Just asking out of curiosity, but how does that system work? The placement and treatment of male witches, that is. I understand that they are seen as "lesser", but wouldn't the authority over such individuals be placed under that of the elder witches, even if the Coven Mother is somewhat younger than the elders (this is in the hypothetical situation of where the elders of a coven take care of the young and weak, aka children, ill and men)? This doesn't really affect the situation with Bishop (since the only coven in the area is led by a relatively young witch, along with a few "lone wolves"), but I'm asking just for the sake of asking XD
