Our mother earth is slowly dying, people are still persecuted openly for their religious beliefs, and the rights of the people are being over shadowed by the greed of those in power. The word democracy has slowly lost all meaning.

On a daily basis I receive reports of assaults, loss of jobs, housing, and the destruction of property from my fellow pagans. And it's not just the pagan religion; all the minority religions face the same fear on a daily basis. This just can't be allowed to go on any longer.

I find it ironic that we went into Iraq to bring them freedom and democracy when many of us in the United States aren't allowed the simple basic freedoms our country was founded on. It is my hope that through activism and education, many of the problems we are facing today can be resolved. It's time we all stand together and make some changes before it's too late. The time for change is now. Will you join us?

VICE PRESIDENT

KEITH M. ROBERTS aka WINTERWOLF

I have been walking the pagan path for a few years now, but recently felt that I needed to be more action orientated. I see our world hurting from depredations and I see humanity in severe need of healing of the spirit. I believe this project is an excellent step in the right direction. Pagans United is based on activism. The word itself seems to have been a dirty word label for a very long time in many of the mainstream's eyes. Part of why I am working here is to show that activism isn't a political dirty word, it simply means to take an "active" roll in the community, the nations political process and the world at large.

My goals here are simple. Bring people together as a community and teaching tolerance of race, gender, religion, and preference. I
believe its a major component of Pagan thought and ethic. I also am working on taking the initiative and making Pagan's United a voice to be respected in the political community so that when we fight for ecological protective measures and human rights, the political will take notice and consider us seriously. As VP I am dedicated towards these goals and helping the pagan community through honorable service and devotion.

Keith Roberts is currently serving as an American soldier in Iraq. For several years he has served in the nation's armed services and is a veteran of three tours in the middle east. Although his personal views don't always agree with the government, honor above all continues to drive his service for the country and people within that he loves.

He has studied for awhile as a solitaire practitioner and has recently taken up studies for formal pagan education. In his spare time he enjoys reading, painting, writing short stories and getting out into nature as much as possible. He has always grown up around animals and feels a deep connection with all things wild and free. Keith can be contacted at keith@pagansunited.com

UPDATE: Keith is currently serving again in Iraq and will be there until sometime in 08

Rev Fallon Glen, Networking and PR Specialist

My name is Fallon Glenn. I am a 21 year old Correllian Nativist. I am happily married to my childhood sweetheart, Courtney. I am a certified nursing assistant in Arkansas.
I believe strongly that all faiths deserve equal consideration within the eyes of the law. I began my journey as a Pagan Activist with the Pagan Unity Campaign in 2001 as a state level volunteer. Over the next several years, I got involved with various causes and organizations. When Pagans United formed in 2004 I jumped on board to lend my assistance and have found that Pagans United is a wonderful organization with much to offer.

Fallon has always been there ready to work hard on any and all projects myself or the group dreams up even while running all her own activists groups and attending college. She also has been with Pagans United since its inception. There have been many a time when we've worked all night to get a project done. I really don't know what I'd do with out her friendship, advise and hard work. Fallon may be contacted at public-relations@pagansunited.com

MEMBERS AT LARGE

The following are members of the group and a driving force behind all that we do here at Pagans United. Without their help this organization would not be here today. Some members have graciously allowed me to post their photos here and I thank them for coming out into the open. We have other members who would prefer to remain behind the scenes and that is fine also, however, I would be remiss if I did not mention this fact and publically thank them for their quiet help and support.

Virginia Villarreal

Virginia, shown here in the black, is a cherished and well loved Sister of Keith & I and a representative for the GBLT Pagan Community.

She has an incredible zeal for life and energy that wears me out just thinking about it. She owns two businesses, one an accounting/tax business and the other by the name of Elvenkeep Creations in which she make the most heavenly incense, incense bottles, dream catchers and more. You will find her at many of the Pagan Gatherings and Festivals and I strongly urge you to stop by her booth if you see her. You can also visit her site at www.elvenkeepcreations.com and purchase her wares. You won't be sorry. I don't know what Keith and I would do without her friendship and energy.

SKYE THOMAS

(The little bird that whispers and sometimes squawks in my ear)

Skye has been there with me since the beginning of Pagans United. She is my grounding force and has given me a lot of incredible insight on issues, both personal and professional, throughout the years. She's a mentor and staunch friend always there to lend a ear or helping hand and has been instrumental in keeping the group motivated and focused. I am honored to have her as a friend and mentor.

The following quote from Skye says it all:

To a group of political activists fighting for freedom of religion, "To you I say, meet me in the eye of the storm and together we will steer this mess in another direction. Jump into the storm. Do not stand on the sidelines too lazy and scared to do anything about all the ugliness going on around you. Jump into the storm. Swim and fight your way to the center of the vortex. There we will sit together in the quiet and find the solutions. Until we embrace the eye of the storm and really see what is at the root of humanity's hatred of each other, we will never find a long term solution that creates real peace and equality for everyone. We need to heal our planet, our bodies, and the spiritual hearts of our species." Skye Thomas - 2005

Skye is a single parent who has risen above the challenges and built her own businesses, as well as authored several books. To learn more about Skye, I urge all of you to visit her website at www.TomorrowsEdge.net . What else can I say but "See you on Oprah, Skye".

REV. KAY J. AHL aka Tia Hu

Kay is the mentor and web mistress for the Victory Base Open Circle in Iraq. She is a stanch supporter of our Pagan Military. She's been a part of the military community one way or another all her life and is well versed in the hardships and joys faced by those in the Military family. Add being Pagan to that an you have a whole new set of issues to deal with. Kay is always there to answer questions, share her vast knowledge, and council those who are far from home or have loved ones in Iraq. A tireless driving force and Pagans United is lucky to have her.

I met Kay after I had begun my care package program to the troops, I was invited to join the VBOC group and we've been friends every since. Kay is a person you would definitely want in your corner when the chips are down. I know many a day she's kept my spirits high and many times kept me in stitches laughing with her zany sense of humor.

GREYHART

Greyhart is a relatively new member to the group and usually prefers to listen and ponder on things before speaking out. When he does speak out, his words are insightful and lend a great deal to the projects or debates we are involved in at the time.

Glad to have you on board Greyhart!
