Pagan, Wiccan Religions To Be Celebrated By Group At Sock Hop Event
Author: F. Andrew Taylor Source: Southeast View News (NV)
Title: PAGAN, WICCAN RELIGIONS TO BE CELEBRATED BY GROUP AT SOCK HOP EVENT
Witches have gotten a bit of a public relations makeover in the last decade. These days, the word witch is less likely to summon images of green-skinned hags with pointed hats than it is British schoolchildren with a penchant for eating horribly flavored jelly beans.
Neither image is quite what the local nonprofit organization Las Vegas Pagan Pride is going for, and one of the group's stated goals is to dispel misconceptions about the pagan and Wiccan religions.
"We have the same values as the other major religions as far as family, honesty, work, et cetera goes," said Las Vegas Pagan Pride member Vicki Clair. "Our morals are somewhat different. We believe that whatever consenting adults do is fine, as long as they're not abusing those that can't protect themselves."

A positive description of Paganism that isn't patronizing or "fluffy." It's always good to see a nice, unbiased description of what we're all about.

This was a very positive explanation of our community. I love the "Pointed Hat Society" photo (as compared the well known "Red Hat Society.") Bravo!
