Modern Day Persecution of Pagans/Witches
While witches in most countries are not burned at the steak or imprisoned anymore we are still looked upon as being evil by a whole lot of societies other religions/ spiritual paths.
How many of you have had people look down upon you for being a Pagan/Witch? This morning I was told by one of my middle son’s sisters I could not talk to her girls because of my “life style”. I did text back explaining the biggest difference in their lifestyle and mine was that I take full responsibility for my actions and/or words that have harmed others in some way than it is up to me to ask the person directly if they can forgive me for it instead doing a some type of a wrong to a person or their family (up to and including murder) than ask a God to forgive my sin and not have to do anything else.
I do not impose my spiritual beliefs onto others as quite a few Christian churches do today and have definitely done so in the past 2022 years give or take a few. For about the last 15 years if people from a Christian church knocks on my door to talk to me about the faith I calmly tell them I will listen to you about what you believe providing you listen to what I believe in spiritually. So far out of dozens of these door to door religious sales persons I have had only 1 that was willing to listen to me. I count that as a win since they walked away with a better understanding of Paganism and our beliefs.
Are we wrong for not going into a building once a week or more to worship a God? Are we wrong for taking full responsibility for things we may say or do and asking forgiveness from that person instead of believing we can do as we please, ask a God for forgiveness and that is the end of it?
In reality every religion that does not worship Jesus Christ is in the modern definition Pagan. I wonder how many people think about that or the fact that all religions worldwide started with Pagan beliefs? How many Christians know that their religious holidays are when they are is based on when pagan Sabbats fall? Do non-pagans ever look at the fact that no major wars have ever been fought over trying to convert people to becoming a pagan? Do you feel it is unfair that for safety reasons we should not leave our pentacle outside of our shirt while, mostly Christians and Jewish people, wear a cross, Star of David, etc out where everyone can see it? I do not always where one of my pentacle as Lord Beltane, who is a non-practing Christian, has bought me necklaces with the Triple Goddes symbol and other ones that are Pagan in nature.
If this post reads as if I am upset it is because I am for once again being persecuted for my spiritual beliefs. Is it any wonder why most witches/pagans stay in the broom closet all of their lives? I will continue staying out of it to let people see that a witch/pagan is just like everyone else.
I think it is time for me to get off my soap box but I am sure this topic will be written about again. Thanks to Dreamer, our big mixed breed dog, who kept waking me up throughout the night until before 5:00 AM CDT when I got up took all our fur kids out and gave them a drink. So, I ambgoing to lay back down and try to get some more sleep before I do today’s posts.
(One Person’s View Point) A Look at Today’s USA Military’s Views on Wicca and Other Pagan Paths
Today’s Military Views on Wicca US Army Chaplain’s Manual from wicca.com

WICCA
OTHER NAMES BY WHICH KNOWN:
Witchcraft; Goddess worshippers; Neo-Paganism, Paganism, Norse (or any other ethnic designation) Earth Religion, Old Religion, Druidism, Shamanism.
Note: All of these groups have some basic similarities and many surface differences of expression with Wicca.
LEADERSHIP:
No central leadership. The Covenant of the Goddess annually elects a First Officer and there is a constitutional limit of two consecutive terms, but in practice officers have almost always served for one year only. In 1991, there are two Co-First Officers, Phoenix Whitebirch and Brandy Williams.
Note: This Covenant does not govern any Coven other than its’ own.
MEMBERSHIP:
Because of the complete autonomy of covens, this cannot be determined. There are an estimated of 50,000 Wiccans in the United States.
Hernes note: This number is now substantially higher and estimated at over 200,000 (now over 1.5 million in 2020). Wicca is currently the fastest growing spiritual path in the U.S.
HISTORICAL ORIGIN:
Wicca is a reconstruction of the Nature worship of tribal Europe, strongly influenced by the Living Nature worship traditions of tribal peoples in other parts of the world.
