Bad vibes in Glastonbury after Catholics against pagans

"BY THE light of the full moon, witches in Glastonbury will tonight be casting a “circle of protection” around Britain’s centre of mysticism after a group of militant Christians cast salt at them in an attempt to “cleanse” the town of paganism.

One Roman Catholic was fined and two cautioned by police after the “alternative Hallowe’en” festival in Britain’s centre of magical mysticism turned into a spiritual battle between Christianity and paganism.

Now even the local Catholic priest has told his fellow Christians that they are not welcome in the town. "

Glastonbury pagans attacked by Catholic youths

"Pagans living in Glastonbury have been attacked and abused by a group of young Catholic pilgrims who threatened to "cleanse" them from the town, it was claimed today.

Trouble flared during a procession organised by Youth 2000, when local pagans were pelted with salt and branded witches in the historic Somerset town.

Much of the dissent focused on the pagan shop Magick Box, which was on the route of the march."

Catholic marchers turn on Glastonbury pagans

"In scenes reminiscent of medieval witchhunts, Catholic pilgrims in Glastonbury have attacked pagans and threatened to "cleanse" them from the town.

Local pagans were pelted with salt and branded witches who "would burn in hell" during a procession organised by Youth 2000, a conservative Catholic lay group. The Magick Box, a pagan shop on the route of the march, was also singled out and attacked.

Maya Pinder, the owner of the shop, said: "We've had to hear comments such as 'burn the witches', we've had salt thrown in our faces and at our shop, people were openly saying they were 'cleansing Glastonbury of paganism'."
