The US military has built a stone circle in its Air Force academy to give pagans, druids and witches somewhere to practice their religion.
The Colorado base has spent around £50,000 building the Stonehenge-like structure to allow witches to cast spells, and pagans to form "circles of power" by night.
It is situated on top of a wooded hill and includes a fire pit.
The academy says it is for cadets who practice 'Earth based' religions including druids, witches and North American faiths.
Despite the expenses it is believed only three out of the 4,300 cadets have openly admitted that they are pagan.
Bob Barr, a former Republican congressman, campaigned to ban witches from the military, saying: "What's next? Will armoured divisions be forced to travel with sacrificial animals for Satanic rituals? Will Rastafarians demand the inclusion of ritualistic marijuana cigarettes in their rations?"
The Wiccan religion was added to the US Army's chaplain's handbook in the 1970s and includes details on how covens are organised and how Druids worship 'Mother Earth and Father Sky.'
"Most Wiccan groups also practise magic, by which they mean the direction and use of 'psychic energy' those natural but invisible forces which surround all living things," it explains.
The air force says the site is to help to protect the constitutional right to religious freedom.
But some think it is an attempt to attract more Wiccans to the army.

So....this is what freedom of religion looks like.
Great - that’s what I want -to radio a witch on a broom for an air strike...
knew a CPT at basic training who dealt with this in his own company — allowed them time to practice - but not in the woods where they run around naked throwing leaves at each other....
Lightening strike - Lightening strike - Lightening strike ...
oh wait that’s LARP...
“Pagan stone circle built at US Air Force training academy”
“But some think it is an attempt to attract more Wiccans to the army.”
The author clearly knows this ins and outs of the U.S. Military.
Robin Olds is turning in his grave.
moonbats,literally... off in the wild blue yonder
This is no game.
Unless your focus is on Jesus Christ, who is one in the same with the God of Israel, then you are opening yourself to terrible, tormenting, horrific evil.
The consequences of even dabbling in the occult (and believe, me, Pagan stone circles are the occult) are utterly dire.
Looking more and more like the anti-christ to me...
Here it is . . .
It would great for ground attack practice
I don’t see why the military paid for this. If you belong to practically any other religion, you have to go off campus to your place of worship. I know they have services for the “major” denominations at the Air Force chapel, but this is ridiculous.
Ping for later
All that for under 100 grand?
By the pentagon...
I don’t believe it.
So are they going to be flying brooms now at the New Hogwarts Academy?
Off we go into the wild weird yonder
Flying high, don't need a plane...
help me here?

Sure, keep wasting my tax dollars. It’s not like I have any food to buy or utility bills to pay.
Pagans don’t need stone circles, don’t they just worship nature?
Looks more like a site for a circle jerk, or some serious pot smoking.
What TF is the Air Force doing?
Pretty soon they will appoint Hillary Clinton as Secy of the Air Force and give her a golden broom with a minigun on it.
Then they will create the AF’s Witch Wings - the Pelosi Wing; the Wasserman-Schultz Wing; the Schakowsky Red Wing; and the Maxine Waters Wig Wing.
Coming to an air strike near you soon!
