I'm not surprised that Fox has finally booted O'Reilly. When my first memoir, Book of Shadows, which dealt with the contrast between discovering the magic of the Goddess and the day to day reality of sexual harassment as a young lawyer, was released in '98, I was interviewed on O'Reilly's show. How ironic. I've always been proud that I'd been able to win him over. I knew that fighting wouldn't work, so before my segment I asked the make-up artist for advice. She chuckled and told me that he liked "pretty women" and that if I "flirted with him" I'd be fine. I didn't flirt, but when the hardball questions came at me, I did use humor and charm and the interview went well. "Soft overcame hard" but when the segment was over, I got to leave. The second time I went on his show for my next book, WitchCrafting, O'Reilly respectfully introduced me as his "Wiccan friend" and we talked about the rights of Pagans in the military and women as Priestesses. I've never liked his politics and find his sexual predation pathetic and disgusting, but I appreciated the opportunity to stand up for what I believed in and I'd do it again, no matter how challenging or creepy my opponent might be. In the toxic patriarchy created by Roger Ailes at FoxNews, O'Reilly could abuse the enormous power that he had by abusing women. And so Bill and I won't be having any more conversations about Pagans, or the egregious role of religion in demeaning and thwarting the rights of women, or how sexuality can be sacred rather than exploitive when we reconnect to the divinity of the natural world and heal how unnatural we've become. But I will have those conversations with whoever takes his place. In the end, the arc of history, media, culture and religion all bend towards justice.
