PathWalkers.Net Interactive :: Helping you along your path Major court decisions: Dettmer vs. Landon: concerns the rights of a Wiccan inmate in a penitentiary (described above) Lamb's chapel v. Center Moriches Union Free School District: concerns the rental of school facilities after hours by a religious group. Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc and Ernesto Pichardo v. City of Hialeah, (508 U.S. 520) in 1993: This concerns the right of a Santerian group to engage in animal sacrifice during their religious ritual. This ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court is of interest to Wiccans because it puts strict limits on laws that target specific religions or groups of religions. Wallace vs Jaffree: concerns the Alabama "moment of silence" law which allowed an interval of silence in place of prayer (until it was declared unconstitutional) Excerpts from state constitutions which deal with religious rights. The text of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Other court rulings: The 1964 concurring opinion by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Douglas, in the case of United States v. Seeger, (380 U.S. 163), confirmed that the United States is a pluralistic nation, founded on the belief that religion must not be used to indoctrinate or coerce. This was also supported by the majority ruling in Lee v. Weisman, (505 U.S. 577) in 1992. Military Courts of Justice in the U.S. have also found Wicca to be a valid religion, deserving of protection under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In United States v. Phillips, (42 M.J. 346) in 1995) the concurring opinion by Judge Wiss stated: "First, Wicca is a socially recognized religion. It is is acknowledged as such by the Army. See Dept. of the Army (DA) Pamphlet 165-13-1, Religious Requirements and Practices of Certain Selected Groups: A Handbook for Chaplains (April 1980), revising A Pamphlet 165-13, "Religious Requirements and Practices of Certain Selected Groups: A Handbook for Chaplains" (April 1978). Further, it is acknowledged as such in courts of law."

General information: Horoscopes for June 14th to 20th, 2004 Posted by: Nyxks on Monday, June 14, 2004 - 09:01 PM ARIES This week's scenario is highlighted by a need for flexibility, thinking on your feet, and the ability to accommodate the unexpected will be called for now. The pace is very quick. You will be pulled in many directions at once and will tend to scatter your forces, jumping from one thing to the next. Positively, you may come up with some fresh, original plan or insight that may seem crazy at first, but which is likely to be quite useful. Your personal aims, ambitions, and interests meet with unexpected obstacles and should be put on hold for now.. Doors that you have been hoping would open are closing instead. So put off those big projects until another time. TAURUS This week's scenario is highlighted by a focus on love or a primary romantic relationship. An enthusiastic or wholehearted approach to your partnership is one way in which you will express your feelings to a mate or lover. You may give the impression now that you are seeking more fulfillment, commitment, stability, and teamwork in love relationships. You will go that extra mile to insure that you can be relied upon to deliver any promises, pledges, or obligations in the partnership. If you are unattached at the present time, you may attract a new love interest or search earnestly for a meaningful relationship. Also, this period can bring an increased need for security in both job-related and financial affairs. GEMINI This week's scenario is highlighted by a the possibility of having a healthy emotional attachment to your partner at this time. Protective feelings flow but you know how to nurture without smothering your partner. You are more secure because you can sense your mate's deep inner nature and the manner in which they will respond to your care and concern. If you are in a relationship that has a long history, you will seek familiar places and experiences which remind you of shared past enjoyments. If you are without a mate, this may signal the time when you meet an individual who stirs deep emotional feelings within you and may even awaken your memories of past associations. CANCER This week's scenario is highlighted by a fresh new approach to your caretaking and domestic responsibilities. Loved ones and family members will be glad you support their individuality as well as provide them with visions and ideals. Instead of catering to every whim, you may give your children, mate, or other loved one more personal freedom and independence now. You may also experience friendships now which take on a more caring and protective element but also allow you the freedom to pursue your other essential needs. Your intuitive capabilities are limitless and you easily can sense other people's desires and needs and therefore know what kind of support or help to deliver. Your acute sense of timing in this regard can inspire others to gravitate toward you for care and understanding. You are in harmony with the people in your immediate environment. There is a sense of ease and of flowing with, rather than fighting against or resisting, what is going on around you.

ARIES<br />

This week's scenario is highlighted by a need for flexibility, thinking on<br />

your feet, and the ability to accommodate the unexpected will be called for<br />

now. The pace is very quick. You will be pulled in many directions at once<br />

and will tend to scatter your forces, jumping from one thing to the next.<br />

Positively, you may come up with some fresh, original plan or insight that<br />

may seem crazy at first, but which is likely to be quite useful. Your personal aims,<br />

ambitions, and interests meet with unexpected obstacles and should be put on hold for<br />
