MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) -- The Wiccan pentacle has been added to the list of emblems allowed in national cemeteries and on government-issued headstones of fallen soldiers, according to a settlement announced Monday.
A settlement between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Wiccans adds the five-pointed star to the list of "emblems of belief" allowed on VA grave markers.
Eleven families nationwide are waiting for grave markers with the pentacle, said Selena Fox, a Wiccan high priestess with Circle Sanctuary in Barneveld, Wisconsin, a plaintiff in the lawsuit.

Seems okay. I've read the link, which I agree with the fact that other religions eg Christians mark their graves with the cross etc.
Masons sometimes have a compass and set square on their graves and of course the eternal flame in some instances.

I think the problem is we have too many religions.. we don't need anymore..
Anyway witches are nutters... I've just been talking to a friend who lived out in Malaysia and Indonesia.. He said that Witchcraft is widespread and most people use it to attack people they don't like...
Maybe James the 1st had the right idea...
Maybe if our country were full of witches we'd just be finding new ways to curse eachother and get ahead in business... And if noone would ever find out.. how much greater the temptation to get what you want by 'fair means or foul'...
For once I think the story books I read as a kid are spot on. Witches are NOT to be trusted.
And unless you have a fondness for being pursued by demons for the rest of your life I suggest you do not do any ouija boarding or spirit summoning...
Remember poor John Dee and any number of people today suffering for their dabbling in occult practice.
If you're going to allow witchcraft you may as well allow masons... Masonry is witchcraft afterall.
Just read Macbeth.... It's all about the links between witchcraft and Scottish masonry...

What's with all the Wiccans in the house? Man, I know one at work, she's a pro-nwo neo Marxist China loving fruitcake... Tells me all I need to know..
If there is one religion that sums up the Luciferian NWO it is Wicca...
There's a big blind spot here guys you gotta fix up...
Why the hell do you guys need to be told what to think and what is real?
Do what thou wilt.... Didin't Crowley believe the same... Please guys, my gran is a white witch... when I got illuminated guess what I discovered?
She was too.... Ilumie witch from a royal bloodline... love her to bits an all, but she's been programmed too...
It's horseshit...bin it!
And it says 'celtic' too.. sorry guys but you do know that the Celts and druids were infamous for human sacrifice.. Barbarians, they made the Romans look restrained..
You guys are out there on the edge about to break into total freedom, this shit is gonna suck you right back into the darkness..

Are you done?
Aussie thing? It is the US army that has recognised it.
This Aussie however has had a bit to do with wiccans and they are not satanists, white or black witches, do not cast spells on people no matter how tempting at times and live their lives in touch with the earth and nature. They are free spirits, loving, caring, compassionate and do not intentionally hurt anyone or anything.
Seems our experiences differ ,so yes....live and let live.

Who would disagree with the following?
Wicca is a deep appreciation and awe in watching the sunrise or sunset, the forest in the light of a glowing moon, a meadow enchanted by the first light of day. It is the morning dew on the petals of a beautiful flower, the gentle caress of a warm summer breeze upon your skin, or the warmth of the summer sun on your face. Wicca is the fall of colorful autumn leaves, and the softness of winter snow. It is light, and shadow and all that lies in between. It is the song of the birds and other creatures of the wild. It is being in the presence of Mother Earths nature and being humbled in reverence.
That is not Wicca... That's what most people with a miodicum of awareness feel...
You're being fluffed by propaganda...

We agree on most things... I don't want to argue but too much evil is and has been done and will continue to be done in the name of the 'craft'..
The masons say similar 'fluffy' things about their craft...
It may be a good way to get into magic.. but it's still a control group with many evil followers...
Read a great book about a very high profile MPD sufferer (friend of Bill Gates) who under hypnosis recalls that he was abused as a child by a 'witch'....
Now's not the time to fall into another evil control matrix..

