In light of todays tragic and horrific events that took place at Sandy Brook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut I would like to ask any and all of you regardless of your spiritual beliefs or faiths if you would take the time to pray for the innocent children and people who died during the school shooting and also pray for the lives of everyone involved including the survivors and the heroic men and women who aided in the situation.
The kind of tragedy that took place today is unimaginably devastating to the entire world and although this event does not reflect all of the horrible and reprehensible events that have occurred in the past where innocent lives were lost, it is still a reality that we have to live with and endure for all time. Let us not forget this hanus crime but also let us come together and be there in whatever ways we can to be supportive and ensure that things like this will not be tolerated or ignored by the people of this country nor people of the pagan and magical community.
With that said I ask that each of you take time to light a candle in honor, respect, justice, and remembrance of the children and people who lost their lives today and if care to join me I will be hosting a blessing and prayers for all those involved today followed by an hour of silence.
The blessing and prayers will be conducted individually by myself and my local community and I ask for you all to host and conduct the same in your local groups, covens, communities etc. The hour of silence is scheduled for 3 pm Pacific Time for those of you that wish to participate and I thank each and everyone of you who do.
I agree - its just horrific, its all over the news here in the uk too, it is my worst nightmare when my kids go to school and here its like goldust getting a gun.
Thoughts are with the families of those killed and injured absolutely devastating.
It's very disappointing that such a tragedy has happened. Friends lost friends, and parents lost children. This will live on in their minds until their own deaths and it's just saddening knowing that they have no choice in the matter.
I pray the families keep fighting and that they don't give up. I pray they stay strong and that whatever deity, be it Gaia, God, Zeus, or whomever, I pray that they're watched over and protected in this time of need. What had happened, they did not deserve to go through this, but they do deserve our care and sympathy.
My love and prayers go out to every family tonight.
My sincerest apologies as I have spelled the name of the school that was attacked today due to the lack of pronounciation on the news. It is Sandy Hook Elementary School. Our warmest blessings and prayers will never console the grief and pain the people will have to struggle with but hopefull that and our love shines a light during there dark and terrible times.

I'll never comphrehend how somebody could commit such a crime. Those poor people didn't have any idea what was going to happen and those children had so much ahead of them which they'll never be able to experience now. I'll definitely have their families on my mind tonight.
I feel horrible ever since I've heard about it. I don't know who would kill children in elementary school.. They are the most innocent things.
May they rest in peace and my condolences to their families.
