Eventually I worked out how to get the photographer to
make me look good. Basically, ask them about their own work: “What have you
been photographing today? What do you like to photograph? How long have you
worked at the newspaper?” etc. And of course I’d try and explain Witchcraft so
that it didn’t seem too weird. But it’s the image that everyone looks at in the
paper. They don’t care so much about the text, although I would get grilled by
other Pagans when the articles came out: “Why’d you say that? Why didn’t you
say this?” And of course my family and relatives were wincing with discomfort
and embarrassment that I would shame them by being interviewed about such a kooky
topic. So again, there was more reason to feel tense about the resultant
article, but I just had to accept that I couldn’t please everyone.
