Witches banned from church hall

A witches' coven is claiming religious persecution after they were banned from using a social centre for a Halloween gathering.



The Crystal Cauldron group had booked Our Lady's Social Club in Stockport for the group's annual Witches Ball, reports the Daily Telegraph.

But when high priestess Sandra Davis went to pay for the booking she was told it had been blocked by the the Roman Catholic church.

Mrs Davis, 61, had hoped to attract up to 150 people to the social evening offering a buffet dinner and music from an Abba tribute band.

But she was told by the manager that the Diocese of Shrewsbury, which owns the centre, had refused permission for the group to use it.

"It makes you think that there is still a little bit of that attitude from the past of the Catholics wanting to burn witches," she said.

"I thought we had made progress, that we could accept other people's religious paths."

Mrs Davis, who has 11 grandchildren, gave up her former job in a forklift truck company to set up the Crystal Cauldron, where she is known as Amethyst Selmeselene.

The Reverend John Joyce, a spokesman for the Roman Catholic diocese of Shrewsbury, which owns the centre, said that it was out of the question for a pagan group to use its facilities.

"Parish centres under our auspices let their premises on the understanding users and their organisations are compatible with the ethos and teachings of the Catholic church," he said.

Well, I think they've done the right thing. Not that I'm a churchgoer, but I wouldn't expect any diverse beliefs to actually want to use a Christian Church Hall in the first place.

What do you think?

I'm with you on this tonker, but then again I don't have to make the decision. I can't see what the connection with ABBA is tho! I always like Abba songs. Am I a witch?

dancing naked round me cauldron is something I usually do in the privacy of me own back garden

That's terrible news. Get The witches warlock to report them to the court of human rights. He could get some pictures of one of their do,s and send it to post an Chronicle.

There's certain aspects of Witchcraft that appeal...

Then should ban the homosexuals too!

And the cat's name?

This sounds "familiar".

Go on mester, have a google.

Don't know, Dostaf, but is She the cat's mother?

By the way - Witch cat would that be?

Edmund Blackadder's cat. The WSP had him on trial.

It's a trap (of sorts).

a putty cat?

They're a pane, and smashing, too, Danni.

Bubbles????

No.

It was Bubbles.

But the Witchsmeller claimed that 'Bubbles' was actually short for BEELZEBUBBLES

Proof indeed that the Blackadder was a witch.

How the devil did Blackadder get out of that?

Ah well, that's me done with google.

Turned out that his mum was the witch. As he was about to burn, the fire receded and the WSP went up with a puff.

I wonder why Google found Bubbles with ???? after it, Xrh?

Love that song.

Modern day perverts!

back to tonks post.
again the church demonstrates just how mixed up it is.
i ask the question of why there are so many gargoyles built into church buildings???lincoln cathedral goes one better, they have on sat in the prime position of where all the sermons take place??
legend has it, that this was a practice to placate the evil entities who just might do the church harm, if they(gargoyles) werent remembered when the church was under construction,they would do great harm to its good souls.

A gargoyle is a spout which carries water away from a roof.
The big question is: 'what are the 'things' who's faces are carved onto the gargoyles'?

according to the church, the evil satanic hords that mingle amongst us??to placate them so they wouldnt feel left out, they were given a place of choice on/or in churches.
time fer mi coffee now.
ps....mind how ye goo now.

I think the figures were intended to remind you of the consequences of sin,Tonker.Apparently you never see two the same and the stonemasons liked to do better than their rivals.

Nope, I give up. Been doing a lot of googling since June 2009, to no avail.

Do tell us, Tonker.

I would have thought Grotesques.....knows the answer.

Who cares!

HAPPY THURSDAY!

HURRAH!

Romp along with gay abandon.

Give me five minutes to get ready

Come as you are.

Will there be lashings and lashings of ginger beer?

Did they ever say that?

Not in the Blyton books, but on the telly they did.

(Psssst, someone did)

Away with your 'pssst'.

I'm familiar with that naughty lot.

Mester Joseph has it right.

Blah, blah, blah auspices......

One for the book is that one.

Wasn't that chap off Cross Roads in one of those as a very naughty uncle or something?

Oooh yes. The smooth bugg
ger.

He was the villain all along.

Was it Five Go Mad on Mesculin? (Sp)

Tom peepery is it....Yes, Ron Allen

I did of course mean Crossroads.

Look at the state of Tonker's lovely thread.

That's him, Ron Allen.

Was he banned from a church hall?

"Allen also made a number of guest appearances in The Comic Strip Presents. In the first episode, Five Go Mad in Dorset (1982), which spoofed Enid Blyton's The Famous Five stories, he makes a surprise appearance as Uncle Quentin; deliberately sending up his staid image, he most memorably told The Famous Five, "Your Aunt Fanny is an unrelenting nymphomaniac – and I am a screaming homosexual". (The show's TV Times entry had listed him as "Surprise Guest"). Allen reprised the role in the sequel Five Go Mad on Mescalin (1983)"

He was a screaming homosexual too.

Joseph 1 said, "Blah, blah, blah auspices......"


Q: "What's an auspice"?

A: "Gallons"!

You could hear him from here!¬

Somebody tell him.

Edit

Here

I said "We have a problem"

She said "Which is?"

I said "I don't believe in witches"










I'll get me coat!

it takes the cake when the church can choose to bar a new born baby to be christened because the baby is from a travelling family????didn't Christ say "suffer little children to come unto me"? the closer you look at the church, and the more obvious it becomes as to why the church is in decline.

Can't sleep Billy?

how"d ya guess jouell???

With regard to Tonkers statement at the top of this thread about his objections to a Christian Hall being used by an alternativce religion - I have 3 observations to make. 1- A host of Pagan festival dates were hijacked by Christianity - Christmas is one I believe. 2- Look around you at how many churches are closing becaause of lack of attendance and are now being converted into mosques etc etc. 3- Maybe you should go to church yourself and that would give more weight to what you say regarding the Church.

Note date on first post.

Dormant thread resurrected in connection with gargoyles.

Who did it

Warlocks.

like the red indian said to the Christian converter,, yo speak to your god once a week, the indian speak and listen to god all day every day....he speaks through the running streams and rivers, he speaks from the highest peaks, our god is all around us.he never leaves.
