'We live in very dangerous times,' said Hawk, a Pagan woman who describes being a warrior as central to her path -- and who feels frustrated at the attitudes held by some non-military Pagans. 'Pagan warriors are working very hard to keep our people safe and our borders protected. Many times, in fact, most of the time, not only is it a thankless duty, but it's also frowned upon by many in our own magickal community.'

JoAnn Lyman, whose husband has served in the army for 15 years, embraces the warrior concept as a metaphor for personal responsibility. 'Everyone is a warrior in their own sense. I may not wield a rifle, sword, ax, or any other recognized weapon; but I know that I am responsible for my actions... A warrior will weigh what has to be done and what people want done, then do what they know is the right thing for that time.'
-- Elizabeth Dwoskin
