Angela has a great post up and some amazing pictures of the first pentacles on headstones in Arlington Cemetery. How amazing to see the symbol of my religion on my coreligionists' headstones.
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 . . . ."

So sad that it has to come about in such a way. But Ben Franklin is sleeping more soundly.
Congratulations, Goddess. I'm very happy for all of you and for all of us.
