Racey Yeoman has never been “in the broom closet” so to speak, but neither would she describe herself as a wand-toting witch.
“My 13-year-old son calls me a witch, but that’s how he views it,” she said.
Mrs Yeoman is part of the western suburbs’ largest pagan group, which has been running for five years.
People travel from all over Melbourne to attend the monthly meetings in Werribee. Mrs Yeoman said growing up as an army brat she was exposed to, and fascinated by, many different cultures and religions from Christianity to Hinduism and Buddhism.
She said her own understanding began with how science and belief could work together.
“It’s about working out where you sit in the world. I never quantified my beliefs until I was nearly 30,” she said.