The information on this treatise on Wicca is taken primarily from a book entitled, "Wicca: Satan's Little White Lie" by Bill Schnoebelen. This book will give insight into the web of confusion, lies, fables, myths, and deceit found in Wicca. Mr. Schnoebelen was--
"initiate into the Alexandrian Wicca on Imbolc, February 2, 1973 and made a High Priest and Magus in September of the same year. That summer his lady and he were also promoted to the High Priestly rank in the Druidic Craft of the Wise. They also helped establish a Church of All Worlds "nest" in Milwaukee and studied under Gavin and Yvonne Frost and their Church and School of Wicca. They presided over one of the oldest and largest networks of covens in the Midwest."
Author: William Schnoebelen
ISBN: 9780937958346
Price: $11.95 US
Pages: 224 - Paperback
The danger of white witchcraft exposed!
Bill Schnoebelen thought Wicca was a harmless nature-worshipping religion. But once he got on the inside and began climbing to higher and higher levels, he learned that it is nothing more than one of Satan's most clever recruiting tools, designed to lead many into actual Satan worship.
Here is the fascinating personal testimony of a man who stepped into this Satanic trap, and the thrilling account of how Jesus Christ rescued him. You will learn what Wicca is REALLY all about, and become equipped to prevent others from being deceived.

This is a book by the SAME Bill Schnoebelen who later became a satanist and later discovered the error of his ways and started exposing the Illuminati..
Wicca is Illuminism.

