A post on the Conaidhm Paganach (PFI) Facebook page left little doubt about the sincerity of the original response. ‘Pagan Federation Ireland operates a zero tolerance approach to racism and homophobia, both of which were abundantly clea rin the initial communication,’ reads the post.
‘Your values, as stated here on your website – https://odinia.org/what-are-values/– are incompatible with ours. If your religious beliefs or practices incorporate either racism or homophobia, then you will not find a home here.
‘As you seem to wish to make some sort of political issue of this,’ the reply continues, ‘might we suggest the following: for a proven donation of €10 to any Irish Pagan organisation…we will send you a signed copy of the statement on headed notepaper. Laminated if you wish.We will also send you permission to distribute the letter, in its complete form only, as widely as you wish.
‘The €10 will cover two copies of the letter, one of which we will have framed and put on the office wall, lest we ever forget.’
