I am still in shock from the turnout of so many wonderful people for the 4th Annual Witches’ Walk.
I am also still in shock from being presented with a beautiful plaque. I was speechless, humbled and blessed to receive it. Thank you all!
I accepted the Plaque for All Women!
It is said, Margaret was called an “Extraordinary Woman”. That led to her being falsely accused of being a “Witch”.
All Women are Extraordinary in their own way - does that mean we women are Witches? We were last Saturday as we walked together in Remembrance of all who were/are falsely accused, misunderstood, and ignored.
I love the line on the Plaque that reads, “What was once spoken of an extraordinary woman in judgement, we now speak of you in honor.”
