As I have been accused of racism on another thread I would like to make it clear that I am not and have never been a racist.

There is no need for anyone to reply to this post. I simply want to put it on record that the accusation is base and false.

May I ask if I am not included because either I live in Wales or I am Welsh?

If the latter then I am a victim of racism - sob

This thread is a psychologists wet dream. grin

If we can play on Pendle Hill then you can play in Mother Shipton's Cave grin

As there are witches sites throughout the UK we'll all have the play the you can play with my toys if I can play with your's grin

I love Wales Anniebach and can see no reason why the whole of the UK should not be included.

Those poor Scottish witches have been held up as an example of the third stage of a women's life, the oft quoted "Maiden, Mother, and Crone". We, in our covens all over the UK, must band together to show that the latter stages of life are now about cronies not crones. We must fight them on the ... sorry got carried away there.

Where are you Yorkshire coven - people need answers, they need to feel wanted, included. They need you!

I wrote this before Vampire reply - to good to waste; I was on a roll.

Vampire's and too

Anniebach Tue 07-Jul-15 10:19:04

And what a roll Gracesgran, go girl .

I suppose as a fully paid up Yorkshirewoman, I had better throw my witches hat in the ring! But I want a broomstick in racing green with go faster stripes and space for a fishing rod!

Greyduster Tue 07-Jul-15 10:53:24

Or to paraphrase my gransdon's favourite book when he was small, "is there room on the broom for a witch like me?"

Gracesgran Tue 07-Jul-15 11:30:34

Umm Go Faster Stripes; I think you should take care as they might actually work. I don't think you would get caught for speeding but you might for wobbling on the flyway.

(I must stop and do some real life stuff. By the way POGS where's that psychologist?)

I guess some of us will go for a sporty single seater model whereas others might want a more family friendly version with room for another seat and a couple of child seats (with safety straps).

I'd like a sleek black cat with green eyes as my familiar even though I'm allergic to cats. I'm sure there'll be a spell to help me.

Down here is famous for watches. We even have one in Wookey hole.
About five miles from me is Wild Hunt lane and Herm lane

I came from Wednesbury which is Woden's town.

Galen Tue 07-Jul-15 12:32:51

Witches not watches! Bl***y iPad

rosesarered Tue 07-Jul-15 13:04:42

I know Galen, the iPad. Drives me crazy changing words.angry
Are witches allowed to wear pearls?

Galen Tue 07-Jul-15 13:20:55

An absolute must, my dear!

rosesarered Tue 07-Jul-15 13:25:50

Just the pearls though, nothing else mind you!

vampirequeen Tue 07-Jul-15 14:33:29

Preferably black pearls.

Galen Tue 07-Jul-15 15:09:27

They're dyed. No natural black pearls.

vampirequeen Tue 07-Jul-15 16:16:09

Oh no. I didn't know that. I thought black pearls were a rare mutation of a natural pearl. Just goes to show there are always new things to learn.

White pearls are of course acceptable witch wear.

It's not a coven if everyone's in. The one rule should be that you think you have been falsely accused of racism.
How many is that?

NanKate Tue 07-Jul-15 21:34:22

Pogs have I sussed you out, were you in another guise a few months back? I recognise your humour. grin

vampirequeen Tue 07-Jul-15 22:00:45

Well that's me in then. On my Yorkshire broomstick, drinking Yorkshire tea and eating Yorkshire Pudding and Yorkshire Parkin. grin

rosesarered Tue 07-Jul-15 22:02:15

Carb overload!
Remember what used to happen to witches? be very very careful.

vampirequeen Tue 07-Jul-15 22:08:15

I'll have a spell to put out the flames and untie the ropes. My trusty broomstick will fly me away to freedom and I'll top up my protein with Wensleydale cheese.

durhamjen Tue 07-Jul-15 22:09:42

Proper tea, as we call it. Used to puzzle Americans, though. They did not realise that it wasn't grown in Yorkshire.