The works of such early twentieth century writers as Margaret Murray, Robert Graves and Gerald B. Gardner began the renewal of interest in the Old Religion. After the repeal of the anti-Witchcraft laws in Britain in 1951, Gardner publicly declared himself a Witch and began to gather a group of students and worshipers.
In 1962, two of his students, Raymond and Rosemary Buckland (religious names: Lady Rowen and Robat), emigrated to the United States and began teaching Gardnerian Witchcraft here. At the same time, other groups of people became interested through reading books by Gardner and others. Many covens were spontaneously formed, using rituals created from a combination of research and individual inspiration. These self-created covens are today regarded as just as valid as those who can trace a “lineage” of teaching back to England.
In 1975, a very diverse group of covens who wanted to secure the legal protections and benefits of church status formed Covenant of the Goddess (CoG), which is incorporated in the State of California and recognized by the Internal Revenue Service. CoG does not represent all, or even a majority of Wiccans. A coven or an individual need not be affiliated with CoG in order to validly practice the religion. But CoG is the largest single public Wiccan organization, and it is cross-Traditional (i.e. non-denominational).
BASIC BELIEFS:
Wiccans worship the sacred as immanent in Nature, often personified as Mother Earth and Father Sky. As polytheists, they may use many other names for Deity. Individuals will often choose Goddesses or Gods from any of the world’s pantheons whose stories are particularly inspiring and use those Deities as a focus for personal devotions.
Similarly, covens will use particular Deity names as a group focus, and these are often held secret by the groups. It is very important to be aware that Wiccans do not in any way worship or believe in “Satan,” “the Devil,” or any similar entities. They point out that “Satan” is a symbol of rebellion against and inversion of the Christian and Jewish traditions.
Wiccans do not revile the Bible. They simply regard it as one among many of the world’s mythic systems, less applicable than some to their core values, but still deserving just as much respect as any of the others. Most Wiccan groups also practice magic, by which they mean the direction and use of “psychic energy,” those natural but invisible forces which surround all living things. Some members spell the word “magick,” to distinguish it from sleight of hand entertainments.
Wiccans employ such means as dance, chant, creative visualization and hypnosis to focus and direct psychic energy for the purpose of healing, protecting and aiding members in various endeavors. Such assistance is also extended to non-members upon request.
Many, but not all, Wiccans believe in reincarnation. Some take this as a literal description of what happens to people when they die. For others, it is a symbolic model that helps them deal with the cycles and changes within this life. Neither Reincarnation nor any other literal belief can be used as a test of an individual’s validity as a member of the Old Religion.
Most groups have a handwritten collection of rituals and lore, known as a Book of Shadows. Part of the religious education of a new member will be to hand copy this book for him or herself. Over they years, as inspiration provides, new material will be added. Normally, access to these books is limited to initiated members of the religion.
PRACTICES AND BEHAVIORAL STANDARDS:
The core ethical statement of Wicca, called the “Wiccan Rede” states “an it harm none, do what you will.” The rede fulfills the same function as does the “Golden Rule” for Jews and Christians; all other ethical teachings are considered to be elaborations and applications of the Rede. It is a statement of situational ethics, emphasizing at once the individual’s responsibility to avoid harm to others and the widest range of personal autonomy in “victimless” activities. Wicca has been described as having a “high-choice” ethic.
Because of the basic Nature orientation of the religion, many Wiccans will regard all living things as Sacred, and show a special concern for ecological issues. For this reason, individual conscience will lead some to take a pacifist position. Some are vegetarians. Others will feel that, as Nature’s Way includes self-defense, they should participate in wars that they conscientiously consider to be just. The religion does not dictate either position, but requires each member to thoughtfully and meditatively examine her or his own conscience and to live by it. Social forces generally do not yet allow Witches to publicly declare their religious faith without fear of reprisals such as loss of job, child custody challenges, ridicule, etc. Prejudice against Wiccans is the result of public confusion between Witchcraft and Satanism. Wiccans in the military, especially those who may be posted in countries perceived to be particularly intolerant, will often have their dog tags read “No Religious Preference.” Concealment is a traditional Wiccan defense against persecution, so non-denominational dog tags should not contravene a member’s request for religious services.
