badstarI think I've subconsciously boycotted any and all ribbon campaigns.
Including...and maybe especially? The Purple Ribbon for Pagan Awareness?
To all Wiccan and Pagans (Ribbon day)
Body: Body: Purple Ribbon Day
All practitioners of Earth religions, Wicca, Shamanism, Druidry etc,
are being encouraged to wear a purple ribbon as a way of promoting
religious tolerance and to potentially raise awareness: On
Sept. 21st to 22nd all Witches are going to wear little purple
ribbons so everyone will know Who Else is a witch/wiccan/
pagan/... . But no one can do this if they don't know about it, so
pass the word along! This message goes to all Witches, Wiccans,
Pagans from all sorts of traditions. We can make a day for
Ourselves!! Actually, two days!!! You can buy a purple ribbon
anywhere, Dollar store, wal-mart, shoppers drug mart,
anywhere...Wear it in your Hair, or pin it up to your shirt. Make it
public!!!
Frankly, I'm sick of "tolerance". I understand the motive behind the idea, but I don't want to be tolerated.
I've also seen this advertized somewhere as "All pagans wear purple ribbons so we can identify each other and no one else knows what the ribbon is for!!!" Wish I could find that again.
