“We Are Satisfied” Say Witches
[Photograph] Mrs Bone and Mr Bracegirdle.
Two English witches who flew to the Island this week to claim an ancient ritual sword and other items at the Witches Mill state that they are quite satisfied with the result of their interview with the executors of the late Dr. Gerald Gardner.
Mrs Ray Bone and Mr Jack Bracelin of the London Coven of Witches flew back to London on Wednesday evening. Their journey was uneventful, in contrast with their flight to the Island when their plane returned to Liverpool after circling Ronaldsway Airport on Tuesday.
They have given an assurance to Mr William Worrall, who has a life interest in the museum, that they will not remove anything from the exhibition.
They told him that they were happy that the museum was in his hands and they were sure that the Midland and Southern witches would be glad to give him help and advice any time he required it.
