Wynne may have won the case but she is still fighting...............for her life

Ever since Darla Wynne won her case in court about the name Jesus Christ being spoken in prayer conducted by the town council, she has suffered abuse and torment. Now they have gone so far as to kill her pets in protest against her to drive her out.....

Taken from the Lancaster News August 24th, 2005
A parrot belonging to the Wiccan high priestess was beheaded and affixed with a note reading "You're next" at Wynne's home Wednesday. The 5-year-old bird, named "Little One," also had its heart ripped out, Wynne said. ... Police Chief Mike Revels said there are no suspects in the case, and his officers have yet to apprehend any of the culprits associated with a litany of disturbances to Wynne's property, some going back several years.
Since the lawsuit was filed nearly five years ago, the gas tank in Wynne's vehicle has been filled with sand, horses in her yard have been tortured and her dog was kicked so hard it went blind in one eye. ... The vandalism and pet abuse have, no doubt, been spurred on by the litigation between Wynne and the town, Revels said, but leads have been scarce. No other crimes around town appear to be committed in retaliation of Wynne's suit, he said.

In case you haven't heard about this case, Darla Wynne is a High Priestess in a town called Great Falls. She started attending the town council meeting to get the drugs problems off her streets. In the meetings they had a prayer session at the beginning where they prayed to Jesus. She at first said nothing and quietly stood aside while they had their prayers but then when she went to address the topics in the meetings she was rebuffed because she didn't take part in the prayer. She explained to them that she wasn't a Christian and would gladly take part if they would use a moer generic name like just God, that way it is not just centralized on one type of deity. They refused to do this and refused to let her take part in the meetings, so she sued them for religious discrimination. Since then she has gone through numerous attacks by people in the town.
There are some Pagans that look at this and say she was just trying to get attention, but I personally feel she was in the right for what she did.

Philomelus, Son of Demeter

Philomelus or Philomenus was a minor Greek demi-god, the son of Demeter and Iasion , and the brother of plutus . Plutus was very wealthy, but gave none of his riches to his brother. Out of necessity Philomenus bought two oxen, invented the wagon or plough, and supported himself by ploughing his fields and cultivating crops. His mother, admiring him for this, put him in the heavens as the constellation Bootes , his wagon or plough being the constellation Ursa major .

Plutus, God of Wealth, son of Demeter

Image
Ploutus , usually Romanized as Plutus , was the god of wealth in ancient Greek religion and myth . He was the son of Demeter [ 1 ] and the demigod Iasion , with whom she lay in a thrice-ploughed field. In the theology of the Eleusinian Mysteries he was regarded as the Divine Child. His relation to the classical ruler of the underworld Plouton (Latin Pluto ), with whom he is often conflated , is complex, as Pluto was also a god of riches. [ citation needed ] In the philosophized mythology of the later Classical period, Plutus is envisaged by Aristophanes [ 2 ] as blinded by Zeus , so that he would be able to dispense his gifts without prejudice; he is also lame, as he takes his time arriving, and winged, so he leaves faster than he came. When the god's sight is restored, in Aristophanes' comedy , he is then able to determine who is deserving of wealth, creating havoc. Among the Eleusinian figures painted on Greek ceramics, Plutus, whether a boy child or a youthful epheb

Wiccan Parents have to win the right to teach their son their religion

Indianapolis Star about it written on Thrusday August 18, 2005. An Indianapolis father can share his Wiccan beliefs and rituals with his 10-year-old son, a state appeals court ruled Wednesday in a unanimous decision upholding parents' rights to share their religion with their children. The court declared that a Marion County judge erred in approving a divorce decree last year that also directed the man and his ex-wife to shelter their son from "non-mainstream religious beliefs and rituals." Thomas E. Jones Jr., a practicing Wiccan who waged the court battle, said he's relieved that his life can return to normal. "Because of this, I think a lot of education has gone on about religious freedoms," said Jones, who planned to tell his son the good news when he got home from school Wednesday, his first day of fourth grade. The case involved the divorce of Jones and Tammie U. Bristol, both practicing Wiccans. The Indianapolis residents married in February 1995, an
