This New York Post Staffer Is Also a Practicing Witch

A fantastic first-person essay by Liz Pressman.

For the past 42 years, Liz Pressman, currently an archivist with the New York Post, has adhered to the principles of the Wiccan religion. It makes sense that on the weekend preceding Halloween, she would bodly reveal and seriously address that aspect of her life, via a first-person essay put together with the help of colleague Jane Ridley.

The piece, crowned by a striking portrait and the headline “What’s It Like Being a Witch in New York City” (without the question mark), starts off with Pressman recalling how her personal beliefs cost her an investment banking job in the late 1990s.
