With a fire and good ventilation a cave may be quite bearable. With a bear to snuggle up to even more. But those tourists trapsing through to ogle at you are the really annoying factor. Wookey Hole is an awful Disneyland-like setup. Well, if they get a real witch, all that could change in a wink. But then they may launch another Christan offense, with holy-water-throwing and into-stone-turning… Better read the small print in the employment contract.
On one pagan web-forum I belong to, this advertisement was posted four separate times. The interest is there.
At 50 grand p.a., and working only the Summer Months, I’d consider it, even though I’m more Druidic than Witchy. The Equal Ops people insist that men are interviewed as well as women.
Taunton Moot may find a few takers. A lady I knew in Somerset would certainly have applied, had she not passed away last year.

I go to AVEBURY stone circle for the WINTER solstice. Don’t see the point in celebrating the dying of the light, although I do mark the occasion. This year our moot went up to Coombe Hill and enjoyed the drumming - a drumming group goes up there for the solstice, and they’re pretty good - and meet some friends with whom I dance, and set off some sky lanterns. And we had a very quick, very casual circle. But it was all good.
