DrayvensCrow Revealed! One minor thing that came out of the whole VPQ on the local level was that I finally got someone's attention at the local newspaper about getting a more balanced and truthful view in on Witches, Wiccans and Pagans. I ended up doing a two and one-half hour interview with the reporter who handles the "Spirituality" beat, who just happens to be Pagan! I was surprised to see my pic in the paper not long after having it taken and that the article was prominately displayed on the front page of the Spirituality section. So since I can't really send in a pic to Jim and Holly for lack of a computer, I figured I'd "borrow" the one from the paper, so....here you go!
Re: DrayvensCrow Revealed! Yay! Go you for opening up people's eyes about our community! Now I hope you haven't gotten any flack from locals about it since the article was published. Hopefully it's just been interested, polite questions.

Re: DrayvensCrow Revealed! Actually....there has only been one person who insists on making snarky remarks EVERYTIME he sees me but never stays long enough for me to even engage him in debate. He's what I like to call a "Drive-By Christian".
Re: DrayvensCrow Revealed! Drive by christian...is probably the best name ive heard for it...we have plenty of them at home. congrats at getting your personal message out.
Re: DrayvensCrow Revealed! Thanks, Varryance. Unfortunately, there is more work to do and not enough people taking an interest. We're still working towards getting Thor's Hammer and the Awen(among others) recognized by the VA/NCA and there is still a Wiccan chaplain being unfairly kept from his troops. Until we as Wiccans/Witches/Pagans are treated as equals in the "Real World" and in the Military, it's still an uphill battle.
Now I hope you haven't gotten any flack from locals about it since the article was published. Hopefully it's just been interested, polite questions.
