Pagan prisoners win right to have 'magic wand' twigs in cells under new religious freedom rules
Pagan prisoners: Allowed to keep twigs in cells
Prison bosses have been instructed to let pagan inmates keep twigs in their cells...to use as wands.
Officers have been told to allow prisoners to collect and decorate the twigs which they need for their rituals.
It is the latest in a series of rulings to protect convicts' rights and ensure equality among different faiths.
Followers of other faiths are allowed items such as a prayer mat to allow them to worship.
The policy regarding pagans was announced by Justice Reform Minister Maria Eagle in a parliamentary answer.
She said: "Prison service policy is to enable prisoners of different faith traditions, including paganism, to practise their religion.
"Religious artefacts are allowed for relevant faiths within the constraints of good order and discipline. The religious artefacts for pagan prisoners include a flexible twig for a wand."
Tory prisons spokesman Edward Garnier said: "This sounds like an April Fool's Day joke. But there's genuine concern prisoners are taking the system for a ride."

czarofzar 05-12-2008, 07:18 PM No different than insisting for the bible. People think the Bible is magical

Wow, that's fucking stupid.
A) I find it hard to believe that there are enough "pagan prisoners" that would require this,
B) Most of these guys are fucking stupid,
C) You don't need a wand for anything. I don't have one. You need an athame more than you need a wand, and I guarantee you, the prisons won't give them those.
D) Most of these guys are fucking stupid.
Herschel 05-13-2008, 04:59 PM Ok, I wiki'd "athame" and I still don't understand exactly what it's actually used for. Wiki says that it's not actually used for cutting, so could you maybe elaborate for me?

btw, $100 will never respond to that kind of question, fyi

Hello Pott, this is kettle. Lets put it in perpective.
Mark gets banned for name calling folks who grabs different magical words from the Bible, You use a different magical device and resort to name calling.
You :owned: yourself.
fail
Herschel 05-13-2008, 06:08 PM Actually, he's talking about the prisoners themselves, not about their religious beliefs........
How's that bowl of self ownage taste Czar?
:owned:
czarofzar 05-13-2008, 09:21 PM He personally attacked the people themselves. Exactly. Which is a no-no under $100 law. But I’ll let you slide this time since your ball cap was turned wigger style. Just re-read and actually comprehend my letter; maybe stfu next time so you don’t :owned: yourself by default.

It's a ceremonial dagger, usually not sharp although some people do sharpen them, used primarily to focus energy. Even blunt though, it would make a hell of a weapon in a prison, and how hard would it really be to sharpen on a concrete floor of a prison cell?
czarofzar 05-13-2008, 09:39 PM egads :rolleyes:
athame as a sword, Bible as a shield. Evil runs

Dagger, not sword. Too bad, because it would be fuckin' cool to have a sword.
czarofzar 05-13-2008, 10:04 PM A shot in the dark.... are athame made a certain way like kosher to a jew?
$100T2 05-14-2008, 08:17 AM A shot in the dark.... are athame made a certain way like kosher to a jew?
Nope. Just any old dagger, you just have to consecrate it.
