Lonely Hearts Religion
According to Australian Witch Caroline Tully modern Paganism is the way for guys looking to hook up with the ladies!
“Leading witch Caroline Tully says witchcraft is a religion for the weak and oppressed, especially women. ‘Actually, I’m surprised the guys haven’t taken advantage because there are so many single women. There aren’t many men, and a lot of them aren’t particularly appealing.’”
So not only are there plenty of women, the men already there pose no competition! I’m sure this will bring in all sorts of new “converts”. So come on guys! A whole hoard of weak and oppressed women await you!

Hi there, just to fill you in on my insulting-looking newspaper article from
last Sunday…
There was so much stuff that was paraphrased, or totally peripheral to what
the journalist and I were talking about. I’m really cross about the “weak
and opressed” angle, because that came from a little side comment I made
about magic, (not the religion of witchcraft) but magic, being a technology
often resorted to by the powerless, which I felt that I illustrated quite
well with an example of Islamic women using magic as domestic power (the
topic of a lecture I recently attended) – obviously that was simply a dumb
thing for me to have said at all, seeing what became of that comment. Also,
a friend of mine said that it looked like Witches were a pile of women out
for sex, which is also plain embarassing as I’m not single or desparate – if
I was, I certainly wouldn’t be confiding in some reporter! – and I don’t
think a lot of Australian Pagan women become Witches to “score” a
boyfriend – although there are many more women to men. When I am asked by a
journalist to talk about my favourite subject, I do my best never to talk
utter crap. I enjoy the challenge of being cautious, factual and
informative. I try and hard as poss not to say anything incriminating,
especially something which would reflect on other people.
I can understand a terrible rag of a paper hacking up an
interview with a Pagan… but I’m really surprised when an allegedly
‘high-brow’ newspaper (which The Age newspaper in Australia thinks itself to
be) comes up with the most immature, badly written piece of junk.
The journalist who wrote the piece apologised on the afternoon of the paper’s release for what he said was a very heavily edited and cobbled together conglomeration of two separate articles.
