ASHEVILLE - Pagans from around the country will attend Wednesday's
public rally at Reynolds High School, urging equal time for all
religions in the schools, according to a local organizer.
"You can have no religion in the schools. You can have all religions in
the schools, but you can't have only the Christian religion in the
schools," said Ginger Strivelli, high priestess of the Appalachian Pagan
Alliance.
Strivelli and her group requested use of the school property for their
event following last month's "We Still Pray" rally, which drew thousands
of area Christians upset by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling against
school-sponsored prayers before football games.

The "We Still Work Magic" rally will be held 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday at
the Reynolds High School stadium, 1 Rocket Drive.
Pagans as far away as Maine, Maryland and Oklahoma have contacted
Strivelli and said they plan to attend. The Appalachian Pagan Alliance,
one of several local Wiccan circles, numbers 100 members, according to
Strivelli. She estimates the rally may attract 1,000 or more Pagans, as
well as protesters and curious spectators.
The Alliance had to hire 15 off-duty deputies and buy liability
insurance in order to hold the rally, Strivelli said. The $1,000 in
costs have been picked up by three national Witch advocacy groups.
The rally will offer Wiccan prayers and blessings. Speakers will include
Dara Kaye Wynne, assistant national director of Witches Against
Religious Discrimination, and Diotima Mantineia, associate editor of
Witches Voice, a popular Internet Web site for pagans. Stivelli will
speak, along with Beth Langley, the co-founder of the Appalachian Pagan
Alliance, and an Alliance member, Thomas Pendragon Brice.
Strivelli said funds also have been contributed by the Alternative
Religion Education Network.
