"The Lincoln County Witch." , page 7

Well , that's one good memory you have there girl! Most people who have suffered to the extent you and your family have tend to have huge gaping holes in their recollection.

I suppose because you were a quite child, more a witness than say for instance T or Laura were. Your Brother sounds as if he got sucked into it in the way that you eventually become what you despise or fear, but alas he found the error of his ways and has learned.

Now I have to tell you I had a problem with you calling her a witch from the get go because well, I do not see someone like her as anything but just pure evil. No majic or power, just a crusty old bitch with bad intent.

You can find people like her are a dime a dozen in this life to differing degrees. I realize that the only thing you had to cling to was the hope of faith in a higher power, an order and of consequence.

I realize that you could not be expected to under stand, yet I have had several good friends in this life that are what you termed 'witches' and they by NO means have an ounce of ill intent in their bodies.

To even categorize this horrible dark demon son and the mother of darkness in the same light is to me blasphemous for all of the beautiful people that chose to walk in the way of the spirits and as keepers of the light or earth protectors, because without their love and earthly influence you kids could have never survived.

Medicines and healing techniques, have come from the heart of many that you would call and history has called witches.

If Inez was living during the olden days she would have been burning the light bearers at the stake and living the lie of the high and pompous christian. She is a deceiver. They seek out and destroy light and suck the energy from the innocent.

Again I understand why you have been forced to put all non Christians into a category of safe keeping, but then it only serves to make you just like that you are against.

Words fail me when it comes to what your personal experiences have been, yet know this you are not alone, there are so many more that have suffered fates even greater than anything you could possibly imagine and are doing so in this very moment.

You have an opportunity here to rise above what has happened and become a glowing example of how the power of love and of understanding and forgiveness can transform this type of evil energy into something of the divine. It is and was a cleansing of the soul. it was trial by fire. You and your siblings have ventured into the dark night of the soul and have survived to help yourselves grow and to light the torch of compassion for all that are still living in the dark to find comfort and shelter with.

I think your story should go onto the radio program listed above because as I stated also above, people like inez and her son are a cheap commodity and perhaps others in your same situation could hear your story. Only now there are agencies and people out there to stop this kind of madness. Never give up.
