We're going to see abortion, divorce and crime rates skyrocket because of this.

I'm so glad to see that the VA has finally accepted the Pentacle I find it sad, however, that it's taken this long to do so.

I don't see how symbols on tomb stones are going to effect abortion, divorce, or crime rates.

It's not cut off at the bottom. That's how the symbol is supposed to be. I think it symbolizes something about not all can be known or is known or something like that. I forget exactly.

Good. I am not particularly fond of Wiccan teachings or practices, although I must admit to being quite ignorant on the subject, but they have every right to have the Wiccan symbol on their headstones. I don't understand how they could have denied them this right for so long? Freedom of religion?
