witchcraft, crazy witchcraft

I used to think I was weird because I wanted to be a witch when I was thirteen. Recently, people have told me that no, most girls go through this phase at some point in their adolescence. (I could ramble about the psychology behind this, but I think that it should be pretty obvious if you are a girl or know girls or have read books about them.)
Do all girls think this makes them weird? Why isn't this some sort of girly bonding thing?

"Hey, Heather, were you into witchcraft too when you were, like, in middle school?"
"Oh my gawd, I totally was! I went around, like, blighting crops and cursing cows to not give milk!"
"I put the pox on people! Oh, man, we were such dorks!"

Don't Knock It ...

Guys go through that phase, too. Only, they tend to end up growing into big, middle aged balding men in funny aprons standing in big stone temples with chequerboard tiled floors with one leg of their their trousers rolled up, and calling the Chirf Superintendent "Master".

That sounds sort of fun. Do they get to whack blindfolded pledges with paddles?

Oh, I suspect most of them get their sadistic jollies out of arresting people ... :)
