Air Force Spends $80,000 On Pagan Worship Site

The United States Air Force Academy has worship spaces for most of the world’s major religions. But until last year, cadets who followed Earth-based religions – including Pagans and Wiccans – were lacking a proper area to practice rituals in.

Now, about four to seven of the 4,300 USAFA cadets gather each week at the academy’s new pagan ritual site, called the Cadet Chapel Falcon Circle, to participate in what the academy says are “smudging ceremonies, meditation and ceremonial magic.”

Meade Warthen, chief of the Media Relations Division for the academy, told The Christian Post in an email, “Three cadets have formerly identified themselves as Pagan. Currently, there are no self-identified Gardnerian Wicca, Dianic Wicca, Seax Wicca, Wicca, Druid, or Shaman cadets.”
