Oh and crappy opener..."some people say they can see dead people and all believe in the supernatural". As a former Catholic, I know there are a lot of Christians/other religions who feel the same way. And what is it with the skulls? Many alters, certainly arent' filled with skulls, actually in my circle, I've only seen one member who has a skull on her alter. Stop trying to over-sensationalize to sell your news. We are people, just like you.
What really bothered me is that I believe the first Wiccan soldier to come home and be buried in Arlington....his wife was not only told that he couldn't have the Wiccan symbol, but that she could not speak at his funeral, so they had to have an "alternate" Wiccan funeral at another site that was several miles away. I used to be Catholic and now am Pagan....these soldiers have a right to chose their religion just as I do, and if they lay down their lives for the USA, then honor them!
what is it with new reporters when they interview someone who follow Wicca or Paganism they name them then underneath lable them "Wicca member" its not a bloody after school club! you dont see "Christian member" or "Hindu Member"
That gave me chills and makes me so sad. I never knew that so many of them could not have the pentagram on their headstone. I hope that someday, we don't have to fight so hard for what we believe.

Other Pagan religions use a pentacle. Not just Wiccans

But Wicca was, perhaps, the first religion to use it in public...
