I found an article from Lawnlove.com that made my heart happy! 300 years ago, you could be executed for being assumed to be a witch and today, we have a ranking of the best places in the US to be a witch. The best part? I live an hour away from #9 and 4 hours away from #3! Turns out, I live in #13! Ironically, Texas is very open to the Pagan religion despite its heavy Republican influence. This is just my experience mind you, it likely depends on what city you are in. Because just like 2 of the top 10 best are in Texas, the #1 worst is also in Texas. Lawnlove included a pretty cool image with some best and worsts as well!

To check out the full list, read the full article. They even include the criteria for which they grade each city on: Overall Score, Covens Rank, Health Rank, Spirituality Rank, and Supplies Rank and where they rank on each of those items. The full article had a ton more information than what I included here. There was no way I could include it all without straight copying the entire page but they did a great job in compiling everything together! I just wanted to summarize a it to show that we, as a religion, are making leaps and bounds of progress despite how we have been portrayed for millennia.
