For Immediate Release
Hills and Rivers Local Council is rejoicing over Pennsylvania's ban on same-sex marriage being lifted! We sing songs of celebration and happiness alongside our LGBTQ kin for this victory! Acts of love are some of the most sacred rituals and what an exciting time it is to be witness to barriers being cast into the "ash heap" of history. May the Gods bless the many unions that will follow this historic decision, and may They also bless the paths of those who have worked tirelessly and courageously to bring equality to our country.
Hills and Rivers Local Council of Covenant of the Goddess servers the Wiccan communities in PA, WV and Western NY. For more information contact coghillsandrivers@gmail.com.
From the Hills & Rivers LC Board
The members of Hills and Rivers Local Council of Covenant of the Goddess are shocked and deeply saddened by the school stabbing in Murrysville, Pennsylvania. Our hearts reach out to the community, students, teachers, and parents with offerings of healing, care, and love.
May the experienced medical teams in the larger Pittsburgh area continue to find the energy and resources needed to care for the victims and bring them to a full recovery in body, mind, and spirit. We pray that those indirectly hurt by this tragedy find themselves wrapped in comfort and safety. We hope the perpetrator of the attack obtains the help he desperately needs.
The devastating actions of this troubled young man are impossible to condone. We pray to Goddess and God that we can be open to understanding how some children, teenagers, and adults make such unfathomable decisions so we can create a community in which this sort of violence does not happen.
Peace and Blessings
Hills & Rivers LC serves Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Western New York State.
