Question: Do the Coprnice exist in the United States of America? (*)
Public Information:
There was a indigenous dance troupe with this name in Southern California in the 1970’s and I may or may not have personally known some members in it.
The only mention of the other entity Zxxxx Xxxxxx is in three references in that encyclopedia there is no entry with that name.
I remember that question a street person asked about Lucy Lawless. I answered that I did not watch it and did not talk to them. I did not know Lucy Lawless. People that watched the TV show talked about it in public during the time it was being produced and aired. If something secret ended up in anything Lucy Lawless performed it came from common legends and stories from around the world. Nothing was said to them by anyone I knew.
There is no intention of creating a connection between Zxxxx and the actress that plays Xena they are two different public figures and actresses. You should keep them separate in your mind. Zxxxx is a person with that name that pre-dates the TV Shows.
From the street people:
Leave Zxxxx with a Z alone and write what you learned at home and leave the church meetings out of it unless they were the big meetings.
Got the message:
Here is your answer: Please look it up yourself in one of a number of encyclopedias.

The Encyclopedia of Modern Witchcraft and Neo-Paganism 2002 Publication
Whether you’re looking for information on blessings, the Green Man, divination, ritual components, or spellwork, you can find it all in the Encyclopedia of Modern Witchcraft and Neo-Paganism. Here is the ultimate source of information on all things Wiccan and Neo-Pagan, an indispensable tool for…
If I may have your pardon for the interruption of the regular audience of the Official Magic and Witchcraft Newsfrom LA. I would like to say thank you for reading and considering this personal perspective from my life. Yes some of us wore a Black Sash to protect constitutional rights halfway around the world and to bear silent witness in Los Angeles.
Please don’t ever forget that “Pagans, Witches and Women” have real community and political power today. It has taken over 50 years, a whole lifetime to do it.
Thank You For Your Support
One of your editors as a child.
The mothers decided to have the boys wear the sashes in a cultural day event. People usually ask where the international connection in Arcadia California comes from and it comes directly from the international companies in the Los Angeles area. Very large multinational companies often socially network between offices, especially if they have a official directory and a wives and family network. Executives travel from office to office and they talk about social issues together.Heaven forbid they do not understand each other’s religions and think the other office is full of evil people.
Executives families usually will take care of each other’s families BUT it’s done through the wives and family members AND usually kept out of the office. AA&Co. and now Accenture had and still have offices in Africa and all over the world. Another example is Wakenhut G4s with its worldwide security network. These kinds of companies can and often do form their own social support networks and the whole thing is called Level 2 diplomacy by the United Nations WHEN it interacts with other companies and governments. It’s a very real thing every day.
We are the same kinds of people today and the momentum can be huge. Exploring and communicating multi-cultural common beliefs is a very important part of maintaining a cohesive international working environment.
Imagine the immense effort to stand a silent vigil 24/7 for years, only holding placards with your message. Imagine having to face these women who would not look you in the eyes day after day because of the shame of what you did to the constitution. Remember these women are also doing this for the people that died because of what their government did.
Sometimes pictures speak a million words. It’s not Halloween paint on my face — some of my “friends from those days” are not really my friends. At the time Arcadia was almost all white and almost all Christian. Some of us paid a heavy personal price.
People started saying I was their son so nobody would ever figure out who I really was. I “had my own church” because you can’t do that to “Little Pagans and Witches“. So we started believing in Magick and Spirituality, Witches and Wizards.
People said we were just protecting our reputations. We were physically protecting ourselves — other people (Christians) were protecting their families reputations after they were caught slamming my head into brick walls at elementary school.
The problem is they arestill alive today. It’s a common issue with abused or battered people later on in life. The people that did it will come back around again, they will pretend to be a friend when in reality they hurt you a long, long time ago.
This was also a problem in the townships in South Africa with the same people coming back over and over again. Protecting your rights is a never ending process of taking care of yourself first so you can help others to take care of themselves. I like their new community advice center focus.
Thanks Black Sash members for caring and reminding me to put the pictures on the web. Thanks for also reminding me that the erosion of Human Rights also means Constitutional Rights and Women and Children’s Rights. Whatever the color of your skin.

Notes:
(1) Wikipedia Extract and Link: The Black Sash was founded on 19 May 1955 by six middle-class women, Jean Sinclair, Ruth Foley, Elizabeth McLaren, Tertia Pybus, Jean Bosazza and Helen Newton-Thompson. The organisation was founded as the Women’s Defence of the Constitution League but was eventually shortened by the press as the Black Sash due to the women’s habit of wearing black sashes at their protest meetings. These black sashes symbolised the mourning for the South Africa Constitution. The founding members gathered for tea in Johannesburg before they decided to organise a movement against the Senate Act. They succeeded to hold a vigil of 2,000 women who marched from Joubert Park to the Johannesburg City Hall.
