The Occult in DC

TRIGGER WARNING:  In which I suggest it might be real and for sure is evil.

For John, BLUF:  I guess Ms Sally Quinn (wife of Wash Post editor Ben Bradley (Watergate)) believes in this sort of thing, but one would think she would be mature enough to keep it to herself.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Sally Quinn’s Next Act

The sub-headline:

Three years after Ben Bradlee's death, she has a memoir about embracing the supernatural. (She's given up the dark arts, though.)

From The Washingtonian, one of at least two outlets with this story.  The writer is Micheelle Cottle and the dateline is 27 Aug 2017.

Here is the second paragraph:

It’s a gorgeous spring morning, and Sally Quinn—the hotshot journalist turned wife of legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee turned gatekeeper of Washington society turned religion columnist and about-to-turn evangelist for mysticism, magic, and the divine—is tucked into a wicker settee behind her Georgetown mansion, awaiting the arrival of an ABC News crew.

Folks, this is not Christianity, or Judaism, or even Islam.  This is about the embrace of the other side.  To quote from the article, Ms Quinn is:

...a believer in the occult and as an erstwhile practitioner of voodoo...

The thing is, it is probably real, and it is for sure wrong.  Remember, Samuel, now deceased, is very grumpy about being summoned by the Witch of Endor (First Samuel, Chapter 28:3–25).  King Saul should not have been doing such things.  And it turned out poorly for him.
