Sharing Pagan Stories of 9/11

This is a news release written in entirety by Circle Sanctuary Rep.

This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001.

This national tragedy impacted people of many walks of life, ethnicities, national origins, and spiritualities, including Wiccans, Druids, Heathens, and Pagans of other paths.

To aid with the healing and renewal process, and to help collect and preserve Pagan history, I have been in touch by phone and by email with some Pagan survivors of the 9/11 attacks as well as other Pagans impacted by 9/11 to learn about their experiences and perspectives.

In addition, I created a page for sharing support, resources, and Pagan Stories of 9/11 on Facebook.

My friend, Terry Comparetta Wagner, who assisted me with the 9/11 Memorial Ritual last year on September 11 at the Earth Spirituality Festival in Pennsylvania, is working with me in administering this new Facebook Community page. She had an office in the World Trade Center and was on her way to work there when the attacks happened. I am glad she survived and is helping me with this project.
