Boy, do you have some facts twisted on this one. First, it isn't twelve, its
thirteern - twelve coveners and one high priest/high priestess, although
that is hardly a rule - or even a concrete guideline. And, Witches don't
even believe in the devil - that is a Christian concept. Before you go
off spouting facts about Witches, why don't you study books written BY
Witches, or better yet, ask a real Witch what she/he believes.
