German Witchcraft

A South-African paper has a profile of the Witchcraft movement in Germany. Here was my favorite section:

“In some cases this has led on to a belief in the natural powers of the forests. The women are convinced they can work magic. “The witches’ scene is experiencing a powerful revival,” says Lutheran theologian Hansjoerg Hemminger. He says the covens range from “girlie witches” to the so-called “Wicca” covens. Wicca is an old Anglo-Saxon term for a group of witches. Christian theologians are inclined to see the latter as a manifestation of a new heathen movement.” – Walther Rosenberger

Girlie Witches? Do they wear extra-pink or something? Is there a Girlie Witch/Wicca Coven rivalry?

    No, they have pink toenails.

    But I think the article is talking about fluffbunnies more than anything, although they don’t make a distinction.
