The Infowarrior

Being pretty much an athiest it doesn't really bother me one way or the other but it is good to see a greater level of tolerance being shown.

Had Christianity not been enforced upon the U.K it might still have been a Pagan country. It would have been interesting to see how that would have turned out.

It's late May in central London and a man dressed as a tree, a witch in a velvet robe and a woman pretending to be a raven with a long black beak are dancing through the streets of Holborn, with several hundred others, moving to the rhythm of a dozen loud drums. They could wake the god of thunder with their noise but it's OK, the people at the back with the broadswords and shields are followers of Thor. This is a parade to celebrate pagan pride, and it would be wise not to get in the way.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jun/22/paganism-stonehenge-environmentalism-witchcraft"><P>"We are moving into a new time," says the leader, brandishing a huge set of antlers.
