Witch way to Monroe Clinic?

It seems Monroe Clinic treated a witch in early December. No, she didn’t fly in on her broom and, no, she didn’t have spiders and bats in her hair.
According to the Wisconsin Pagan Trader Newsletter on the Web, “Mama Cat” came to Monroe Clinic Dec. 5 for the second part of a total knee replacement surgery.
Mama Cat’s daughter, “Daughter of the Moon,” posted the blog entry in the newsletter.
Daughter of the Moon has studied Wicca for around 20 years. Mama Cat is the high priestess of Four Winds Sanctuary in northwest Illinois, according to the sanctuary’s Web site.
The site describes Four Winds as “comprised of solitaries of many paths, we came together as a community to share stories, drum dreams and teach each other the lessons we have learned on our path.”
Mama Cat’s husband is “DragonSeeker.” The sanctuary consists of herb beds with small shrines tucked away in almost every one, hidden behind the large three-and-a-half staff garage “which in turn hides the sanctuary from prying eyes,” the site says.
Four Winds also includes an outdoor altar and a bench for meditating. A small pond in the lower deck of the house bubbles from the waterfall in the center.
Butterflies, whitetail deer, wild turkey, opossums, raccoons and other wildlife can be seen every day.
The sanctuary consists of only two acres, of which part is the house and garage of Mama Cat and DragonSeeker.
“We like it that way,” the site says, “since we all know each other, trust each other and know how each other feels.”
Ironies
On a recent phone call to Lafayette County University of Wisconsin-Extension to talk to new Dairy and Livestock Agent Dave Wachter, a receptionist said he was out of the office because he had to put cattle, which had broken free, back onto his property.
A recent visit to a restaurant in Monroe yielded an unusual outcome. On trying to open the handicapped accessible door, it was locked.
