Warlock of Westborough – Part II

Westborough – "In a little black cottage out of "Hansel and Gretel" on Bowman Street near a quiet reservoir and many pine trees lives 41-year-old Ted Rabouin, high priest of New England witchcraft. He publicly announced himself 10 years ago in order to dispel the countless myths about witches throughout history." (Beaver County Times, Jan.13, 1975) Ted Raboiun, the Warlock of Westborough and former high priest of the Church of Wicca, gained fame on a 1970s episode of "Bewitched" when the sitcom witch, Samantha Stephens, visited Salem for a series of episodes. Rabouin appeared alongside Laurie Cabot, an American Witchcraft high priestess and the "unofficial" witch of Salem. At one point during filming Cabot said, "Ah yes, Teddy, my favorite Warlock!" bringing him instant fame.
