Wiccans Refused Military Honor, Charity refuses Pagan Donations, Phyllis Curott, Chinese Witches

Thursday October 6, 2005

Wiccan military vets are incensed over the Department of Defense's refusal to approve Pagan symbols for headstone inscriptions, while Mormons, atheists, and even Sufi believers have the ability to get their memorial stones engraved.

In other sad news, a children's hospital has publicly refused to accept donations from a planned Pagan festival in Colorado. (This is the same Festival mentioned in an earlier story)

Well known Wiccan Priestess Phyllis Curott lectures on religious tolerance and the rise of the religious right, while the Taipei Times profiles a Chinese witch.
