Witch Watch: Witches traditionalists on male-female roles

Redford Observer, September 15, 1977

Gundella surely would have been cancelled over this Witch Watch column dealing with feminism and the gay movement. While she was personally laissez-faire about gay relationships and feminism she was adamant in saying that "witchcraft as a whole puts great emphasis on the traditional male and female roles." 

Further damning her would be the statements, "most witches would agree that some feminists have carried things a bit too far." as well as, "Witchcraft in general does not look upon a homosexual as being well-adjusted or in tune with the universe. I feel quite safe in stating that if there is a gay coven in Detroit, it is not a traditional witchcraft coven. It is more likely associated with a satanic group or is just a sex-and-magic club which its members made up and decided to call a coven."

While these were her learned opinions - and I might add based upon her decades of studying witchcraft - they go against the grain of the orthodoxy of current political correctness and she would be banished to the margins of society further than witches were in her heyday. 

By the by, warlocks were not male witches though male and female witches alike practice the art of magic and thus could be considered warlocks or even wizards if loosely described. A witch, no matter their sex, is simply called a witch.
