns the Yuba City Glad Tidings' attempt to boycott the entire Yuba City mall in November 1997 because the Ancient Ways store is "Selling Satan". The second news segment coverage provides a "Bewitching Experience" in San Anselmo as she covers a Brigit Ritual interspersed with comments from an interview with M. Macha Nightmare. An interview with online-priestess Rowan Fairgrove of San Jose who demonstrates how an "extension of magickal energy" can be sent over the internet. Dea Shore, a 12th generation hereditary witch in Sacramento provides details for journalist Michelle Hofland on how to cast a Money spell. Hofland goes through the process for viewers which has intriguing results. A tarot reading by Shore also provides Hofland with home-hitting predictions. In the last news story of this compilation, Karen Bloom takes us to Loomis in Placer County to speak to Kathy Petty and other Wiccans and witness one of their outdoor ritual.
