I am so glad that the VA decided to allow the pagan members of the military who died in service this honor of having their religion portrayed on their tombstones. I personally know someone whose spouse tried for 4 years to get the pentacle on her husband's tombstone. She died about a year ago. She was a very powerful person in the pagan community. I spoke with her about this subject about a month before she died. Their children will be very happy to hear the news though.
Finally it is about damn time that these service people will be acknowledged.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."

You got that right.

I saw that and came right over to shake your hand. Sanity is returning everywhere, thank the goddess.
This is wonderful damn news! I'm so happy.
