According to a report by Reuters news service, a place called Wookey Hole in England is looking for a witch, and the pay is $80,000.
“Somerset tourist attraction Wookey Hole caves is advertising for a ‘witch’ and has already received 100 applicants since the beginning of the week. Legend has it that the caves, near Wells, were home to the Wookey Witch who was turned to stone by the medieval Abbott of Glastonbury to rid villagers of her curse. The vacancy has arisen because the previous incumbent has retired.”
Whoever gets the job will get to live in a “spacious” cave, will need to know how to cackle, can’t be allergic to cats and needs to know some magic tricks. They also stress that they are not looking for a “scary” witch, because Wookey Hole is a family attraction and they don’t want to frighten the kiddos.
Here is the interesting part to me: ” In keeping with modern times, the role is open to men, women and trans-gender witches to comply with sexual discrimination laws.”
I didn’t say anything about the job being open butch lesbians like me, but I guess I don’t care. I mean, who wants to move to England and tell people back home in Texas you live in a Wookey Hole?!
Are you all even aware of the city council meeting tonight? I don’t understand how this blog went from a helpful way to release important civil-righs-movement information into a wacky pop-news blog that has nothing to do with anything overnight.
Has it always been this way? I am a recent subscriber so maybe I just set my expectations too high for this blog after reading all of the excellent coverage on the Rainbow Lounge.
I love stories like this. There’s gotta be balance in life, even with gay issues dominating our time and efforts these days. Give me news, entertainment and info that I can use.
Besides, I’d be the perfect witch or bitch, if you will. hahaha
@ Noah:
Instant Tea is not a blog JUST for serious news. Posting the bit about the Wookey Hole witch did not keep me from posting any important info on the City Council meeting or Dallas Eagle or anything else.
We have posted TONS of stuff about the situation at Rainbow Lounge, about the protests and about the City Council meeting.
Thanks
Hel-LO, Noah!
The headline is AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
Not “And Now For Something Completely Different But We’re Going To Stay With The Same Story Cause We Just Said This Misleading Headline To Have You Click On It Anyway But Give You The Same News.”