This is too easy guys.. how come you Wiccans haven't done this research yet?
I learned from our initiators that it seemed that Wicca is, in fact, a manufactured religion not much older than this century. There did not seem to be evidence for any Book of Shadows (a combined "bible" and ritual book for Wiccans) much older than the 1910's!
You see, Wicca is one of Satan's "nicer" creations, tailor-made for the last half of this century. Although it may have existed for perhaps a century at most, it "came out of the broom closet" in 1951, when the British laws against witchcraft were repealed. It is nothing really new, but its packaging is subtly different, tailored to a world strangling on its own technology and dying for romance, idealism and meaning.
A Cult of Deception
You may say: "So you got sucked in too deep. So what? I've been a witch for years and never got into that satanic junk. It's just a Christian myth for real losers. As long as I stay where I am, I'm cool. I'm happy!" That may be so, but do you honestly want to belong to a cult that deals in deception?
Let's look at the word, "Wicca," as an example. The OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY reveals that the word does not mean "wise one." It means twisted, bent, or warped. Even Margot Adler admits that the word has its roots in the Indo-European roots "wic" or "weik" meaning "to bend or to turn." Of course, she tries to put the best possible face on it by saying that:
"According to this view, a Witch would be a woman ( or man) skilled in the art of shaping, bending and changing reality."
Elsewhere, she asserts that:
"The lexicographical (dictionary) definitions of witch are rather confusing and bear little relation to the definitions given by Witches themselves."
But this is playing games, the same sort of word games most cultists play to conceal the truth. By this standard, anyone, including Anton LaVey, could say they were a witch and be right.
Yet you should hear the howls of rage among the Neo-Pagan community when even Gavin and Yvonne Frost first claimed to be witches. They couldn't be witches, they were monotheists, fakes and gay-bashers! So all of a sudden there WAS an objective standard of what makes one a witch. Yet like many things in occultism, it vanishes like mist when you try and pin it down.
In my own personal development as a witch, and the development of almost all our colleagues, I found that after about five or six yeaars it was necessary to begin pursuing the study of the "Higher Wisdom" of Satan in order to keep growing. Magick is like a drug. You keep needing more in order to stay at a level at which you feel fulfilled. There is no end to it!
If you've stayed a Wiccan or "white" witch for a long time, it's only because you don't have enough of the Promethean itch to grow. OR it may be that you have many Christian friends or loved ones praying for you. Did you ever think of that?
Satan's hoofprints are all over Wicca
Satan's hoofprints are all over Wicca!
Excerpted from Wicca, by William Schnoebelen
©1990 by William Schnoebelen. Reproduced by permission
Even in the lower levels of Wicca, the doctrines of Satan begin to creep in. For our rite (the Alexandrian), the sign of Second Grade is the inverted pentagram drawn on the body. This symbolizes the bottom seven Sephirot (or spheres) of the qabalistic Tree of Life. Unfortunately it is also the symbol of the satanic Goat of Mendez, one of the most celebrated symbols of devil-worship.
We were taught that this Grade was male (horned god) oriented, and that to invoke prosperity and power onto the earth plane, it was necessary to use this inverted pentagram. For us, the inverted star was the symbol of the god, and the upright star the symbol of the goddess. Thus, already in Second Grade, we were skating on the fringes of satanic practice.
The "hoofprints" of Satan were all over Wicca, and they were literally on me! As a High Priest, I did one ceremony invoking my "higher self" or Holy Guardian Angel. The being who man-ifested caused a candle in the temple to erupt violently. A little ball of fire or hot wax (I’ll never know for sure which) shot across the room and hit me in the forearm, leaving a searing brand in the precise shape of a cloven hoof. By that time, I saw it as a great blessing!
The question becomes, "How do you know that what you are doing is safe? How do you know that it isn’t satanic, even in the lower degrees? Even if you’re just a witch and not a magician, are you still in grave danger?"
Sadly, you are. Jesus tells us that anyone who is not with Him is against Him (Matthew 12:30). To be "with" Jesus means to accept Him as your Savior and make Him absolute Lord of your life. If you are a "white" witch, you probably either don’t believe in Jesus at all, or you believe He was a great sage or wise man or adept, perhaps even a witch Himself. That is not the true Jesus!
Who Really Is Jesus?
Jesus is not a sage or adept, He is the Almighty Lord God of the Universe who came in the flesh, died and shed His blood for you. If you aren’t trusting in that Jesus and that blood for your eternal destiny, then heartbreakingly, you are in Satan’s camp.
You are part of a system of ritual which is ultimately controlled by Satan! It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe in Satan, he’s still there and he’s still horrifyingly real! Just because you don’t believe in gravity doesn’t mean that if you jump off a cliff you won’t get splattered all over the landscape! The law of gravity cannot be violated with impunity, and neither can the laws of God.
If you think Satan is just a Christian myth, you are whistling in the dark. All you have to do is look over your shoulder and he is there, keeping his eye on his toy — YOU!
You don’t have to be sacrificing virgins or turning crosses upside down to be a satanist! All you have to do is spurn Jesus Christ and you are a satanist! If you remember nothing else from this book, remember this:
ALL pagan religions are controlled by Satan!
It doesn’t matter if you worship Pan or Krishna or Diana or Thor; the face behind the mask of your god is Satan’s. Even if you are a purported atheist, you are still worshiping Satan; for you have undoubtedly made one element your idol (the center of your life): whether it’s power, money, knowledge, freedom or some other ideal.
The true God says:
I am the LORD thy God... Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (idol), or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God...
(Exodus 20:2-5)
It’s that simple. There are two religious systems in the world. One is controlled by Satan. The other owes its only allegiance to Jesus Christ. Put simply, if you aren’t a believer in Jesus Christ as Almighty God come in the flesh to save you from your sins, you are a satanist!
You see, both my wife and I worked unbelievably hard to be the best possible priestly couple we could be and lead our covens well. We studied and memorized rituals. We counselled our people and tried to help them with their various problems. We were desperately sincere, and thought Christianity was just a bigoted, monotheistic system of legalistic jive!
The Fantasy Goes Sour
But we were never really at peace. We did all the right things and tried to help our people grow, but they never seemed fulfilled either. They acted happy, but their eyes were dark and hollow. They said they were fulfilled, but their lives denied it. We were the ONLY married couple we knew in all our years of Wicca that didn’t get divorced!
