Male member not welcome with Dianic group
A Dianic pagan group in Wiltshire coule be in legal hot-water after they expelled a new member upon discovering he was a man.
The group operates a strict Women Only rule in line with the majority of Dianic covens and accepted applicant, Bob Jenkinson, on the misconception that He was in fact a She.
“They were quite happy to teach me via post, the tinternet and by phone” Bob told The Burning Times, “but when I turned up for a meeting they went crazy and wouldn’t let me in unless they had first ‘cut off my boy bits’, although I wanted to join the coven I wasn’t prepared to do that”.
When asked for a statement a spokes-woman for the coven said he (Bob) has a “very girly voice on the phone” and it was a mistake anyone could have made. She was very sorry for any inconvenience to Mr. Jenkinson but stated that male members were not welcome in their coven.
Bob intends to go to the European court of human rights with claims of gender discrimination.
