I've heard a very strange rule that makes no sense to me. Apparently there is a rule for Jusrists that indicates that a Judge cannot be romanticaly involved with a Witch, and that this rule has been around for a while. Personally I don't believe it, but I thought that since ti might be an old law still on the books there might be a probability. Is this ture, and can someone explain to me why?

I've never heard of such a rule in any jurisdiction. Of course, each state may be different, but I've posted a link to the California Code of Judicial Ethics below to read for yourself. The California version is adapted from model rules suggested and published by the American Bar Association.
Most of the rule are really general guidelines such as "A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office impartially and diligently". There is even a rule that says "A judge shall not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation."
I don't know where you heard this "rule", but the source is highly questionable.

Wiccan is now a respectable religion. Except for the USA VA, which won't allow a Wiccan symbol on a deceased military hero's tombstone.
A judge may date, marry, or be a Wiccan.

I believe that a Judge is allowed to date a Witch.
