A lot for witches to do

One of the heartening things about writing this blog is which posts get the most hits: the one on the Circle, for example: it is always pleasing to see my fellow witches are hungry to develop their own witchcraft. It's also good to see that the posts on Laurence Soper (you didn't think I'd forgotten about him, did you? - in fact I've done it in such a way that the mere thought of him puts the squeeze on further) have an incredible number of hits. I would like to think that those type of posts act as a call to action, so that anyone of whatever religion who chances upon them will work magic, pray or whatever, to the creation of a world where abuse doesn't happen and the perpetrator gets away with it.
The past few days must have been a busy few days for the world's people of good will: Jeremy Forrest has been imprisoned. The headline in the Metro is 'A School Predator without Remorse,' & the picture they've printed certainly makes him look without remorse, & he mouthed 'I love you' across the court to his victim, which to my mind places him in the same psychopathic category as Laurence Soper. I'm writing this on a bus & don't have tarot cards with me to draw a card on what he's about.
There is *so much* for us to do. There doesn't have to be a reason for it, nor does it have to be because we humans are essentially flawed as the Christians think. The witch's way is not to over-analyse but to turn it into an opportunity.
Another opportunity is to work on real healing for his victim: as far as I know she has not been named, but she seems genuinely to feel that he was protecting her from her own impulses to harm herself. Since this is a public forum I have something to say to her:
He does not have your best interests at heart. You are in a long line of people who, for whatever reason, stay in abusive relationships. He was your teacher, a teacher who cares for his pupils does not seduce them. By weaving this illusion that he was caring for you he has made you believe his lies: the reality is he has seen a way in when you were vulnerable & used you. There are other people out there who will care for you in ways that do not use you: there will be lovers who care for you supremely as a person & will respect you above all else. There will be friends, relatives, & health professionals (yes, them too) who will care for you as a person & will help you not to harm yourself without having that caring turn into a sexual relationship.
Witches: there may be a good work to be done in making Jeremy Forrest realise the error of his ways & learn to respect people as people.
This brings me nicely to the other subject in today's paper which has got me fuming even more. The Care Quality Commission is responsible for ensuring the fitness for purpose of every health provider in the country, & now the shit has hit the fan:
Baby Deaths Cover-Up: Ex-CQC Boss Named
Sky News - 8 hrs ago

The former boss of the Care Quality Commission is among those allegedly involved in a cover-up of the health regulator's failure to investigate a spate of baby deaths.
Ex-CQC chief executive Cynthia Bower was present during a discussion about deleting an internal review which criticised the CQC's inspections of University Hospitals of Morcambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, where a number of mothers and babies had died.
Ms Bower has insisted she "gave no instruction to delete" the report and "would have countermanded" such an instruction.
But she admitted that as the watchdog's boss at the time: "The buck stops with me."
Ms Bower's then deputy Jill Finney and media manager Anna Jefferson were also present when the issue of deleting the report was discussed, a CQC spokesman said after the regulator backtracked on a decision to hide the names of those involved.
Louise Dineley, the author of the review, told independent investigators that Ms Finney had ordered the deletion, and Ms Bower and Ms Jefferson had "verbally agreed".
Ms Finney said allegations that she was involved in a cover-up were untrue. She said she had provided a copy of the internal review to the independent Grant Thornton review team "at the outset".
Her current employer, internet firm Nominet, has sacked her as chief commercial officer because of "increasing public scrutiny" over her former role.
Ms Jefferson, who is still employed by the CQC, said she was "devastated" to be implicated in the scandal. "I would never have conspired to cover up anything," she said.
Their names had initially been redacted from the report, published on Wednesday, following legal advice to the CQC.
However, the regulator's current head, David Behan, said a decision was then made to identify them "in the public interest".
There had been mounting pressure for those involved to be identified and he said it was wrong to have withheld the names.
He told Sky News: "A decision which reviewed the involvement of the organisation ... should have been made in an open and transparent way.
"We failed some people who had trust in our judgement. I think it's absolutely essential that we begin to restore public and political confidence in the CQC."
The independent report suggested that CQC bosses were so concerned about protecting the watchdog's reputation that they ordered the internal review to be deleted because it showed their original inspection was flawed.
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said he was "very pleased" the individuals had now been named.
He said: "It's a sign that the NHS is changing.
"There has been a history of cover-ups for many years but there has to be accountability within the NHS for people's actions when something goes wrong.
"It's to the credit of the new management of the CQC that they got an independent report and did not run away from this problem."
Concerns were first raised about the trust in 2008, but in 2010 the CQC gave the trust, which serves 365,000 people in south Cumbria and north Lancashire, a clean bill of health.
Joshua Titcombe died in 2008 aged just nine days old in Furness General Hospital after staff failed to spot and treat an infection.
His father has previously described news of the cover-up as "shocking".
Ms Bower has resigned from her current post as non-executive trustee of the Skills For Health body after being implicated in the scandal.

Cynthia Bower, Jill Finney & Anna Jefferson, I am calling you out by name. Know that you are on the altar, among paedophiles, rapists & queer bashers, where - in proportion to what you have actually done - the Goddess will give you no mercy.
Cynthia Bower, I note that you are 57: if you think you can just 'do the honourable thing' & retire quietly on you plush pension, you've got another thing coming: you may find it is not performing as well as you think. I am keeping an eye on you & will know what work you get now, even if it is non-executive director or consultancy. You need have no fear if you genuinely did not OK the suppression of that report.
It makes me so mad, these people who have *hugely* paid responsible roles, renege on their duty & either live it up on the money they've accumulated or then appear in some other important role in a few years, that they'll also bollocks up, regardless of the impact on vulnerable people.
Another good & useful work would be to cast a spell on the CQC (don't worry, they're going on the hound's altar as an institution as well as those three as individuals) exposing any remaining corruption or cover-ups.
I wonder how many boards of hospitals & care homes are having emergency meetings to decide what to do if the laundering does happen?
