The Order of the Pentacle is a new Pagan Veterans association.
It is open to Wiccans and those on other Pagan paths who have the Pentacle as their emblem of belief, who have served and/or are serving the US Armed Forces, and who want the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to add the Pentacle to its emblems of belief list so that it can be an option to be included on veteran grave makers issued by the VA.
The Order of the Pentacle also is open to spouses of veterans who have the Pentacle as their emblem and want it on the VA's list.
The Order of the Pentacle has formed in order to provide additional support for the Veteran Pentacle Quest.
There is no membership fee.

INCLUDE
(1) your full name
(2) your contact information (postal address, phone number/s, preferred email),
(3) plus some basic info about your military service - what branch(es) of the US military you served in, your rank(s), and when (what years) & where you served.
In the future, we may summarize and publicize some general demographics of the membership, such as the number of members and number of branches of military and range of locations and eras served in order to point out the diversity of military service of Wiccan/Pagan veterans who have the Pentacle as their emblem of belief.
However, we will keep your name and the associated personal information you send us private, unless you specifically indicate it is OK to share this as part of our work.
From time to time, we plan to update those in the Order of the Pentacle about the Pentacle Quest with special emails.
We also suggest that you join our Circle Times e-list, if you haven't already done so, in order to get updates we send that way. You can sign-up on-line at the Circle Sanctuary website or by emailing: circle@circlesanctuary.org.
If you know of others who are eligible and might be interested in joining the Order of the Pentacle, please forward this email to them.
SPREAD THE WORD: post this invite to lists, websites, blogs, and other places.
Thank you!