Sadly, a majority of the people we tried to help got worse! Many of them became either so filled with their own egos that they could never relate to anyone else or they sank into the mire of drugs or liquor. Two or three went quite insane!
In Milwaukee, we had psychic wars between groups. Witches were shooting at each other in the streets because of adultery! Curses were filling the air like mosquitoes on a hot Wisconsin night!
Pagans like to make fun of Catholics because of all the wars they started, but the only difference between the Pagans and the Catholics is that the Pagans never ran a government and had the power to raise armies. I used to read THE GREEN EGG, Tim Zell’s Neo-pagan magazine. Almost every issue contained a vicious feud in the letter columns.
Why? Because you are dealing with sinful, fallen human beings, that’s why! God says the human heart is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9). Without Jesus Christ, people are going to act like spoiled brats! Look around you! How else can you account for all the evil in the world? Killing, bigotry, rape and war — these are the fruits of Satan-worship, under its many guises.
But love, joy, peace, patience, and long-suffering are the fruits of the Holy Spirit.
You may not call yourself a satanist, but if you have not made Jesus Christ your Lord and Master, then Satan is your lord and master. We learned this the hard way! No amount of effort, study or practice on your part will ever bring you the peace or fulfillment you seek. Nor will belonging to any church, Protestant, Catholic or Jewish.
If I’m a Witch, What Can I Do?
Christianity is not a religion! It is anti-religion!! Religion is man’s attempts to do certain things to please his deity. Christianity is a relationship with the Lord of the Universe, Jesus Christ! Only trusting in Jesus for your salvation can make you a saved person:
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(Romans 10:13)
Church affiliation or following a litany of legalistic rules won’t do it. Those concepts are lies foisted on the world by Satan, then gradually adopted by many major denominations. But it is not what the Bible says:
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
(Romans 10:9-10)
Religionists, of whatever stripe, who make a career out of frightening people and making them work their way to God, are preaching a lie from the pit of hell! You don’t have to live your life in agony, wondering about your fate after death. Nor do you have to worry about "karma" and the wheel of rebirth! John the Apostle wrote:
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life.
(1 John 5:13)
Not hope, but "KNOW" that you can have eternal life with God forever! Consider the alternative Wicca offers you, supposedly lifetime after lifetime trying to pick up your mistakes from previous lifetimes. I would not treat a DOG that badly!
Besides, isn’t the prospect of living in resurrected glory with Jesus more appealing than spending a few more hundred lifetimes running around the treadmill of the wheel of karma, chasing a shapeless future?
Jesus makes it so easy for you. All you have to do is lay aside your pride and belief in all those Pagan gods and admit that they cannot save you. Ask Jesus to forgive your sins and save you from hell and to be the Lord of your life (Romans 10:9-13). Jesus is real, and will be delighted to meet you right where you are!
Thank God, there is an alternative — a blessed assurance of eternal life! That’s quite a promise! All you need to do to receive it is simply do these five things:
1. Admit to God that you’re not perfect, that you’re a sinner. As the Bible says: "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23). Realize that it is only by having faith in Jesus and Him only for your salvation that you can become a child of God and heir to the promise. (Ephesians 2:8-9).
2. Repent and turn away from those sins, especially the sin of witchcraft. God says, "...rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft;" (1 Samuel 15:23) and "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Luke 13:3).
3. Pray and ask Jesus to come into your heart and take away your sins! (Romans 10:9-13). Ask Him to be your Savior! "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5)
4. Make Jesus the Lord of your life and give Him control over every part of it. See John 14:15: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." And Romans 12:1-2:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
5. Then know that you are saved (1 John 5:13) and that Satan no longer has any hold over you. You have full assurance of heaven — assurance that no person can give, but Jesus can! He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
It’s that simple! Why put your trust in books and rituals that were written by flawed men and women — especially since much of it is manufactured and made up out of whole cloth? Are people like Alex Sanders or Gerald Gardner worth trusting over Jesus? Who else can redeem you?
If you say, as some "white" witches have to me, that you need no redeemer — that you depend on yourself for spiritual salvation; then you are mouthing the creeds of the satanist! Anton LaVey, the head of the Church of Satan, wrote:
Here and now is our day of joy! Here and now is our opportunity! Choose ye this day, this hour, for no redeemer liveth. Say unto thine own heart, "I am mine own redeemer."
You see how far into the enemy’s camp you already are? You are telling Jesus Christ that you don’t need Him! You are saying to Him that He shed His blood on Calvary in vain in your case! Why do you ignore the plain testimony of His resurrection and saving power? Why do you ignore the Bible in favor of religions made up by people? Why do you trust Gerald Gardner more than the most trustworthy book in human history?
God has promised that His Word (Who is Jesus, see John 1:1-14) will endure forever! His Word is perfect and eternal and will outlast both the heavens and the earth (Matt.5:18; 1 Peter 1:24-25) Can’t you take Him at His word?
Realize, as I did after over a year of study and research, that not one Biblical prophecy has failed to happen exactly as predicted; and that Jesus Himself was the fulfillment of over 300 Old Testament prophecies! Some prophecies in Daniel foretold events hundreds and even thousands of years in the future, yet all have been fulfilled right down to the very year! What witch or psychic has that kind of track record?
Please remember, we’re talking about eternity here! What if your belief system is wrong — dangerously wrong? God says that without Jesus, you, as a Witch or Pagan, will go into the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8). Are the books and people in whom you are putting your faith for spiritual success that trustworthy? Don’t you owe it to yourself to at least investigate what I’m telling you?
Remember, I’ve been there! Wicca, however noble and idealistic it might seem, is a modern, artificial religion created by cleaning up continental satanism a bit. It’s like putting rouge and mascara on a decomposing corpse! The rotten, putrid heart is the same, it just looks nicer.
There are only two kinds of Wiccans, the "higher ups" who know that Satan is their god; and the innocent ones of lower Grade who think they’re worshipping nature deities.
Which kind are you?
In case you have any thoughts about trying to remain an "innocent" Pagan, just playing in the forest and worshiping the goddess, hear what God’s Word has to say about nature deities:
Professing themselves to be wise (wise ones?), they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
(Romans 1:22-25)
Come to Jesus! It will be the best decision you ever made!

