Romania to introduce legislation to regulate witches

Romania's Parliament is to discuss a witchcraft law to regulate the thousands of witches practising in the country.

Romanian MP Madalin Voicu says a new law reigning in some of the more questionable practices is logical.

Romania introduced taxes on witches' earnings earlier in the year.

Mr Voicu said: "They have a profession like everyone else, and we have to make sure that they are subject to the same rules and regulations as everyone else."

He added that would include the setting up of a witchcraft school, the "Romanian National Witches College" to ensure professional standards are maintained.

Mr Voicu says politicians will also be given a special department to give them advice on witchcraft matters.

The country's finance minister suffered a broken leg the day after introducing the tax on witches and several leading figures in witching circles tried to claim the credit for his misfortune as a punishment for the tax.

Mr Voicu says the new department will protect against such misfortunes.

He added: "There will be professional witches in the department to offer support to the politicians in improving their political activities."

I am a missionary to Romania. The orthodox churches there are dead spiritually. They were even pro Ceaucescu government during the revolution in the 90's. There are some good Word churches there and I am sure they will be praying.

Rosie O'Donnell would not fit into Romania! After all, it is not a large country.
