I think it should be allowed. Us wiccans are just like everyone else but we do things differently.

This is crazy. Freedom of religion is a basic human right. They cannot take this away.

This is actually ridiculous and if the Town of Richlands thinks they can get away with such blatant disrespect to our nation's constitution, they've got another thing coming.

Wicca is a federally recognized religion in the United States. My son is in the Air Force and they encourage them to practice, so if the USAF recognizes it then Richlands most definitely should as well. Also, reading of the tarot is considered a part of Wicca the exact same thing as performing the "Lord's Supper" is for Christianity. It's an activity of recognition.

The town council needs to get with the times and stop killing this town with its regulations. We are spending tens of thousands to fix up an old rail house and not building jobs. These regulations are on par with the obama administration on coal yet Im sure the town doesnt see the hypocrisy. Lets not block a business from harmless entertainment while bringing in revenue to our town.

Wicca is a nationally recognized religion. The laws may be outdated as well as potentially unconstitutional at this time which means it merits a look as well as involvement from the ACLU. These people have the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to practice their religion just as any other does.

A person's religion and religious practices cannot be made illegal in the United States of America. Our religious freedom is guaranteed us by the First Amendment. Local governments, cannot, on a whim, just decide because they don't personally like something they can just pass a law banning it. The "law" they have in place isn't lawful and is in violation of federally protected rights.

We all deserve to worship our religion. Nust because your is different that doesnt mean we are wrong and you are right. Respect each others beliefs. One religion is not better than another.
