Hi Caroline
That's interesting; still, I bet they don't charge 600 pounds for a weekend!
I think it is because there are so few genuine Wiccan covens in Australia.
(And even fewer in New Zealand, apparently.) There is a problem here in
the UK also, as there are many more people wanting to get into covens than
there are covens to accommodate them.
