...SALEM, Mass. – Early last week, The Witch City was also in the news for an act of vandalism that targeted the statue of Samantha from the TV series, “Bewitched.”
Pictures and reports of the vandalism popped up all over social media within a short time of it being defaced.(more)
...Poppy Palin – March 19, 1966 – May 28, 2022
Poppy Palin’s post via Twitter.
Noted artist and author Poppy Palin took her own life late last month. Palin’s works as an author and illustrator included the Wild Spirit Tarot, the Everyday Enchantment Tarot, and The Craft of the Wild Witch.
Palin left multiple posts on social media as a farewell and a homemade memorial service on video stating how she preferred to be remembered. We caution that the video is difficult to watch as she discusses her death by suicide.
