What is W.A.R.D.? | ||
W.A.R.D. (Witches Against Religious Discrimination) is an organization advocating the rights of Witches and Pagans as a religious minority. W.A.R.D. combats bigotry, religious discrimination, and harassment of practitioners of Witchcraft and Paganism in a non-disruptive manner. As such, we actively work to educate the public and provide a greater understanding of what Witchcraft is. We deal with discrimination cases, promote non-violence, and provide assistance to Witches and Pagans in need. | Because
some of the cases W.A.R.D. deals with need individual attention that
cannot be provided by a national organization, W.A.R.D. has created
chapters for each state. The Director of each chapter is the necessary
bridge between the local situation and W.A.R.D. The Louisiana Chapter is dedicated to furthering the goals of W.A.R.D. within the state by assisting with discrimination cases, providing information about Paganism in general and W.A.R.D. in particular, and connecting Pagans by posting networking opportunities. |

other local Pagans. Get Local Events Posted |
