"VA allows Wiccans to place symbols on grave
markers"
(an article by Scott Bauer, Associated Press Writer)
Madison, Wis. The Wiccan
pentacle has been added to the list of emblems allowed in national cemeteries
and on government-issued headstones of fallen soldiers, according to a
settlement announced Monday.
A settlement
between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Wiccans adds the
five-pointed star to the list of "emblems of belief" allowed on VA
grave markers.
Eleven families
nationwide are waiting for grave markers with the pentacle, said Selena Fox, a
Wiccan high priestess with Circle Sanctuary in Barneveld, Wis., a plaintiff in
the lawsuit.
The settlement
calls for the pentacle, whose five points represent earth, air, fire, water
and spirit, to be placed on grave markers within 14 days for those who have
pending requests with the VA.
"I am glad
this has ended in success in time to get markers for Memorial Day," Fox
said.
The VA sought the
settlement in the interest of the families involved and to save taxpayers the
expense of further litigation, VA spokesman Matt Burns said. The agency
also agreed to pay $225,000 in attorneys' fees and costs.
The pentacle has
been added to 38 symbols the VA already permits on gravestones. They
include commonly recognized symbols for Christianity, Buddhism, Islam and
Judaism, as well as those for smaller religions such as Sufism Reoriented,
Eckiankar and the Japanese faith Seicho-No-Ie.
"This
settlement has forced the Bush Administration into acknowledging that there
are no second-class religions in America, including among our nation's
veterans," said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, director of Americans United for
Separation of Church and State, which represented the Wiccans in the lawsuit.
Wicca is a
nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature, and the cycle of
the seasons.
