Here I was thinking I wished the article was less openly derogitory.

Excessive use of the phrase "claims to be..." and comments like, "what he [i]calls[/] his altar" and comparisons with the more fantastical elements of the Harry Potter series seem designed to encourage the reader to veiw the couple as crackpots, regardless of "claims" to the contrary.

Also, the author's refusal to capitalize "Witch" (as they would have capitlaized "Christian", "Jew", "Muslim", or "Buddhist") shows that Mr. Lister (the author) does not view it as a legitimate religion.

And it is not the first time a school has been established for the study of Witchcraft. There have been a number here in the States. (I believe the Frosts had one for a time, among others.) I find it really surprising that there has never been one in Europe.

I say whatever floats your boat!

As what has become tradition in the real world, hereditary witches always train the children in the craft. Many here will raise their children in a Pagan-Wiccan lifestyle.

But oh the joy of having a boarding school to send those little ones to which would not only teach them the three Rs but the craft as well.

Think of the quiet. Think of not having to hear :scream: HE TOUCHED ME!!! If only............. :rolleyes:
