indyellenAs the wheel turns on this year, we have lost many. This year, as in previous years, I am posting the Litany of the Dead, as compiled by Dagonet Dewr. Feel free to pass this on as long as the attributions remain.

*Samhain Litany of the Dead*
*October 30, 2006***
*Dagonet Dewr – dagonet.dewr@ gmail.com*
* *
* As always, this is done by research and accumulating
information throughout the year. I may have – no, I'll guarantee I did –
miss people, especially in the Pagan section. For that, I apologize in
advance.*
* As always, first and foremost I turn the wheel for those who
have been killed in armed conflict, famine, natural disasters, stupid
politics, or acts of cruelty. I also turn the wheel for anyone who died
alone and unmourned, so that they may have one person who wishes them well.*
* *
*The over 3000 American casualties, the Coalition casualties, and the
unknown, only guessed at Iraqi casualties – perhaps as many as half a
million people -- in the second Iraqi war. I hope someone, somewhere, has to
answer for this. If you're American and you're tired of this, get out and
vote next week.*
