I’ve noticed that we have quite a little brown-coated pagan sub-culture around here, so thought I would bounce an idea off of you.

There are three pagan circles that I know of in Iraq, and they have all requested that those of us stateside send them some support, well wishes and ritual supplies that are hard to get over there. One of the members of the Desert Moon Grove in Ramadi posted on Witchvox with some specifics about stuff they needed. Some of the things outside of ritual supplies were entertainment goodies. Like movies. Like Serenity.

My wife and I are prepping care packages with candles, incense, snacks and some Samhain and Yule goodies, but we can’t stretch the budget enough right now to buy 3 copies of Serenity along with that and the postage. I was hoping that someone here might be interested in helping out some of the groups with care packages too, so we can make sure that all the military pagans get the chance to be Browncoats like us. What do you think?

Looks like this has gotten pushed far enough down that the people it's aimed at didn't see it, so.....BUMP.

Another cut and paste from witchvox.com so you'll have the 3rd group too:

A Call for Pagan Support

I am starting a Pagan service on COB Speicher, Iraq. Unfortullantly there is no access to supplies or any supplies currently located on this base. We are looking for the basic items to do a circle, and the ability to do some simple spell workings. Such as athamies, pentagrams, wands, chalices, incense, candles, herbs, essential oil, and books. Any items, in which you care to donate, would be greatly appreciated. Please send items to address below. These items will be left here on this base for the next group leader to use when we transition out of this country and back safely to the USA.
