Utah’s pagan community opens its doors

SOUTH SALT LAKE — Members of Utah’s pagan community are stepping out of the broom closet, as it were, to dispel myths and misconceptions about witchcraft in the land of Mormonism.

They held an open house here on Tuesday, where they answered questions for a few dozen people about their beliefs and put a friendly face on paganism.

“A lot of the misinformation is that witches are evil, that witches are green, that witches are ugly, that witches sacrifice children or eat babies or whatever the case may be, that there is worship of Satan, things of that nature,” said Rita Morgan, who runs Crone’s Hollow, a store in South Salt Lake that sells ritual supplies to pagans.

“None of those things are true.”