Wiccans celebrate eight festivals, called “Sabbats,” as a means of attunement to the seasonal rhythms of Nature. These are January 31 (Called Oimelc, Brigit, or February Eve), March 21 (Ostara or Spring Equinox), April 30 (Beltane or May Eve), June 22 (Midsummer, Litha or Summer Solstice), July 31 (Lunasa or Lammas), September 21 (Harvest, Mabon or Autumn Equinox), October 31 (Samhain, Sowyn or Hallows), and December 21 (Yule or Winter Solstice.)
Some groups find meetings within a few days of those dates to be acceptable, others require the precise date. In addition, most groups will meet for worship at each Full Moon, and many will also meet on the New Moon.
Meetings for religious study will often be scheduled at any time convenient to the members, and rituals can be scheduled whenever there is a need (i.e. for a healing). Ritual jewelry is particularly important to many Wiccans. In addition to being a symbol of religious dedication, these talismans are often blessed by the coven back home and felt to carry the coven’s protective and healing energy.
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE:
Most Wiccans meet with a coven, a small group of people. Each coven is autonomous. Most are headed by a High Priestess, often with the assistance of a High Priest. Some are headed by a High Priestess or High Priest without a partner, and some regard themselves as a gathering of equals. Covens can be of mixed gender, or all female or male, depending on the preferences of the members. Every initiate is considered to be a priestess or priest.
Most covens are small. Thirteen is the traditional maximum number of members, although not an absolute limit. At that size covens form a close bond, so Wiccans in the military are likely to maintain a strong affiliation with their covens back home. There are many distinct “Traditions” of Wicca, just as there are many denominations within Christianity.
The spectrum of Wiccan practice can be described as ranging from “traditional” to “eclectic,” with Traditions, covens and individuals fitting anywhere within that range. A typical difference would be that more traditional groups would tend to follow a set liturgy, whereas eclectic groups would emphasize immediate inspiration in worship.
These distinctions are not particularly important to the military chaplain, since it is unlikely that enough members of any one Tradition would be at the same base. Worship circles at military facilities are likely to be ad-hoc cross-Traditional groups, working out compromise styles of worship for themselves and constantly adapting them to a changing membership.
Therefore, the lack of strict adherence to the patterns of any one Tradition is not an indicator of invalidity. While many Wiccans meet in a coven, there are also a number of solitairies. These are individuals who choose to practice their faith alone. The may have been initiated in a coven or self initiated. They will join with other Wiccans to celebrate the festivals or to attend the various regional events organized by the larger community.
ROLE OF MINISTERS:
Within a traditional coven, the High Priestess, usually assisted by her High Priest, serves both as leader in the rituals and as teacher and counselor for coven members and unaffiliated Pagans. Eclectic covens tend to share leadership more equally.
WORSHIP:
Wiccans usually worship in groups. Individuals who are currently not affiliated with a coven, or are away from their home coven, may choose to worship privately or may form ad-hoc groups to mark religious occasions. Non-participating observers are not generally welcome at Wiccan rituals.
Some, but not all, Wiccan covens worship in the nude (skyclad) as a sign of attunement with Nature.
Most, but not all, Wiccan covens bless and share a cup of wine as part of the ritual. Almost all Wiccans use an individual ritual knife (an “athame”) to focus and direct personal energy. Covens often also have ritual swords to direct the energy of the group. These tools, like all other ritual tools, are highly personal and should never leave the possession of the owner.
Other commonly used ritual tools include a bowl of water, a bowl of salt, a censer with incense, a disk with symbols engraved on it (a “pentacle”), statues or artwork representing the Goddess and God, and candles. Most groups will bless and share bread or cookies along with the wine. All of these items are used in individual, private worship as well as in congregate rituals.
DIETARY LAWS OR RESTRICTIONS:
None.
