I know this could be a unpopuler subject, but I do politics for a living and I am also a Priest in Wicca and have combined both for years. It came in handy a few years ago when I was asked to be an advisor to help push the V.A. to accept the pentacle as a legitimate symbol for our veterans who wanted to have it on their Government headstones. It was a very interesting fight, but we won, and ever since Wicca is now literally accepted in stone. Like the Civil rights movement,and the Gay movement I believe it is now time for Pagans to get more involved in politics. Run for office, organize around issues important to you, keep informed. We are ready to start making a splash. Of course, we should start slow, instead of running for President we should run for County commisioner. Once people see that you can do the job, they are much less concerned about what religion you are. The lower offices also have the advantage of being pretty low under the radar, and they are excellent as a training ground for higher, more profile offices. In my area we are training pagans as we speak to learn how government works, and how to run for public office. We have the support of many elders who agree now is the time to begin. What do you think?
