The roots of Lammas are ancient, but this Holiday celebrating the Corn-King's self-sacrifice is especially relevant in these times. Lammas is an important opportunity to show our gratitude to those who have made personal sacrifices so that the Pagan community may thrive. Outdoor rituals are a lot of fun. It's a good idea, though, to take proper precautions to that heat, rain, and wind don't ruin your celebration.

Pagan Veterans Honored We're postponing our previously recorded show to bring you a very special interview with Rev. Selena Fox about the successful conclusion of the Pentacle Quest. As you know, Wiccans have struggled for about a decade with the Veterans Administration to ensure that the Pentacle is included on its list of approved religious symbols that can be placed on VA grave markers. The struggle began in 1997 and intensified a little over a year ago, when Sgt. Patrick Stewart was killed in action during Operation: Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan's Kandahar region. As a result of the joint efforts of a broad based coalition of religious groups, Pagan and other, and with the legal muscle of the ACLU and Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, the Pentacle was added to the VA's list of approved religious symbols on April 23. A special ceremony, dedicating the first three Wiccan veterans grave markers will be held Monday, May 28, 2007 at Circle Sanctuary.

Finally, the show is back up. I can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me. Today, it's just Jeva in the studio, but the others will be back soon. Conspiracy Theories, just what is it that makes them so much fun? I've spent way more time watching all sorts of conspiracy videos, but the more of them I seem, the less I can buy into them. They've become my latest guilty pleasure, though. I've even cooked up some of my own, though I'm not going to bother to even try to find a shred of evidence in their support; however, they certainly don't sound much crazier than all the other conspiracy theories, and that's the only thing I'll say in their defense. On a more serious note, I'm interviewing Captain Don Larsen of the National Guard, a Wiccan and former military chaplain. We spoke about his struggle to become the first Wiccan military chaplain in a earlier episode. Today, however, Captain Larsen shares some of his experiences while stationed in Iraq, giving us some insights into the spiritual needs of those who are stationed in combat situations.

Today, Betsy and Jeva share their thoughts on Yule. Not all Pagans celebrate Yule, and not all family members in Pagan households do, either. Was America intended to be a "Christian" nation? Our Founding Fathers didn't exactly see eye to eye in that matter. Turns out that Americans, contrary to what the right-wingers keep saying, were just as intellectually diverse as they are today. And just what is the stance of the Lance and Graal Crew on Christianity? Do we hate it? Absolutely not. But we do distinguish between Christianity and the excesses of religious fundamentalism of any sort.

He and Ivy shares their thoughts. Ever try to contact a minor in the witchvox contacts? No success? Well, that's just how it is supposed to be. Witchvox co-founder Fritz Jung explains the plight of Pagan youngsters who are sick and tired of being "mentored" by "elders" who just won't take "no" for an answer and why adults have been banned from contacting minors many years ago.
