Practicing witch Fiona Horne was the guest for the middle two hours of Monday's show. Dispelling myths about Wicca, Horne said that she used the earth-based practice to help and heal, rather than to harm. She views Wicca as a "spiritual path rather than a religion," which has allowed her to create her own faith, instead of following a set dogma.
"I don't believe God is something other than me," she said stressing the importance of the individual and their body.Further, "if God is to survive it depends on the diversity of his love," she related, from a recent epiphany.The degree to which one gains spiritual understanding from Wicca can vary. "The world answers according to the questions you ask of it," she said.
The Jersey Devil
First hour guests James McCloy and Ray Miller Jr., the authors of The Phantom of the Pines, discussed the case of "The Jersey Devil," in which sightings of a strange creature date back hundreds of years. While descriptions of it have varied, in some ways it parallels the Mothman, said Miller, in that they are both reported to have wings and glowing eyes.
The authors believe that the creature is indigenous to the Pine Barrens, a large forested area in Southern New Jersey, though there were reports in 1909 that it flew over Philadelphia. The most recent sighting was in 2000 near Trenton said McCloy, with the witness describing it as having the "head of a collie, the face of a horse and the body of kangaroo."
