Norwegian witch gets government grant

[Flaherty]

A Norwegian woman setting up shop as a witch has been awarded a government grant worth 53,000 kronor ($7,500; £4,500).

Lena Skarning, aged 33, was given the money because her business plan - according to officials from the regional development fund which gave the grant - was "pretty reasonable and well thought out".

Her business, Forest Witch Magic Consulting, will tell fortunes, teach magic tricks at corporate seminars, and offer potions and creams to cure for problems ranging from sleeplessness to bad habits.

It's about time the Norwegian government got serious about witches in Norway. I thought they would never wake up.

PS: There is already a thread about this if you scroll down a bit on this page.

And what do you know about Norwegian witches that you haven't just looked up in Google?
