UPHOLD PAGAN RIGHTS at September 12 Celebrating Earth Spirituality Festival
On Saturday, September 12, 2009, the Celebrating Earth Spirituality Festival will be held from 10 am - 6 pm at Stroudtburg Village, an oldtime European-styled hamlet shopping area in Adamstown, Pennsylvania. A schedule of Festival activities and other info is on-line:
http://www.readingpagansandwitches.com/CESFest.htm
The Festival is being sponsored by the Reading Pagans and Witches, a non-profit organization which has been successfully sponsoring Pagan events in the region since its founding in 2004: http://www.readingpagansandwitches.com/about_rpw.htm
The intended purpose of the Celebrating Earth Spirituality Festival is to bring Pagans of many paths together for education, celebration, and community outreach.
However, this Festival is now also becoming a public stand to uphold Pagan rights and religious freedom.
Over the past week, discrimination against this event and prejudice against Paganism and the Craft has surfaced:
* Some of those who operate shops in the venue during times it has been rented by other groups have publicly announced that they will not be open during this event due to their opposition to Paganism. More details have been published in a recent article in a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania newspaper: http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/241820
* Furthermore, a group of Christian pastors opposed to the Festival and Paganism have begun a series of anti-Pagan gatherings and prayer sessions with their congregations: http://www.gatewayprayer.com/religion/. In addition, they plan to show up at the Festival as protesters.
Festival organizers, with the support of the Lady Liberty League and others, are continuing with their plans to holdthe Celebrating Earth Spirituality Festival, and they need your help!
How to Help:
(1) ATTEND: take part in some or all of the Festival. Celebrate Paganism and Pagan religious freedom throughout the day. Be part of a peaceful Pagan presence. Be polite. Dress conservatively. Don't argue with protesters.
(2) ATTUNE: spiritually connect with the Festival from wherever you are. Send blessings in advance as well as while it is going on. Send blessings of peace, understanding, protection, and success to the Festival, Festival organizers, and Festival participants.
(3) WELL WISHES: email words of support and blessings to the Festival organizers: support@readingpagansandwitches.com
(4) NETWORK: Forward this call to action to e-lists, blogs, websites, and others.
(5) STAY INFORMED: For updates, visit Lady Liberty League on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ladylibertyleag and Facebook.
Lady Liberty League is a Pagan civil rights and religious freedom organization sponsored by Circle Sanctuary.

I WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My dear blogging friend Junie Moon hosted a give away in honro of her 2 Year anniverary in the blogging community. Her blog is such an inspiration for many things: Eco-cleaning, themed gifting for holidays, making items to help those in need and so much more.
If you have never been to her blog you must go. I found Junie through Kelli and these women have helped shape my life. Among many of you as well.

What a day
Today I took off to get plates for my car. Smooth sailing (other than the price) in and out in 20 minutes. Howver, I get home to my husband saying he is feeling "weird" and doesn't feel like he can get a deep breath. No pain, no numbness.
So, he calls the VA to make an appointment and the woman tells him to call 911. We hop in the car and head out to the VA. All the while Hubby saying if he feels different he'll let me know, etc, etc.
We get there and he gets in pretty quick intitially. Lab work. Pee test. Blood pressure is a bit elevated. By the time the tech is finished with all the paperwork it has come down.
Then we wait.............................
2 hours later we get in to see the doctor. Thank heavens nothing is wrong, like a heart attack. Pretty darn healthy. However, seems to be a case of anxiety.
So he goes back tomorrow for a chest x-ray and an EKG to be safe, a thorough checkup and hopefully something to quit smoking! *relief*
