Witch at Wookey Hole Caves


Jobseekers wait to hear who has been selected for the role of a resident witch at Wookey Hole Caves on July 28, 2009 in Wells, England.

The Somerset tourist attraction is looking for a new witch to teach visitors about witchcraft and magic after its previous employee retired and it will come with a salary of 50,000 GBP pro rata. The job advert, which was advertised earlier this month, states that the successful applicant "must be able to cackle" and "must not be allergic to cats", and has recieved 2,319 applications as well as 23 letters of complaint from church or religious groups.

Legend has it that the caves were home to the Wookey Witch who was turned to stone by Father Bernard who had been appointed by the Abbott of Glastonbury to rid villagers of her curse.
