Witches have various reservations about anyone outside their covens, possibly due to the number of times people outside have hung them, burned them, or dunked them until they drowned. For most groups of people, we suspect such behavior would be distinctly alienating.
Even though there are frequent times in history when mankind has amused itself by burning witches, there are still lots of them, they are all over the place, in fact.
You doubt?
Midwives. Witches, all of them. This has been true back to the earliest tribes. These are the ones who carry the Knowledge Only for Women and you know you want them around when you have your baby. The doctor may deliver the baby and, thanks very much, but you want the witches around you to bring your baby to you and help you understand just what the hell happened just now. Yep, they're witches.
Likely most witches are nurses as what better cover ... and what harder job.
There are witches trying to practice black magic and draw Queen Mab from the dead but this is a lot like the modern-day GOP trying to find something they can seriously call a candidate. So we don't care about what black witches are doing.
White witches know a great many things as midwifery is only one part of the Ancient Knowledge.
The good Reverend Silas T Sasquatch will tell you as much as any man can know of the Ancient Knowledge (i.e. not a whole hell of a lot) so then came the epiphany: Dial a Witch.
(Ed: so the vision is the Undead Vampire Preacher doing a call-in interview with the White Witch?)
It's ticklin' me cockles, matey. What else can I do.
(Ed: why?)
Because the Ancient Knowledge is not some trivial whoop-de-do about how to make broomsticks fly. Even if they really can do that they won't tell me about it. They know a tremendous amount about living things and the endless variety of living things. Most importantly, they know well what is needed to take care of them.
(Ed: this sounds funny like reading a cookbook)
Well, that's the trick, isn't. Finding a witch is one thing but finding a funny one is what we need. I need one who won't beat me over the head if I ask her if she really can make a flying broomstick. They take their work seriously and they should but maybe too seriously as asking about the broomstick may be taken to disregard the importance of all their work. That's not true, I just think it would be really cool to fly around on a broomstick.
Even if Witchy Woman is funny and she's enjoying the banter, she still won't tell me if they can really do it. Men aren't allowed to know.
They say men will have equality with women but how can I believe this when they will not tell me how to make a flying broomstick. It's a question I must ask of Witchy Woman. I need to know.