FUNERAL AND BURIAL REQUIREMENTS:
None. Recognition of the death of a member takes place within the coven, apart from the body of the deceased. Ritual tools, materials, or writings found among the effects of the deceased should be returned to their home coven (typically a member will designate a person to whom ritual materials should be sent). It is desirable for a Wiccan priest or priestess to be present at the time of death, but not strictly necessary. If not possible, the best assistance would be to make the member as comfortable as possible, listen to whatever they have to say, honor any possible requests, and otherwise leave them as quiet and private as possible. (Sind Note Pagans can now have a pentagram on their headstone in any official USA military cemetary)
MEDICAL TREATMENT:
No medical restrictions. Wiccans generally believe in the efficacy of spiritual or psychic healing when done in tandem with standard medical treatment. Therefore, at the request of the patient, other Wiccan personnel should be allowed visiting privileges as though they were immediate family, including access to Intensive Care Units. Most Wiccans believe that healing energy can be sent from great distances, so, if possible, in the case of any serious medical condition, the member’s home coven should be notified.
OTHER:
With respect to attitude toward military service, Wiccans range from career military personnel to conscientious objectors. Wiccans do not proselytize and generally resent those who do. They believe that no one Path to the Sacred is right for all people, and see their own religious pattern as only one among many that are equally worthy. Wiccans respect all religions that foster honor and compassion in their adherents, and expect the same respect. Members are encouraged to learn about all faiths, and are permitted to attend the services of other religions, should they desire to do so.

A Truth Spell Amulet
(YOU CAN COPY AND PASTE ANY SPELLS POSTED TO A DOCUMENT TO PRINT AND/OR SAVE ON YOUR COMPUTER FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY)
A Truth Spell Amulet
For those who would rather create an amulet to carry, this spell is for you! In this spell, we aim to create an amulet to protect us from dishonesty and lies. This spell can be done at any time, but a Full Moon is the best phase if you work with the moon phases.
You will need:
a black candle: to banish lies and negativity
a small object: this will be your amulet, so choose something practical for you
salt: to absorb negativity
juniper: to banish lies and negative energy
lavender: to promote peaceful energy and truth
Spells
- Cleanse yourself and your space in your preferred method.
- If you cast a circle, now is the time to do so.
- Place your object onto the working space in front of you. You can use a plate for easier cleanup of the herbs when you are done. Light your black candle.
- One by one, sprinkle the salt and herbs over your object. As you sprinkle the object with your ingredients, visualize the object infusing with the energy and correspondences of each ingredient.
- Hold your hands over the object, palms down, and close your eyes. Visualize the object as an amulet, doing its job and protecting you from lies and dishonesty. Feel how it makes you feel to use it – protected, safe, calm.
- Hold this visualization in your mind and speak these words:
With this chant I do create,
An amulet to keep me safe.
Only truth and goodness here,
Banish lies and banish fear.
- Let the candle burn all the way down before removing the object from your working space.
- Place your newly created amulet in a place where it can do its best work. This will depend on the object you used, but some ideas include on your person (for jewelry or kept in your pocket), at your front door, or on your desk at work.
- Once a month or as needed, repeat the spell to refresh the energy of your amulet, cleansing it beforehand and thanking it for keeping you protected.
Notes: If your object is too big or not safe to sprinkle the ingredients onto, you can instead create a circle around the objects. If you are using a larger candle that will not burn completely in one spell, extinguish it when you are finished and use it later to recharge your amulet. Choosing an item with reflective properties, such as a mirror or a different type of metal, can give the truth spell a boost and reflect the person’s energy back to them.

June 6, 2025 Current Southern Hemisphere/Tomorrow’s Northern Hemisphere Moon Phase
Source: nineplanets.org
The current moon phase for June 6th, 2025 is the Waxing Gibbous phase.
On this day, the moon is 10.78 days old and 81.8% illuminated with a tilt of 148.998°. The approximate distance from Earth to the moon is 405,250.82 km and the moon sign is Libra.
The Moon phase for June 6th, 2025 is a Waxing Gibbous phase. This is the phase where the moon is more than 50% illuminated but has not yet reached 100% illumination (which would be a Full Moon).
