Judy Ducayne's column, in which she made certain assertions about the Wiccan religion, has had consequences. The most obvious has been the readers' public responses.

The ones less obvious have been the most personal, all of which have been positive and supportive.

One of the consequences she did not intend, nor did I expect, is that she has caused my love life to be revitalized considerably! Who knew?

A very handsome young man, of passing acquaintance, had been wanting to get to know me better for several years - intrigued by Ms. Ducayne's column, he seized the opportunity. Now he knows what a witch is really capable of doing.

I am reminded of a quote from one of my role models, Beatrice Wood of Ojai, Calif. Ms. Wood is (or was) a renowned ceramist and regarded as the “Mama of Dada,” (an impressionist art form).

In a 1996 interview, at the age of 101, Ms. Wood stated “when a young man tells me he loves me, I fall into his lap like a ripe grape!”

Due to this turn of events, I hereby promise not to dry up Judy's cows nor to wither her crops.

I'm much too happy to be bitter.

I wish the same for Judy Ducayne.
