News Policies: CUEW does not endorse any political party or policies, and will only list stories that directly dicuss Wicca, the Wiccan experience, Paganism and the Pagan experience and Abrahamic and secular holidays and inter religious conflicts that shed light upon the workings of Wicca or religion in general.
I have started doing this in response to UEWWies who have wished for news items without certain distractions. When the news stories are not particularly illuminating in general, they will go in a weekly digest.
