Accused of racism

No, it's my parents' fault. ( thank goodness )

Come one, come all. You can't help being from the south east .

Am I allowed ? Im a southeastener with no pretensions. I love annoying my northern friends but they retaliate. Other nations ? I love most of them.

How many of us are their now? At this rate we'll have to have two covens

I thought we had got to the point of just forming a coven .

I was called a racist by someone I didn't invite to a BBQ, this despite at least 10 of those invited being black or mixed race. I told him the reason I hadn't invited him was nothing to do with his colour but because of his "profession" - he was a pimp!

Someone once suggested that I was being racist - I won't go into the details - but subsequently apologised.

We're forming a coven for people who have falsely been accused of racism

He has apologised. What coven?

I think he is looking for an "ist" that you will call him for his remarks rubylady so that he can join the coven

It's a PC too far.

It's not even worth discussing.

So when England play Australia for the ashes it's racist to want England to win, and when it comes to the World Cup - there's a lot of racists in the world

Welcome to the coven, rubylady.

It's not racist. I suppose, at a push, it could be nationalist but hell it's only two men batting a ball over a bit of netting.

That is just silly overthinking.

I've just been accused of being racist by my DS. I'm watching the men's semi-final of Wimbledon and he said that sport is racist because we support someone from a certain country and don't want someone else to win from another country. Is this racism or far too PC in his thinking?

I still want Andy to win though over Roger.

Oh please let's not make all our rituals decent.

Correction: Wizard would do nicely.

Wizard would nicely.

I thought a warlock was the same as a wizard. In Tam o' Shanter Burns refers to 'Witches and warlocks in a dance...' Are there any warlocks in the Harry Potter series? I know Harry and the lads are wizards. Is Hermione a witch? Perhaps we could have a web chat with JK Rowling! I'm a Scottish witch and I'm sure there must be some interesting herbs growing in the jungle that I call my garden and my familiar has to be a large ginger cat. My broomstick is turbo charged and has tartan cushions.

Perhaps none of us has been accused of racism; sexism, ageism, little Englanderism, xenophobia, nimbyism, - perhaps, probably, almost certainly - but not the one that matters for this coven?

I have always seen myself as a potential warlock rather than a witch, and I'm game for any decent (or are we contemplating the opposite?) ritual.

I don't think any have applied. Maybe they're waiting to find out what rituals we might like to take part in.

I think it means a bad witch - possibly thrown out of his coven. vampirequeen. However, warlocks have never come up in the Merrily Watkins series - my source of knowledge for paganism and witchcraft - so I could be wrong

Have we have any men wanting to join yet?

I thought a warlock was a male witch. Has the word gone out of use or does it mean something else?

What would the men like to wear?
