Those of you following the Pagan Blogosphere have probably heard about the Wiccan who was fired from Bath and Body Works because she was Wiccan. The best article I've seen so far on the issue is one written by Ellen MacInnis: Wiccans Don't Deserve Scorn, maybe because it gets into how one person was shocked by this illegal move and a little about her story of coming out as Neo-Pagan. This was also reported at: about.com.

Yes, the person is suing the company, and their official position is not to discriminate, but since it is a court case, they aren't making a statement.  Though I'm sure they would if it were such a clear case of discrimination against someone who was Jewish or Muslim.  But we're fringe and don't have much power.  Or do we? It seems pagans are writing into the company and boycotting the store.  The Wild Hunt talks a bit about the boycott and provides a handy link for contacting the company to state your displeasure.

Why am I writing about this old news?  Well, I think if you are boycotting Bath and Body Works during the gift-giving season, you should tell all your friends and family that you are doing so and do not want gifts originating from them.
