CALLING ALL PAGANS!!
Wear a purple ribbon for Pagan Pride Day!
September 21st & 22nd: Pagans, Wiccans & Witches world-wide wear a purple ribbon to promote religious tolerance and to help raise awareness. By wearing the ribbons we show unity and pride in our religious choice. Wear it on your shirt, your purse/bag, or up in your hair! And be ready to answer questions about it! Don't worry, you don't have to try to explain your entire religion, just be ready to answer why you're wearing the ribbon. "To show pride in my religious choice as a Pagan/Wiccan/Witch/etc. and therefore help raise awareness of my religion and hopefully promote religious tolerance." Or something along those lines.. And it might be nice if you had some website links or book names you could offer to anyone who is interested. Or you could really get into it and hand out leaflets with some general Pagan information and including weblinks/books. It's up to you!
Also, Visit the iWitch Project website - http://www.maxpages.com/iwitch
& grab a button for Pagan/Wiccan pride to put on your website/myspace/blog/etc.
And link it back to iWitch (via: http://www.maxpages.com/iwitch)
"To spread awareness and understanding of the Wiccan religion in order to create tolerance and peace."

Pride is defined as a feeling of self-respect and personal worth. It is a sense of achievement and satisfaction with ones' decisions and achievements. Finding one's spiritual path is a major achievement and an intensely personal decision. It is something that we should be proud of. I would like to propose a symbolic act that would serve to unite Pagans across the country.
On September 21st & 22nd, tie a purple ribbon to some part of your body or property or maybe even both. The color purple for this particular campaign was chosen because of it's highly spiritual symbolism. Many cultures and religions signify the color purple with a higher spiritual calling. It is time that we all came out of the broom closet. Think about how cool it would be to look around that day and actually see others that share your beliefs. It is time for us to show everyone how many of us there are. There is strength and safety in numbers. The internet is the key that opened the door for us. Let's use it to open our door to the rest of the world.
get the word out to as many people as you can!
Mark the date on your calendar in purple.
