Other Important Websites:

The Witches' Voice is quite possibly THE best site on the web that's dedicated to educating folks about Wicca, Witchcraft, and Paganism in general. Wren Walker, Fritz Jung, Peg Aloi, and all of those who write the articles do an excellent job and I highly recommend this site.

The Ontario Consultants for Religious Tolerance is a fantastic group who educates the public about many different religious beliefs and systems of ethics ("from Asatru to Zorastrianism.") They've also written excellent articles concerning "hot topics" such as homosexuality, abortion, women in the clergy, and inter-faith marriage. I can't say enough about these great people and their great website. Definitely check them out.

Connecting Pagans to each other through the World Wide Web since 1998. A Mystickal Grove is an excellent resource for networking, educating the public about Paganism, exploring various Pagan websites, etc. It even has a Book of Shadows for you spell/ritual buffs out there!

The Open Hearth Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit corporation seeking to provide resources for Pagans of all paths.

I think that the name says it all. This on-line shop has EVERYTHING!

Whispered Prayers is an on-line shop that caters to the ritual and magickal needs of Pagans. They've a wide array of candles, herbs, spell kits, etc. Their prices are great, too!
For those of you who are looking for information on spells and rituals, Whispered Prayers has its own Book of Shadows.

The Rape Abuse Incest National Network was co-founded by Tori Amos due to the overwhelming response from fans after listening to "Me and a Gun," a haunting, heartbreaking song about Amos's own rape. Speaking from personal experience, RAINN has helped me immensely and has helped others who've dealt with this form of trauma. If you're a survivor of rape, incest, or abuse of any kind, please check out this website and/or call the hotline number provided above.

Every Pagan, nay, everybody regardless of religion should read up on this case. It's proof positive that there is still religious bigotry in a nation that is supposedly "the land of the free." The persecution of Witches continues to this very day! I also urge you to watch "Paradise Lost," the wonderful documentary made about this case.

Call me a little self-righteous and pretentious, but I like this page! It's self-explanitory, don't you think?

If you live in Lowell, MA or in any of its neighboring towns and you've been raped, assaulted (physically, sexually, etc.), molested, or you're in an abusive relationship, these are the folks to get in contact with. They've a 24-hour hotline, groups for survivors of rape/sexual abuse/domestic violence/etc, and one-on-one counseling. If you feel the need to talk to someone, do what I did. I simply strolled into their office and said, "I need help." They're an awesome group of people and they'll definitely help you get back on your feet after going through such traumatic experiences. You've nothing to lose if you get in touch with them. I truly respect the work that they do and thank them for everything they've done for me. :o)

I think that the name speaks for itself, don't you think?

Allow me to pose a question to you, my friend. Why must we live in a world in which women (young, old, rich, poor, middle-class, black, white, Latina, American Indian, Asian, etc.) have to keep a hypervigilant eye whenever they go: to school, to work, to the mall, or even to their own homes? We have been raped harrassed, assaulted, abused, oppressed-you name it. Throughout the world, we are called sinful, whores, lazy, slaves, dirty, and objects. THIS MUST STOP!!!
Hence, I've decided to humbly honor the founders of V-Day. These people have envisioned a world free of violence and oppression and they've strived to attain this goal. The fight isn't an easy one, but it's definitely worth supporting.

As much as some people will detest my adding a link for Rock 4 Choice, I feel that it is necessary to inform people about any anti-abortion (read: anti-choice) bills that may be sneaking their way through Congress as we speak. If you don't agree with abortion, then that's okay. I simply ask that you respect the rights of women who choose to terminate pregnancy, for whatever their reasons are.

Rock 4 Choice was founded in 1991 by the members of L7 (good band, by the way) in order to preserve the right of women to take control of their bodies and, thus, their lives. Some artists that support this organization have come to include Pearl Jam, Paula Cole, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine (thank you, guys!), Melissa Ethridge, Bikini Kill, and many, many more.

So, the bygone days of back alley abortions are over, right? Perhaps. Unless, of course, you live in a state that requires parental consent prior to having an abortion or you lack the financial capability to afford having an abortion in a sanitary environment because of the lack of federal money given to women's health clinics. Don't forget that some folks in our government yearn for the day when Roe v. Wade will be reversed. Of course, we CAN stop this before it happens. Not only will you help preserve a woman's right to choose whether or not to terminate her pregnancy; you will also save lives in the process. Back alley abortions were (and still are) notorious for their unsanitary environments, filthy "surgical" instruments, and the high risk of death during the procedure. So, write to your Senator and ask him or her to protect the Roe v. Wade ruling. It can literally save lives.

I believe that the Goddess created people of various sexual orientations in order to prevent a boring world. ;o) EVERYONE, regardless of sexual orientation, is worthy of respect, dignity, and love. The GLBT community is NOT composed of freaks, perverts, or anything else that would make one think that non-straight people are "sinful" or just plain "weird." If you think that you may be gay, lesbian, etc., please check out this page. It will definitely remind you that you are not alone in this world.

Since Mao Tse-Tung's takeover of Tibet, many, many people have died for the beliefs they hold. Interestingly enough, Communism is anti-imperialist. One wonders what Tse-Tung was thinking. Nevertheless, the people of Tibet have the unalienable right to live their lives in peace and in dignity. Let's enable them to procure that right.

For more information on the crisis in Tibet and the story of the Panchen Lama, check out this website and the previous website.

Over 500 years ago, the lives of the indigenous peoples of Mexico were turned upside down due to European conquest. As a result, the indigenous peoples of various tribes were-and still are-considered second-class citizens. On January 1st in 1994, the Zapatistas came into the forefront and demanded that the people be allowed to live their lives in dignity. Racism, classism, sexism, and neoliberalism are the culprits.
You thought that NAFTA was a great idea? Think again: people work in sweatshops in order to be paid wages far below that which could sustain anyone. The ejidos (communal lands) have soil that is not fit for farming. Women are denied the means for birth control. So, the EZLN (Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional) are striving to right the wrongs that were committed so many years ago.

Did you know that we have a political prisoner right here in the good ol' U.S. of A? In 1975, Leonard Peltier-poet, artist, and activist for the American Indian Movement-was charged and convicted of the murder of two FBI agents who were involved in the shoot-out on the Jumping Bull Ranch. There has, however, been NO EVIDENCE THAT POINTS THE MR. PELTIER'S INVOLVEMENT IN THE MURDERS! The judges who presided over this federal court case now admit that they do not know who really killed those two agents! The FBI has protested any possibilty for the freedom of Leonard Peltier. Talk about a group of pathological liars! Please write check out the resources on this website and help free Leonard Peltier.

In 1981, an Afrikan-American man by the name of Mumia Abu-Jamal was sentenced to death by lethal injection by the murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner. Of course, the one thing that was used against Mumia (aside from his race) was the fact that he was a member of the Black Panther Party. We all know how the media prtrayed the Black Panthers: violent, thoughless, racist radicals. Did you know that they educated the people and had free breakfast programs for children?
Due to his connections with this group, Mumia was under survaillance by the FBI's favorite child: COINTELPRO (COunter INTELligence PROgram.) After be stalked by the U.S. government, Mumia was near the shooting of Officer Faulkner. To make a long story short, Mumia was tried and convicted of the murder. This is strange since there was no evidence that the bullet that killed Faulkner came from Mumia's gun. The forensics team did not test for gunpowder on Mumia fingers or gun. So, there was no evidence that he committed this crime. In fact, witnesses said that they witness a man running from the scene. Mumia could not have done this because he was shot too!
So, I suggest checking out this website for more details on this case.
