Care Packages for Pagan Military
Proclaimed by: Moon Panther - A WitchVox Sponsor
Proclaimed from: Bisbee, Georgia
Proclamation...
UPDATE April 2, 2009**
An updated list will soon be posted on the www.pagansunited.com site. There are still many pagan soldiers in need of supplies at their various locations. I've been amazed at the support for our Troops over the last 5/6 years and thank each and everyone that has contacted me wanting to help.
Sadly, however, our job is not finished. We will have many more troops that will need support from the Pagan Community in the years ahead. Lets keep up the momentum and make sure that all our Pagan Troops have what they need to study, learn, and practice their path while deployed.
Being away from home for so long, away from family, friends, and their home based groups or Covens makes a stressful time even harder on them. With our donations of both Pagan and non Pagan items allows them a little peace in their chaotic lives.
So it is my wish and the goal of Pagans United to keep those packages going until each and everyone of our Pagan brothers and sisters take the freedom bird home.
If there are any groups stationed in Afghanistan or Iraq that need supplies and support, please do not hesitate to contact me so that I can add your circle to our list.
Blessed Be and Stay Safe,
Laura Roberts
ATTN: Pagan Soldiers Need Your Assistance!
On March 20th, 2007, SGT Keith Roberts, cofounder of Pagans United,
was deployed as part of the troop surge to Baghdad, Iraq. We've
recently received word from Keith and he has asked that the Pagan
community consider sending care packages, letters and cards to bolster
the spirits of the troops currently stationed in Iraq.
Here is what he had to say about a group of Pagans where he is stationed:
"...just on my base that I saw at a pagan Circle here were 20 of our
bravest
attending. Interesting watching 20 pagans together for a Circle ...
all with guns and ammo heh heh heh. But they are in need friends.
Alot of them dont have access to basic ritual tools or items so any
donations would be of help. That probably can be coordinated through
Laura as she knows the group I belong too. Basic things like
candles, incense, herbs (big one) easy to come by stones, any base
line practicioner books ... you get the idea. Its a small price to
pay to keep our pagan soldiers in a spiritual comfort zone to make
there daily grind a little easier. Further more, these military
pagans are quite earnest in seeking knowledge and attunement. The
group holds weekly classes on a wide variety of subject matter in
the pagan world. They work and walk thier paths one step at a time.
Its with great pride that I can say Ive seen a real high energy
group. BUT, supplies are always in need, especially for those
solitaires out there on the outlying bases who dont have the same
access to group and fellowship. They need your help. So when
possible please if you can, send a little support to these fine
young pagans, they fight for us every day and get little recognition
especially as pagans." Received from Keith Roberts on Fri Apr 13, 2007

Pagans United, under the tutelage of Keith's wife and Pagans United
cofounder, Laura, as well as other Pagan groups across the nation,
would like to encourage the Pagan community to join us in a massive
care package campaign to show our support for our troops.
Keith has requested that items such as basic Pagan books, herbs,
incense, candles, and stones be sent to the Pagan soldiers. In
addition, we would like to send basic every day items that all
soldiers can use; deodorant, sunglasses, toothpaste, magazines,
newspapers, blank greeting cards they can send home, prepaid phone
cards, lip balm, toilet paper, razors, instant coffee, chips, snack
cakes, gum, candy, breakfast bars, instant soup mixes, etc.
Laura has informed us that the most economical way of sending packages
is to opt for flat rate packaging and shipping; this method of
shipping costs the same, $8.10, no matter where you ship or how much
the package weighs and the post office has informed us that shipping
does include APO/AE addresses. Flat rate boxes are available at any
Post Office and packages are usually received in Iraq in 10 days.
The post office is no longer accepting packages addressed to "Any
Soldier" so it is vital that any packages shipped be addressed to a specific Soldier at a base to ensure delivery and distribution.
We will send out a wish list of specific requests as soon as one can
be collected! In the meantime, we encourage you to send the basics!
If you need any further information, please contact Laura Roberts at
moonpanther2004@yahoo.com or 912-545-2319
*****PLEASE REFER TO MOST RECENT PRESS RELEASE FOR AN UPDATED LIST OF BASES WE WILL BE SENDING PACKAGES TO. KEITH, MY HUSBAND STATES THAT VICTORY BASE HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH SUPPLIES TO LAST FOR A LONG TIME. IF THIS CHANGES I WILL POST THAT INFORMATION.************
