According to local legend, the original Wookey Hole witch was turned to stone centuries ago when a Catholic monk splashed her with holy water. Who knew it was that easy? A large, vaguely witch-shaped stalagmite in one of the area's caves is said to be her petrified remains. Making it the obvious place for a theme park. Eventually, however, the popular attraction needed someone with more personality than the average vaguely-person-shaped rock. Regardless of how impressive that rock might be.
Now, unfortunately, it appears that the current resident witch of Wookey Hole has resigned and a replacement is needed immediately. Making this the opportunity I've been waiting for. Wookey Hole staff say the job is straightforward: live in the cave, be a witch and do the things witches do. Okay. Sounds good so far. The successful applicant will also need to like dark spaces, be good around a cauldron, enjoy the company of cats, have a good cackle, and expect to be busy at Halloween.
So then, let's take a look at my qualifications.
I'm not afraid of the dark . . . most of the time. I've been told I'm a decent cook, so I'm sure I could find my way around a cauldron. And I'm confident that my faithful cat Lucky will provide a glowing reference as to my affinity for his species. I enjoy Halloween creepiness and am accustomed to a busy October. And I'd be more than happy to earn £50,000. Looks like a perfect match so far.
Interviews are being held July 28th. I need to practice my cackle. Now where did I put my Salem witch hat?
