It's surprising just how long this belief lasted. In 1891, Canon J. C. Atkinson of Danby (North Yorks.) published his 'Forty Years in a Moorland Parish'. He told of an old woman, Dinah, who once called him to her house to 'lay' spirits that were bothering her. When he explained that he didn't profess to 'lay' spirits, she replied :

"Aye, but if I'd sent for a priest of t'auld choch he wad a' deean it. They were a vast mair powerful conjurers than you choch-priests."

The idea of priests being magicians was still around 150 years ago!

Whooooooa! a new-age magician - Kenwyne Jones just scored!!!!!
