Pagans at the Inauguration
Wednesday January 7, 2009
Wondering why you haven't gotten your engraved invitation yet to see Barack Obama inaugurated? Me too... it must have gotten lost in the mail. Anyway, if you're interested in hanging out in DC with some other Pagans, then you've got a place to go. The Pagan Religious Rights Now group is organizing a rally and ritual to be held at the Jefferson Memorial on January 19. The group's website says, "The Ritual of Unity and Blessing is organized by a triumvirate of native Washingtonians, one of whom is the great-granddaughter of slaves, one the great-granddaughter of slave owners, and one the daughter of a populist New Deal Congressman. The ceremony will begin promptly at 2pm with a Witches’ Broom Dance, intended to cleanse Washington of the malfeasance, deceit and partisanship of the last eight years." Sounds like fun, but if you can't make it, never fear. You can organize a similar ritual in your own town!

OH my,,,,I guess My Dog must of ate it,,,LOL.
I have a friend (who IS pagan) who actually got one! She sent a photo of it! Now I feel left out! Waaahhhhh!! sniffle.
I was looking forward to the Witch’s Broom Dance. But my invite never made it, lol
I would love to be there…However, I have a responsibility to my employer. I will keep the event in my thoughts and work my fingers over a nickel that I can keep discreetly in my pocket. I chose the nickel because of its monetary properties and the Jefferson Memorial is on the back. I will be there in spirit. If you haven’t followed the link; The website is well written and contains great history and lore. Definately worth checking out!
