Navillus, Thanks for reading, I’m glad you’re enjoying my blog. I did want to clarify one point you mention.”I think the Wiccan family finally did win that case against the VA.”The state of Arizona decided they had the jurisdiction to do so and gave Patrick Stewart a Pentacle on his marker, but the Pentacle still isn’t considered an approved symbol to be put on military gravestones and markers. So the battle rages on (in court).

I just found your blog through a google search. Lots of interesting material, I’m looking forward to checking it out more thoroughly.Pagans and Humanists are perpetually the bastard stepchildren of the philosophical/spiritual family.I just commented to someone earlier today who was talking about cults that Christianity was a cult on the beginning and that they borrowed many of their festivals and rituals from the pagans (Saturnalia and Mithras) to mainstream themselves and make themselves less culty.I think the Wiccan family finally did win that case against the VA.Looking forward to reading more.

And be sure to read her book, which upset some "essentialist" feminists no end, coming as it did from a women's studies professor.
