The Coven and the Congregation

a postcard story about a coven, a congregation, and a negotiation over the virgin supply

For years, the coven held ritual orgies and cast spells with virgin’s blood on the hill outside town.

Then the local parish started teaching sex positivity to cut off the virgin supply.

The coven was furious. In response, they preached abstinence, becoming self-sustaining.

“Degenerates!” the witches would tisk-tisk, looking down at the copulating congregation.

“Prudes!” the parishioners would shout back, eyes rolled up to heaven.