In the Northern Hemisphere, the right side will be illuminated, and in the Southern hemisphere it’ll be the left side that is illuminated.
The Waxing Gibbous phase, like all moon phases, will last for just over 7 days. The actual length will vary because of the elliptical shaped orbit of the moon. During this Waxing Gibbous phase the moon will rise in the east in the mid- to late-afternoon and will be high in the eastern sky at sunset.
Assuming it’s a clear night, the Waxing Gibbous moon will then be visible through most of the night before setting just before sunrise.
Fun fact: the word Gibbous was first used in the 14th century and comes from the latin word gibbosus which means humpbacked.

Positive Traits: Searching for experience and trying to widen their horizon is the law these natives respect. This is what triggers their vivacity and positivity. They are also caring and kind hearted with their peers but only when their own empathic and social needs are being met. They are both polite and blunt and seem to adapt between these two quite easily but not necessarily in the way that is desired of them.
Negative Traits: These are some of the most energetic natives and they are rapid to react and enter in all kinds of controversies just for the sake of the controversy.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Easily distracted and probably unable to come up with a logic plan, this is you today but I wouldn’t necessarily jump to a conclusion because the cause to this might actually be a happy one.
The natives who are going to experience this temporary loss of mind will probably also experience some butterflies in their stomachs as they are meeting someone new.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You are focusing too much on the behavior of your partner and are instead missing out on the whole picture.
There are a lot of telltale signs that you can connect, but only if you leave all prejudice aside. There are also considerations in regard to you finding explanations for everything or on the contrary, suspecting every move.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This Thursday will be all about connecting the right people at the right time. It will be more than coordinating or being part of the group and you will find that it is easy to motivate them to work but a lot more difficult to keep their morale up.
And the best part of the day is that you will learn a lot while trying to empathize with them.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
A prosperous Thursday ahead and with a bit of attention and care to what others are saying and doing, you will manage to accomplish more today than you have, the other three days altogether.
Some natives are also prompted towards taking all sorts of classes, bettering themselves in their area of expertise, or, who knows, perhaps changing their path entirely.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A day of financial opportunity, not necessarily connected to your current work place. But this doesn’t mean that you are immediately allowed to burn your bridges with people from work.
Leave room for connections because you never know what might come ahead. Also, it would be a shame to ruin some of those friendships.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Surprising events for the day and maybe for those around you but for you, to some extent, you knew that this was coming.
The only confusion you had was in regard to when and how this is going to happen. The good news is that something you hear today is going to help you revive a relationship at home, perhaps with a sibling or cousin.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This Thursday will benefit from a harmonious beginning but it depends on you how it will continue. The stars seem to move your focus towards your relationship and towards nice matters of the house but you are not very keen to play the good role.
You are instead interested in doing something fun and getting some excitement out of the day.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
You are putting your love life first and although some might say this is risky and completely reckless of your side, at least you know how you feel and are trying to pursue that.
And imagine, even if you are wrong, what is the worst that can happen. You will have to keep up with some consequences of actions you did in your best interest.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are generating new ideas for work and at times you feel as if you are riding a high wave. This might also put you in contact with some important people.
But there is also shade to this success and it mostly refers to those moments when you feel completely down and also feel as if others are using you. It seems that you dwell between the two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Your partner can bring a lot of sunshine in your life but you also need to let them. This means to take it easier with the extra hours at work and also take a closer look to your significant other’s needs.
Upon an emotional and sensible analysis, you will be surprised to realize how much they are investing and at times, how little you are giving back.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You are chasing the control on some kind of project or group at work and presumably, you are willing to fight everyone for that.
The question is now, how far would you go. This is indeed a high stake but as important is the friendship you have with some of the people in your office, something you might risk with your current plans.
You can also read this special Aquarius Daily Horoscope.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
The current disposition is showcasing your wits and although you should be proud of that said accomplishment of yours, you are searching for somewhere to hide.
You are not very good in the spotlight and this is known, but from that to now accepting the recognition for something you did right, is a long way.
