Romanian Witches Curse the Tax Man -- Literally
By not in system - AOL NewsMOGOSOIA, Romania -- Everyone curses the tax man, but Romanian witches angry about having to pay up for the first time are planning to use cat excrement and dead dogs to cast spells on the president and government. Also among Romania's newest taxpayers are fortune tellers -- but they probably should have seen it coming. Superstitions are no laughing matter in Romania -- the land of the medieval ruler who inspired the "Dracula" tale -- and have been part of its culture for centuries. President Traian Basescu and his aides have been known to wear purple on certain days, supposedly to ward off ...

Christine O'Donnell Stirs Interest in Witchcraft
By Carl Franzen - AOL News
(Sept. 21) -- Once a witch always a witch? Not so, according to Christine O'Donnell, the newly elected Delaware GOP senatorial candidate, whose surprise tea party victory last week earned her enormous financial support, a devoted national following and intense media scrutiny. Much has been made of her sensational 1999 comment as a guest on Bill Maher's "Politically Incorrect," in which she said that she "dabbled into witchcraft" as a teenager but "never joined a coven," but did enjoy a "midnight picnic on a satanic altar" on a date. O'Donnell, who now is a staunch social conservative and a ...
Child Witchcraft Allegations on Rise in Africa, UN Says
By Terence Neilan - AOL News(July 19) -- A growing number of children in parts of Africa are being singled out each year as being possessed by witchcraft, resulting in their being beaten, tortured and even killed, a U.N. study reports. Until 10 to 20 years ago, women and the elderly were considered the ones most at risk of being identified as witches. But now thousands of children ages 8 to 14 -- most of them boys -- are being accused, with the majority of them orphans, abandoned street kids, albinos and the disabled, including those suffering from autism and Down syndrome.

Witches Prediction '08
By Justin Paulette - Politics DailyThe New York Center for the Strange (I'm not making this up) has conducted a poll of 355 "statistically representative" witches (really, I'm not making this up) to determine their opinion of the election line up in November '08. The results: Hillary Clinton and Wesley Clark vs. Rudy Giuliani and Mike Huckabee. The witches agreed to predict the winner of the election as soon as they could procure an eye of newt for a spell to summon Nostradamus for counsel. (OK, I made that up.) While the witches claim no prophetic augury of the future, it should be noted that they were correct in the last ...
