Cassandra Latham Jones at The Merry Maidens Stone Circle in Cornwall. See SWNS story SWBRwitch. Meet Britain's first official WITCH who was given unique permission to declare the job on her TAX forms - even claiming spells and potions on expenses. Cassandra Latham-Jones, 71, was the first person allowed to use the term 'village witch' when she files her returns with the inland revenue. The self-employed witch can even write off certain expenses as tax deductible - including ingredients for her magical brews. Cassandra has been a witch and official wise-woman for the village of St Buryan in Cornwall for over 30 years. She offers traditional witching services such as tarot card reading, rituals, sea magic, Dark Arts, spells - and wart charming. But Ms Latham-Jones, a trained nurse and qualified counsellor, also carries out other 'witching' duties such as counselling and community services.
