In The News:
The internet has grown up since Pagan'sPath first went live online. Today RSS feeds and News services have replaced the need for organizations to drudge through search engines, news papers and news casts to find the latest news for a specific topic.
 
In October 2009 we made our last update to this section of our website. Instead we suggest those interested in Pagan news visit Topix's Pagan News Feed @ www.topix.com/religion/pagan-wiccan
 
For the most current news and issues, we suggest you visit:
 Lady Liberty League
 The ACLU's Religious Freedom Page
Religious Tolerance - Wiccan/Neo-Pagan News
RSS - Religion News Feed - Witchcraft (Excellent Resource)
 
News about Witchcraft and other Neopagans in the media appears to be drying up. We suspect that some of the reasons are:
  • Many new conservative Christian web sites and books have accurately reflected Witchcraft instead of reprinting misinformation based on religious propaganda from the Burning Times
  • The public has generally become much more aware of Witchcraft, and have accepted it as a valid minority religion.
  • Enough Witchcraft practioners have enforced their rights through the court. Fewer public school districts continue to ban religious jewelry; fewer municipal councils reject non-Judeo-Christian representatives for the delivery of invocations.
