Police To Get Pagan Holidays
Congratulations to pagan police officers for winning the right to take the festivals in the wheel of the year as holiday!

According to BBC News, pagan police officers UK are now allowed to take eight days leave a year for events such as the summer solstice and Halloween.

This is a major victory in the fight for recognition by those following nature religions. It is sign that Wicca, druidry and other pagan spiritual paths is beginning to be taken as seriously as mainstream religions by the government and by the community.

A Home Office spokesman said: "The government wants a police service that reflects the diverse communities it serves. It is down to individual forces to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate the religion or beliefs of individual officers, as far as operational requirements permit."
