I am in the middle of catching up on a lot of things, that I didn’t really realize were falling behind (okay, so self-imposed deadlines were missed, still I feel bad) and I have some files to combine for WriYe…<\/p>\n

Anyway, I missed posting a couple of things yesterday. One is uber-important, the other is just kind of interesting. Pretty, but only just interesting. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

First – The Hammer Project<\/a>. Followers of the Asatru beliefs who serve in the American military aren’t allowed their symbol of religion on their headstones. It was quite some struggle (including a court battle) to get the military to allow the pentacle on a pagan soldier’s plaque, and these folks are just starting out. As I posted info on the fight closer to my belief system, I’m posting for the Astruar as well. <\/p>\n

Snagged from Bob’s blog:<\/p>\n

Please take a moment to go to the Asatru Military Family Support Program’s web site to sign our petition asking the Department of Veterans Affairs to authorize Thor’s Hammer on headstones for veterans of the Asatru Faith.<\/p>\n

It’s easy! Go to http:\/\/hammerproject.org<\/a> …then click on “Sign Petition” on the navigation bar…then at the bottom of the page that comes up, hit “Sign Petition!”<\/p>\n

Feel free to leave comments, especially if you are a veteran!<\/p>\n

Please pass this on to everyone you know – regardless of religion, politics, pro- or anti-war! – who might sign it.<\/p>\n

Oh – enjoy the rest of the site while you’re there, too!<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

Secondly, yesterday I was contacted by a webring owner who let me know she was taking my site (Sacred Triskele) out of a webring because I didn’t have the right coding in place. I was so excited after I received that email – the webring was the one I started years ago – Sprites Pagan Kids – and I’d offered it to other folks in the ring during the winter. Then I just simply put it up for adoption. This wonderful lady finally adopted it, and was cleaning it up. \ud83d\ude42 So, I let her know I’d fix the site (if I could) and thanks and congrats, and all that.<\/p>\n

Then I got over there and saw the state of the site, and…well, I relaxed last night by fixing it up to celebrate ten years of that site being online in one form or another. So, if you have time and are remotely interested… pop over to Sacred Triskele<\/a> and take a peek. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Now, off to combine all my writings for the last two months.. eeep!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
