Touche, I forgot you had he and his corn cob pipe immortalized in your avatar.
Oh, and to be clear, I don't personally care what symbol someone wants on their tombstone, I would allow it. I am (partially) playing devils advocate here, and partially seriously arguing that it is hard to claim something so preposterous as Wicca as a real religion.
As Douglas Adams said so eloquently: "I don’t accept the currently fashionable assertion that any view is automatically as worthy of respect as any equal and opposite view. My view is that the moon is made of rock. If someone says to me “Well, you haven’t been there, have you? You haven’t seen it for yourself, so my view that it is made of Norwegian Beaver Cheese is equally valid” - then I can’t even be bothered to argue"
Of course, he was talking about religion in general, but I think it is equally appropriate here.
