The Issue
In light of the Department of Defense’s recent decision to remove Paganism from its list of recognized religions, I am calling upon every Witch, every Pagan, every Practitioner of the old ways to the new ways to stand together and make our voices heard. This petition is not just a plea, it is a declaration that our First Amendment rights matter, that our spiritual paths are valid, and that no institution has the authority to erase or delegitimize our faith. What has been done is wrongful, harmful, and deeply dismissive of the countless service members who walk the Pagan path with honor. This petition is for all of us. For every Witch who has ever been told to hide, for every Pagan who has ever been pushed into the shadows. We rise now as one, united in purpose, refusing to let this undoing stand. We are the witches they couldn’t burn, and we will not be silenced, erased, or shamed. We claim our right to be Pagan, our right to be Witches, and our right to exist openly, proudly, and without fear. Let us stand together and make this right.
Many pagans/witches has fought and still fight for our country and now they can't have it recognized in the military... we should fight for them as they fought for us!
