> Wiccans or witches meet every Friday night at a gathering called an
> "esbat." They draw a magic circle with a six-pointed star in it called a
> "hexagram", from which we get the word "hex." The coven of 13 stand "sky

>                               Eight times each year, the witches

>                               As darkness set in on October 31st, the

>                               As we can clearly see, Halloween is not

> television programs such as "Charmed" are teaching witchcraft to millions.
> The Harry Potter books are likewise furthering the cause of Satan!
> Halloween is no joke and is not harmless fun!
