Police who like to indulge in a spot of witchcraft have been given the right to take off Halloween and the summer solstice as religious holidays.
Members of the new Pagan Police Association will have guaranteed holiday on the faith's eight festival days. PC Andy Pardy who set up the association said "Paganism is not the new age, tree hugging fad that some people think it is. It is not the clandestine, horrible, evil thing that people think it is. A lot of people think it is about dancing naked around a fire but the rituals are not like that."
It's not known how many Pagan police officers and staff there are in the UK, which is lucky as some enterprising crims might use these holidays as an excuse to commit some crimes, while the police are having their "witchcraft holidays".
