Witchcraft training gets tax break
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands (Reuters) — Dutch tax authorities have allowed a woman to deduct the ˆ2,210 ($2,655) it cost her to take a one-year course in witchcraft, an inland revenue official said on Wednesday.
The 39-year actress and artist learnt how to use crystal balls and prepare herbs, and also spells and other witchcraft skills at the course held in the country’s northwest.
“The woman used the training in order to start … giving workshops, so she used it to extend her professional knowledge,” the tax official told Reuters.
Margarita Roland, who gave the course, said she teaches apprentices all they need to know to become a witch, using magic as a force for good.
“A witch is a wise woman or man who knows about the magic of life in general and the magic of the earth in particular,” said Roland, known as the “witch of Appelscha” after her home town.
