No Longer Plain
Posted on | April 24, 2007 | 3 Comments
The news is all over the Pagan blogsphere (and if you’re not connected into The Wild Hunt you should be): the VA finally approved the pentacle as an acceptable religious symbol for headstones for veterans buried in national cemeteries.
I took these photos of Abe and Rosemary’s headstone on Febrauary 17, 2007. I found on top an offering of a stone and a golden earring — offerings of love and remembrance for two of our local ancestors.
Knowing Rosemary, her response to today’s news would probably have been, “It’s about damn time.”

That is such fabulous news!!! Rosemary was such a pistol … I think you’re spot-on about what she would have said.

I am filled with such radiant joy. The wait is over. May 23 (same date, different years) is the anniversary. I’ll be there doing some kind of ritual, depending on how many people arrive. Oh, yes, it is 3 pm PST, but will try to be very close because some people will need to return to work.