And before I get 'hounded' for favouring Jesus, I will say that I personally had to be 'saved' by Jesus in order to escape the Illuminati... Just like dear Bill. That's just the way it goes...
By all means do your own magic but don't do it when other people (or beings) are pullling your strings..
I recognise that Jesus is just part of a system so please don't call me 'Christian' or Bible lover..
I recognise that it is ALL just total BOLLOCKS.
Trust NOONE but yourself (and maybe your ma, and your best mate)....
Many people here know that they really are out to get you... but they can only do it with your help... Being a witch is your signature on your soul fuck consent form...

We work skyclad, practice binding and scourging, are hierarchal and secretive, therefore we are controversial.
Like many Wiccan traditions, Gardnerians have three degrees. An American Gardnerian must be of the 3rd degree before she can become a HPS. The HPS/HP are responsible for conducting services (circles), training their conveners, and preserving and passing on Gardnerian Craft. *[This material quoted from Converging Paths Newsletter, Kyril, Brita, & Hugh authors.]
Degrees, ritual, secrecy...!

My point is that we shouldn't be restricted to what we can have on our graves. I think it's a personal choice and shouldn't be the business of any church or government.
But you already knew the answer, so what's YOUR point?

Only problem is many people's 'free choice' is to do serve only themselves...
Human nature.
"free-choice' is a right which requires responsibility...
It sounds nice and right on... fluffy and all... but I'm not sure I would give people the free choice to abuse, enslave and trick people...
Free choice to watch shit Tv, eat junk food get fat, get ill, go to hospital,
Free choice to rip off your friends neighbours and colleaugues...
Free choice to kill brown men in a distant country just because you want to be a hero..
Free choice to poison men women and children indiscriminantly with toxic food additives just so you can earn more money and live a life of luxury on the sufffering of others..
Free choice to destroy the love and happiness of the human soul. To wipe the smile of the child's face and replace love with hate through years of oppression and confusion.
Free choice to support this state of affairs because it is easier than thinking for yourself.
Some things need to be reviewed.. I suppose that's my point. I thought I'd made myself fairly quite clear about the Wiccan baby brotherhood with my ten other posts... oh well...
There should be NO Wiccans and Masons period becuase they are secretive heirarchical organisations which do not operate in harmony with the striving for good on this planet....
I kinda thought we'all knew that... I got a surprise... So when I'm telling you all about my encounters with the Illumies I guess you Wiccans are gonna keep SHTUUM because it's a 'secret' right?

Masons sometimes have a compass and set square on their graves and of course the eternal flame in some instances.:rolleyes:

I think the problem is we have too many religions.. we don't need anymore..
Anyway witches are nutters... I've just been talking to a friend who lived out in Malaysia and Indonesia.. He said that Witchcraft is widespread and most people use it to attack people they don't like...
Maybe James the 1st had the right idea...
Maybe if our country were full of witches we'd just be finding new ways to curse eachother and get ahead in business... And if noone would ever find out.. how much greater the temptation to get what you want by 'fair means or foul'...
For once I think the story books I read as a kid are spot on. Witches are NOT to be trusted.
And unless you have a fondness for being pursued by demons for the rest of your life I suggest you do not do any ouija boarding or spirit summoning...
Remember poor John Dee and any number of people today suffering for their dabbling in occult practice.
If you're going to allow witchcraft you may as well allow masons... Masonry is witchcraft afterall.
Just read Macbeth.... It's all about the links between witchcraft and Scottish masonry...
Tbh; get a clue dude. I wont even begin on your contradictions.
MAYBE IT's TIME FOR ANOTHER INQUISITION, WE NEED TO DETTACH PPL FROM THE SPIRITUAL ARENA ...AGAIN!!
I think it's great news!

You answer NONE of my points..
Wicca is about control and eventual possession by demons...
It is worse than spiritual ignorance because Wicca is about spiritual control...
Is it better to be penniless or in debt?
Is it better to be healthy or sick...
Let me tell you, Witchcraft leads to spiritual sickness.
You have no counter argument... Just blind dangerous self destructive folly...
I've been there dude, I hope you wake up before it's too late...
A friendly warning...
