Along with the fall season that leads up to Halloween, many people think of witches on broomsticks and all the concepts that have been popularized over centuries.
But two members of a coven that operates in this region say that Wicca, the religion of witches, is not what most people think it is.
Mark Homler, who lives just off Route 287 near Jersey Shore, is a high priest in that coven and said there are misconceptions that many people carry.
He said his path into Wicca came from disappointment.
‘‘I started out as a born-again Christian, but that didn’t satisfy me because pastors were preaching fire and brimstone and one of the preachers, off the pulpit, was having an affair,’’ Homler said.
