The number of modern witches and satanists living in Preston, South Ribble and Chorley is on the rise according to the latest census figures.
As Halloween looms, a look at the most recent census figures shows there are a surprising number of folks who identify as witches, pagans, and even Satanists across England and Wales. How many witches are there? In Preston, 41 people selected Wicca as their religion in Census 2021 , in South Ribble, 17 people selected Wicca as their religion and in Chorley, 27 people selected Wicca . This means across the areas, there were 23 more witches in 2021 compared to the decade before.
How many people are Satanists? While the witch population has not soared nationally, Satanism has more than doubled in the past decade as nearly 5,100 people identified as Satanists in the recent census compared to 1,900 in 2011. In Preston, 20 people said they were Satanists, 20 in South Ribble and 11 in Chorley. Despite the name, not all Satanists believe in a literal Lucifer. Instead, it is often a metaphor for questioning authority and rejecting mainstream religion.
