URGENT CALL for Additional Veteran Markers with Pentacles
Tell others: Post to e-lists, blogs, and elsewhere.

If you know of a deceased Wiccan/Pagan veteran in need of a VA-issued
headstone, marker, or plaque with the Pentacle symbol, and would like
assistance with expedited production of it, please contact Rev. Selena Fox
of Circle Sanctuary by Wednesday, MAY 16, 2007 for more details.

email: liberty@circlesanctuary.org
phone: (608) 924-2216 (leave message)

Under the terms of the settlement agreement of the federal lawsuit, Circle
Sanctuary vs. Nicholson, negotiated by Americans United for Separation of
Church and State with attorneys representing the US Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA), those in need of a VA-issued memorial grave marker with
Pentacle to honor a deceased Wiccan/Pagan veteran can get expedited
treatment for marker production, if the completed marker application (VA
form 40-1330) is submitted to the VA by the next of kin within 30 days of
the settlement signing, which was on April 20.

After May 20, applications for veteran grave markers with Pentacles can
still be submitted to the VA, but the production of those markers will
revert to the customary timeframe, which usually takes one to two months.

Rev. Selena Fox, high priestess of Circle Sanctuary, is offering assistance
to families of deceased Wiccan/Pagan veterans in need of VA-issued grave
markers with the Pentacle. She is working directly with VA staff on
requests.

Selena presently knows of twelve requests, five of which have already been
fulfilled! As of May 1, two markers with Pentacles are at Circle Sanctuary
in Wisconsin and two are at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. As of
May 2, one is at a cemetery in Tennessee. Other applications and markers
are in process.

A copy of the VA's marker application, Form 40-1330, is on-line at the VA
website, along with other information:

The Pentacle is emblem #37 on the VA's list of emblems of belief that can be
included on federal government-issued markers, headstones, & plaques:

Circle Sanctuary is among the many churches and religious communities
responding with spiritual support in the wake of the tragedy of shooting
massacre at Virginia Tech University yesterday.  Selena Fox, high priestess
of Circle Sanctuary and a native Virginian, already has begun networking
support by phone and email with some Circle Network members in Virginia in
the Blacksburg and Roanoke areas.

Wiccans, Druids, and other Pagans who have been personally impacted by this
tragedy and in need of counseling and/or other spiritual support with a
Pagan orientation should contact the Circle Sanctuary church office as soon
as possible.  Circle Sanctuary has put together an emergency response team
of several of our ministers with grief counseling skills who are available
to do counseling and other support by telephone.  Email:
healing@circlesanctuary.org or call: (608) 924-2216.  Include your name,
phone number, and email address and a description of your needs.

Pagan groups and healers in the Blacksburg, Virginia area and vicinity who
are available to help Pagans on the Virginia Tech campus and elsewhere in
the area in need should contact Selena: selena@circlesanctuary.org right
away.  Include a phone number, email, and information about what kind of
help you can offer.  If you are doing any memorial circles and healing
rituals, please mention this.

Tonight, Selena will be facilitating a healing meditation in support of
those impacted by the Virginia Tech tragedy as part of a New Moon Circle
tonight at Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve near Barneveld, Wisconsin,
beginning at 7 pm central time, to coincide with the candlelight vigil on
the Virginia Tech campus.  A Virginia Tech community healing altar has been
set up in the Circle Sanctuary Temple Room.  Email or fax us photos, words
of healing, names and contact info for those in need that you know to be
placed on this altar.

Please help us network support for Pagans in need by forwarding this email
to lists, blogs, websites, and individuals you know who can help us get the
word out.  Thanks!
