On April 6, 2004 Yorkregion.com ran a feature article on a Wiccan woman in Aurora: "Lady Tahena Starfire likes to say she is out of the closet -- the broom closet. A witch and Wiccan from a very early age, she was born Julie Mark but prefers to use her wiccan names...She has been a Wiccan for more than 22 years and believes she was born to it. 'I was practising it before I knew what I was doing. As a young girl, I was talking to trees and communing with nature and I always found such joy in the changes of the season. In Grade 7, I read a book on witches and witchcraft and I realized this is what I've been doing.' And that, she says, is what Wicca and witchcraft and paganism is all about; it's not a denial of faith; merely a different kind of faith -- one grounded in nature and the seasons; equinoxes and solstices...'[T]here are many who don't come out,' [she said.] 'Take the census, for example. I put on there I was wiccan, but 17 per cent marked "other." Many wiccans did because of fear of what people will think.'"
