Woman Arrested for Yelling Witch Chants (Wi-"Brenna Raven Moonfire")
TMJ4-Milwaukee ^ | 08-15-07 | Katie DeLong

Posted on 08/16/2007 7:52:13 AM PDT by 14themunny

A Waukesha woman was arrested early Tuesday morning for disturbing neighbors by yelling witch chants around a bonfire she built 10-feet from her home, police Capt. Mike Babe said.

Brenna K. Barney, 42, told police that they were infringing on her religious beliefs since she is a Wiccan and she was performing a ritual because of a new moon, Babe said. She said her name is Brenna Raven Moonfire.

Criminal charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct were filed against Barney in Waukesha County Circuit Court.

Police may also give Barney a ticket alleging negligent handling of burning materials, Babe said.

Neighbors in the 2300 block of Madison St. called police at 12:11 a.m., Babe said.

When an officer arrived, he heard the woman yelling in the backyard and found her wearing headphones, a T-shirt and underwear, Babe said. The officer tried to get her attention by shining a flashlight on her but she continued yelling her chants.

At one point she poured lighter fluid on the fire, which was 10-feet from her residence

“T-shirt and underwear” - clearly a compromise, since these rituals are to be performed “skyclad” - i.e. nude.

“Brenna Raven Moonfire. “
If I’m going to be a tolerant of other people’s beliefs as I say I am, I need a little help.
1) Don’t invent names that better fit your Dungeons and Dragons character.
2) Don’t create a spectacle and then complain that people stare at you.
3) Don’t join a cult.

Perhaps we should create our own religion. Something like violating our rights if we even SEE Hilleary’s thighs on public television since that is commandment #1, no public display of horrid nasty sights especially ON a horrid nasty sight.....

Shouldn’t the headline be “Woman arrested for building bonfire 10 feet from house in residential district”?

I worked with a guy who built a huge concrete barbeque grill on his property so he could burn leaves and other yard detritus that is illegal to burn in my area. BBQs (or more correctly grills) are legal, so he sort of got around the burning laws that way.....

....I dont know if they ever called him on it.

I’m guessing it was the bonfire ten feet from her residence which generated the call to 911.

more from article...

She continued to be belligerent and the officer could smell alcohol on the woman’s breath, Babe said.

Four officers responded to the scene and were able to take the woman into custody. She was first taken to Waukesha Memorial Hospital where she continued to yell and swear at officers and hospital staff, Babe said.

After she was medically cleared, she was taken to jail.

I wonder what the words to her witch chants were?
What do witches say when they do this stuff? Anyone?

-how about it’s a hot night and her chanting and smoke woke her neighbors? Sounds like she was on more than booze.

Yes. The headline was written to deliberately mislead and get other witches upset so that they would bitch and moan and create fires at midnight and throw snail eggs on the fire while chanting to the fire god or whatever the hell witches do.
She was arrested for having a fire near her house and throwing lighter fluid on it.
The newspaper is interested only in fanning the flames of controversy and starting trouble.

"What do witches say when they do this stuff? Anyone?"

I forget how the chants go, but I dated this girl I met on the internet once, and we probably went out about 4 times before I dropped her off at her home after a date, and as I turned to leave, I looked up above her door and said, "uh.. by any chance is that a pentagram made from grapevines?- would you by any chance be a wiccan?" (having red hair should have tipped me off)

And she said she was. I didn't see her after that, but I found out later that sometimes they identify themselves by wearing a ring on their middle finger, and so to disguise that, they'll wear multiple rings. This girl had rings on all her fingers. ha

According to Shakespeare, in Macbeth A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder.

Enter the three Witches.

1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.

2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.

3 WITCH. Harpier cries:—'tis time! 'tis time!

1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go; In the poison'd entrails throw.— Toad, that under cold stone, Days and nights has thirty-one; Swelter'd venom sleeping got, Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!

ALL. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake, In the caldron boil and bake; Eye of newt, and toe of frog, Wool of bat, and tongue of dog, Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,— For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

ALL. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

3 WITCH. Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf; Witches' mummy; maw and gulf Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark; Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark; Liver of blaspheming Jew; Gall of goat, and slips of yew Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse; Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips; Finger of birth-strangled babe Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,— Make the gruel thick and slab: Add thereto a tiger's chaudron, For the ingrediants of our caldron.

ALL. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good.

The actual charge against her was related to running a house of ill repute. It seems that several women who happen to be US legislators showed up after being attracted by her witch chanting....

2) Don’t create a spectacle and then complain that people stare at you.

This also applies to women who dress in a manner that draws unwanted attention.
Go ahead, dress like that, you're free to, but don't get upset when you get "leered" at.

pentagram made from grapevines

***

I’d say that’s funny but - can you see all those sweet ol fashion crafty country shops that women just love to go in, yankee candles, fall wreathes, quilts, early American furniture etc being taken over by witches. Can see it know on the fall issue of Country Living - Are you a Country Witch and The City Witch - Take our test - 25 new ways to add pentagrams to your country decor, 4 famous witches, their homes and how to get the look, Give all your neighbors a grapevine pentagram wreath this fall with your own special touches added - oh well - sure it’s all way beyond this - don’t have an ounce of clue what’s in those potter books etc.

Seriously this woman who Jesus died for needs to get saved - as all men and women do.

It applies to all of us. If you dress like a gansta the police will probably look at you a little more closely. If you dress trashy you will get leered at. If you put on a nice suit and tie, you get taken more seriously. Weird.
