Out of the Broom Closet and into the...

...well... you know...i know, let's play witches
Heather Arlene Carr, who died after setting a fire in a local park, was participating in a pagan ritual that went wrong, according to her husband. Carr was active among Wiccan groups on social media, operating a Facebook group called Being Pagan - Out of the Broom Closet.
The CBC leaves out a few small details. You have to go to NatPo (click on picture above) to see that Ms. Carr had more than Wicca on her plate...
"Carr was a former social worker in Merritt, who went on long-term disability after three children in her case-management file were murdered by their father, Allan Schoenborn."
See, Glinda... there's a price. This wasn't a 15 year old goth-girl with a snootful of crank. This was an alleged career professional with way too much time (and a medieval belief system) on her hands.

"Organic" is the latin word for "grown in pig shit"...
"If you've had juice from The Big Carrot Natural Food Market in Toronto recently, you might want to get a hepatitis A shot. An employee at the juice bar has a confirmed case of the infection, according to Toronto Public Health."
Yummy.
