Greetings brothers, sisters and kin, Our community has endured much over that last several months, from Pagans having their membership in Masonic lodges revoked, to attacks on the home of a Pagan author to recent threats of protests. Through this entire process the community has banded together, shown support and presented the face of our community as one of love, acceptance and support for our community members. In just a few days the Okeechobee Summer Solstice Festival will take place in Pahokee Florida. It is natural that the surrounding controversy has caused some concern as to what will take place … Continue reading →

Florida has been on quite a roll lately.  Aren’t we just the hubbub of activity these days? In April of this year, our good friend and one of the pioneering pagan children’s authors, Kyrja Withers, and her husband underwent severe threatening harassment, which began with people screaming expletives and honking as they drove by, progressing to a pellet gun being fired at her house, and then escalating to two acid bombs being tossed into her front yard. This, of course, would cause any family extreme fear and stress about any further harassment and the level to which it might continue … Continue reading →

Earlier, we discussed the history of pagan and Wiccan activism.  Here are some of the faces of our Community activists.  There have been and are so many pagan and Wiccan activists, it’s impossible to list them all, but these are few of the more well-known activists. Remember, We, individually and as a Community, are the best advocates and activists we have.  Remember to vote and support legislation that promotes our rights.  Every day we give a face of our beliefs to the world. Phyllis Curott – Phyllis is an attorney who supports the rights of pagans and Wiccans through The … Continue reading →

the letter a copy

A is for Activists (Thanks to Peter Dybing for the Reader’s Choice Subject) I overheard the following statement once:  “Why do we need activists in Paganism and Wicca anyway?  I mean we have a lot of rights.  Religious freedom is in the Constitution in America.  We really don’t need them.”  This was one of those moments when my mouth dropped open and I had to blink several times to assure myself that this is what I heard. I would like to say that I never heard this statement reiterated again, but that’s not true. As paganism and Wicca has rapidly … Continue reading →
