This page contains some of the more interesting news stories I come accross on the Web that somehow relate to Wiccan/Pagan issues. Not all news will be posted, but I will try to get a couple especially interesting articles up a week. Older articles will not be kept, rather this page will be the only one up and when it is full older articles will be erased. Sorry if this causes any trouble, but I don't have the time to worry about archiving things at this point!
By the way, I am sorry if any of the links to the "full stories" don't work. Sometimes the newspapers and such don't archive them and so they can fail. For the most part, though, I hope you have no trouble with them.

Let's just call it Wiccagate.
For those of you who may have missed it, inexplicable because it even made national news, a rededication of the Witches Grove, a Lancaster store frequented by followers of the Wiccan religion, was disrupted by a group of Christian demonstrators March 16.
Store proprietors alleged that Christian protesters bumped participants in the Wiccan ritual, screamed Bible verses and blared Christian rock music in the store's back parking lot, where the rededication ceremony took place.
