Blake said the fuss is all about religion. A neighbor said it's about land use and the law.
The neighbors say they moved into the wooded hills along dusty Reed Road to get away from crowds, and they worry that the newcomers will open a de facto festival park and campground that will flood the area with traffic, noise and nudity. The newcomers _ New Port Richey practicing pagans Jim Blake and Dottye Anderson _ want to open a pagan retreat dubbed Dragon Star Grove and invite fellow worshipers of the earth and nature, gods and goddesses.

NEIGHBORS VS. EARTH WORSHIPERS // Work on pagan retreat blocked
The county gets involved after neighbors complain that pagans are developing a retreat on 31 acres north of Lake Iola.
The newcomers are pagans, and the neighbors are anxious.
In a feud brewing over 31 acres of rural land north of Lake Iola, both sides say they are after the same thing: peace and quiet. But both are determined to fight for their cause.
The newcomers _ New Port Richey practicing pagans Jim Blake and Dottye Anderson _ want to open a pagan retreat dubbed Dragon Star Grove and invite fellow worshipers of the earth and nature, gods and goddesses.
The neighbors say they moved into the wooded hills along dusty Reed Road to get away from crowds, and they worry that the newcomers will open a de facto festival park and campground that will flood the area with traffic, noise and nudity.
Blake said the fuss is all about religion. A neighbor said it's about land use and the law.
"They're scared. The neighbors are frightened of us," Blake said. "We're normal people; we just have a different religion than they do."
The couple said they want to build their dream home, grow their own food and herbs and create permanent prayer gardens on the property.
Blake said he was questioned by one neighbor who asked if the neighborhood dogs and cats would be safe from pagan ceremonies. The question struck him as funny, he said, because pagan worship does not involve sacrifice.
But neighbor Jim Pavek said religion is not his concern. Traffic is.
"It's an issue of zoning, not about religion," he said. "This country was founded on freedom of religion. I don't have a problem with that. But if I wanted to put a KOA campground in there, I couldn't do it."
If Blake wanted to put a Christian retreat center in the same spot, Pavek said he would fight that, too.
Pavek said he and others became concerned about the use of the 31-acre parcel after seeing the couple's Internet site, http://dragonstargrove.bizland.com. The site, they said, indicated campers were welcome and would pay to stay at the retreat.
Blake said the site has since changed, and while guests who happen to camp _ with tents only, no recreational vehicles _ could make a donation, no fee would be charged.
True, he said, there may be some nudity. Some in the circle enjoy being nude outside, but that would be shielded deep within the property where no one off the property would see it.
"It's a business," Pavek said. "That's not what we want in our neighborhood."
"Every time they have a festival, am I going to look out my kitchen window and see cars driving by all day?" asked another neighbor, Janie Bair. "This is supposed to be a quiet neighborhood. That's why we live here."
Blake said he and Anderson, his fiancee, are misunderstood. He said he would have gladly discussed his plans face-to-face if anyone had asked him. Instead, he said, he has received e-mails warning him that there is a movement afoot to keep him off the land.
"One of the concerns that they had is we were trying to turn it into a resort and have hundreds of people come in," Blake said. "That's not what we want. Frankly, that's too much work. We would average 40 to 50 people, probably eight times a year."
The two say they are serious about their religion. Blake is a pagan, while Anderson is a Wiccan _ within the pagan circle of religions _ who has written two books on the subject. While some Wiccans refer to themselves as witches, Anderson said she prefers Wiccan because the term witch has taken on negative connotations.
Now the issue has reached county government. Pasco County Code Enforcement Officer Mike Nastasuk said the county issued a stop-work order because workers cleared trees without a permit.
Blake said he thought all permits were secured, but said he would look into it.
On Thursday, a well driller was at work on the site.
County Commissioner Ted Schrader said he is also keeping an eye on the property, after neighbors contacted him.
"If it's a business, that's not allowed there," he said. "It doesn't have anything to do with religion."
Pavek said he and others will force the issue and will continue to complain until the zoning is addressed.
"Let's get this out in the open. Let's have a hearing. Let's talk about what it really is," Pavek said. "The county commissioners will have to make a decision on this."
"If they had concerns, they could have come to us," Anderson said. "I just think the whole thing is really getting out of hand."

Reviews for "Greeley's Witchy Nails: Trendy Designs for the Modern Witch"
- Samantha - 1 star - I had a terrible experience at Witchy Nails Greeley. The staff was rude and unprofessional, and the quality of their work was subpar. I asked for a simple manicure and they completely messed up my nails. The polish was uneven and chipped within a day. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for a good nail salon.
- Emily - 2 stars - I was disappointed with my visit to Witchy Nails Greeley. The salon was dirty and seemed unorganized. The nail technician rushed through my manicure and did not pay attention to detail. The polish job was streaky and the nails were not filed properly. I left feeling like I wasted my money and will not be going back.
- Jessica - 1 star - Witchy Nails Greeley was a complete disappointment. I made an appointment for a gel manicure and they made me wait for 30 minutes past my scheduled time. The nail technician was unfriendly and did not listen to my preferences. The gel polish started peeling off within a week, which is unacceptable. I will not be returning to this salon.
