Protect yourself and those WHOM YOU LOVE.. width="425" height="350" ..Wiccan lawsuit's goal: AcceptanceBy SCOTT BAUER, Associated Press Writer Thu Dec 21, 10:35 AM ET BARNEVELD, Wis. - With an estimated 400,000 members nationwide, and a high-profile fight with the federal government over veterans' grave markers, Wiccans are moving into a more prominent place in the religious landscapeSelena Fox is leading the way.A Wiccan priestess and founder of Circle Sanctuary, a 200-acre nature center in the Wisconsin woods about 30 miles west of Madison, Fox battles for acceptance of the so-called neo-pagan religion.Though they are often equated with witches, many Wiccans reject the label because of the baggage it brings.Fox, whose graying hair flows midway down her purple dress and matching cape, exudes more hippie-esque charm than any kind of Hollywood-conjured witchery. She embraces the task of fighting discrimination against Wiccans."Spirituality should be something that lifts the spirit," she said.Fox, a 57-year-old psychotherapist, wants to make clear that Wiccans do not worship the devil or engage in Satanism. She doesn't cast spells, ride a broomstick or wear a pointy black hat.The golden rule for Wiccans is, "And it harm none, do what you will."A nature-based religion, the Wiccan faith is founded on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons.A "yule tree," which looks identical to a Christmas tree, sits in a corner of the 100-year-old red dairy barn Fox has converted into an office, meeting room and spiritual center."We worship the divine and we do that by recognizing that the divine permeates all of life," Fox said./The highest profile fight in Wiccans' struggle for recognition is with the federal government over its refusal to allow pentacles on grave markers issued by the Department of Veterans Affairs' Department of Veterans Affairs . The pentacle, a symbol of Wiccans, is a five-pointed star representing earth, air, fire, water and spirit. Variations of it that are not part of the Wiccan belief have been used in horror movies as a sign of the devil./Last month, Americans United for Separation of Church and State sued the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs on behalf of Circle Sanctuary and others arguing that the VA is violating the constitutional rights of Wiccans. Buried at Circle Sanctuary's cemetery are the remains of two soldiers — a Vietnam veteran from Ohio, and Jerome Birnbaum, a Korean War veteran. There also is a memorial to Nevada National Guard Sgt. Patrick Stewart, who was killed in Afghanistan last year. The widows of Stewart and Birnbaum are part of the lawsuit. Fox and others say not including the pentacle on the list of accepted grave marker symbols is especially maddening because the Army Chaplain handbook has listed ways to accommodate Wiccans since 1978 and about 1,800 active-duty service members identify themselves as Wiccans, according to 2005 Defense Department statistics. Fox said the VA's lack of acceptance of the pentacle points to prejudice. "I didn't want to have to sue the government to try to get the U.S. Constitution upheld," Fox said. "It's discrimination. There's no other explanation I can think of." A spokesman for the VA had no comment, citing the ongoing litigation. People are attracted to the Wiccan religion for its devotion to nature and incorporation of both male and female deities, said Nikki Bado-Fralick, an assistant professor of religion and women's studies at Iowa State University. She estimates the number of Wiccans nationwide has increased from about 40,000 in the late 1970s to around 400,000 today. /The Census Bureau based on a survey in which people self-report their religion, put the number at a more modest 134,000 as of 2001. Fox said she thinks that number is low because many Wiccans fear reporting their religion. "Oh lord, everyone thinks you worship the devil," said Joey Bunbury, a 39-year-old property manager from Madison and a Wiccan for about a decade. "People don't understand." Some Wiccans use the name good witch, pagan or neo-pagan, to describe their spirituality, but others say there's just too much of a negative connotation and prefer to be called Wiccans. "There's a misinterpretation that says if you say you're pagan or Wiccan, you're weird," said Jerrie Hildebrand, an ordained Wiccan minister living in Salem, Mass. "Most of us look like Joe or Jane America and you'd never know." Hildebrand is assistant director of the Lady Liberty League, a group headed by Fox that addresses discrimination. She said the group receives more than 100 complaints a year, and only a handful ever get amicably resolved. Complaints range from school children being told they can't wear jewelry with Wiccan symbols to workers who face harassment.Circle Sanctuary is currently one of the pagan church's supporting this causehttp://www.circlesanctuary.org/liberty/veteranpentacle/ /

My faith

To start off I would like state what I believe in …..

