As Halloween witches go, Samantha Harvey hardly fits the stereotype. She trades a black dress for jeans and T-shirts, and pointy boots for flip-flops. Her one vestige of sorcery is a house full of cats. Despite the appearance, Harvey, 36, identifies as a bona fide — and benevolent — witch. She teaches witchcraft classes, performs weddings and rites of passage, and her Occoquan shop, 13 Magickal Moons, sells the accoutrements: potions, talismans, crystals and candles. Harvey sat down with The Washington Examiner to share her not-so-spooky beliefs, and how they can deepen our understanding of tonight’s tricks and treats.
