Subj : FWed: Ft Hood Altar Smashed To : All From : Rachel L. Akers Date : Fri Nov 03 2000 09:27 pm Greetings All, Just received this a few minutes ago... Kept the e-mail address in as it seems to ba a public notice.. Still in shock myself. Can't think of any other cover comment. Rai * From: "Carol Powers" * Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2000 * I am writing this letter to ask for positive energy from the * Pagan community. We here at the Ft Hood Open Circle have had a * terrible thing happen to us. We have our circle at a camp ground * on the Ft Hood military installation and this year for Samhain we * decided to have a Haunted Forest. * When we got to camp yesterday to get ready for it we found that * someone had been in there and had messed with our props. We called * the MPs and reported it and thought that was the end of it. Tonight * when we went out, we found our alter smashed to pieces and our * quarters gone and all of our props destroyed and thrown in the * dumpster. Our alter was made out of a 4' by 4' foot, 1' foot thick * solid piece of stone. It took alot of hate to smash it. * But I am happy to say that at this moment the circle has come * together to do our Samhain ritual anyway. We set up a temporary * circle. We will be stronger because of this. The pain will be with * us binding us together, not tearing us apart. Please send us energy * to make us stronger to bear this. And hopefully we can all be a * little stronger because of this. * Blessed Be * Carol Powers --- Msged/2 4.00 * Origin: Elfwhere - The POINTy eared POINT (3:640/531.2379) .