I believe that the divine is the ultimate unknowable it can not be forced or explained

Only experienced

I believe in karma what you give out to this world comes back to times three good & bad

I believe karma can be transformed into lifetimes

I believe in reincarnation in the form of a soul using a body as a vehicle in several lifetimes, not in a form such as trees or animals

I believe in an afterlife, I choose to call this the Summerland

I believe in old souls having karma- debt to one & another

I believe old souls find one and another in many lifetimes

I believe that animals are divine extension of the Lord Lady

I believe in living a life of service greater than oneself

I believe everything happens for a reason

I believe something’s will never make sense to us in this lifetime until

We reflect on our lives in the Summer Land {aka} the other side- Heaven

I firmly believe in the power & accuracy of Akashic Records {aka} charts

I believe that we don’t come back to this earthly plane for earthly things such as money or a career only to learn, grow, love & settle out previous lifetimes of unfinished business, lessons & karma

I believe completely in the Goddesses (in male & female form)

I believe in any religion that harms none & I do not believe my faith is the only way

I believe the divine speaks to us in many ways ( IN A WAY WE CAN BE REACHED) not just in one form, so therefore, I believe in Unitarian Views

I believe that the earth does not belong to us that WE BELONG TO THE EARTH

How do I come up with my synopsis of these beliefs? I have dreamt them in my dreams, felt them in every fiber of my being, remembered many memories of several lifetimes & mostly studied many religions not just my own.

My faith & this page

I am not going to tell you what to do here or what I don ’ t believe in. Or speak on behalf of the rest of my fellow pagans. I will talk about myself, what I practice and believe in. Originally, I joined myspace to just blog my thoughts & connect with the like mind, in the process, I have been taken on an amazing spiritual cyber space social journey in the process. I now plan to use this page in the most positive mannerism that I am capable of. I only allow positive energy in this page & I hope you leave here with positives in your hearts.

A brief biography of myself……

I have been interested in spirituality since I was about fifteen and practicing the craft for seven years. I am an Eclectic pagan; however I am becoming more interested in Correlian paganism. My interests vary & I am constantly learning new things & I feel this research will continue until death. I am grounded by uses of Reiki, stones, herbs& mediation. I have a deep interest for the history and views of Druidism, Celtic & Native American cultures. There has been a time in my life, where I have unfortunately shelved my spirituality. I am now completely whole & grounded that spirituality is back in my life. I currently reside in the Chicago land Illinois area, I am 27 years of age, & every year I’m wiser mentally & spiritually. This year recently I actually joined my first coven; its great so far, I thank the goddesses for providing me with my needs with them they all are real nice and the coven it suits my needs at the current time. I am currently at student at http://www.witchschool.com/ and my goal there is to become a third degree level. Along with this I am working on utilizing my passion & respect for animals for one of my callings professionally, as I feel that this is what I am being told & asked to do in this lifetime.

I suggest……

Any of you whom are unaware of anything spiritually in your area to check out

Meetup.com

http://witchvox.com

http://Lightworks.com/

Yahoo groups, Msn groups, Aol groups, Google groups, Myspace Groups

Myspace or my http://groups.myspace.com/dreamlinkers

I was a solitary with my faith for many years. I highly suggest networking outside of myspace as it’s a very enlightening & healthy feeling to do so.

Learning from me or sharing…..

If you ’ re just curious about me or the faith I follow, and wish to question what I believe in or if any person wants help on learning on certain subjects. I love sharing feel free to contact me. I will help you out in the best way If I can. If it’s Reiki from Witchcraft to Buddhism whatever it is if I know about it I can help; if I am unaware of subject I will lead you to someplace or someone that can tell you about any subject. If you got this far thanks so much and hope to see you again Kel-Delphine
