Christian groups step up harassment of pagan festivals I have cautioned lately about these times, right now in the US, regarding freedom of assembly by Witches at festivals and travel. Especially travel. If you are a traveling Witch, you need your tools, your "kit". So I have suggested a traveling kit for Witches which can be hidden in the open. One can have very specific tools at home but when traveling by air, some specific items can be packed hiding in the open. The black handled Athame can be a black handled folding Swiss Army knife; The Chalice can be a crystal goblet. A specific wand being wood will not show up. A small blackboard and chalk can be used to trace a Pentagram on it during a ceremony. All hiding in the open. Some crystals can be tucked away. All these traveling implements can be consecrated and assembled for your traveling kit, specifically designed for your traveling kit. All hiding in the open. We need to be aware of the hysteria which is building by those who refuse to let others follow a different path. The important thing is your safety. Have situational awareness and be safe.
My main bundle I would not dare take it in my suitcase by plane-my Athame I forged it myself and made ebony handles for it it is extremely special and its confiscation would be devastating. Same with some wands. I just went on a trip by air roundtrip and everything went well with my traveling kit. Of course I took my traveling Tarot cards. I think with these current days we need to be aware of intolerance around us and take note like the above article. You know, I have absolutely no problem with Christians exercising their faith-it's when intolerance all the way to violence is an absolute no go today. We can be invisible.
