Dear Editor,

This concerning your coverage of Paganicon 2018 (“The Twin Cities—AKA Paganistan—Will Host a World Gathering of Witches”).

In the vocabulary of modern Witches, the word cowan (rhymes with plowin') refers to a non-Witch. It is not necessarily a derogatory term.

Not necessarily.

Permit me to suggest that when next you decide to cover an event in the Pagan community, you might want to consider sending someone a little less...er...cowanish?

Yours most sincerely,

Steven W. Posch
