Something tells me that I've asked this before, but the 48 year old memory section of my brain is tired tonite, sooooooo :oops: About 5 years ago I read an article on the different rations for, among others, halal, muslim, kosher, and Wiccan. I recall the other catagories but cannot remember the Wiccan contents. Does anyone know what a Wiccan-acceptable ration would consist of? Something tells me it would contain certain herbal-based items but not sure. Thanks for any information.

"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

Thanks for replies, lol! Actually I did look up some stuff and talked to a couple military friends of mine who have studied the whole Wiccan culture, and from what they've told me, Wiccan-acceptable MREs (and they do exist) consist mainly of fruit and vegetable-based entrees without any meat since a common belief of Wicca apparently prohibits the eating of any dead animal in any way, shape or form. If/when I get more info about this, I'll post it.

I talked with two friends of mine, one of them is a "practicing Wiccan" and he told me that he's not even sure what Wiccan acceptable rations would consist of besides more fruit and vegetable-based entrees than regular MREs, but also Wiccan-acceptable rations would likely be in the way that the entrees are processed and prepared, similar in concept to kosher and halal rations but obviously not similar requirements. Another friend of mine who served in a MI unit during the cold war, had the job of helping to determine what possible military applications there were for psychic phenomena and witchcraft, and he told me pretty much the same thing, that the Wiccan MREs are probably prepared with certain dietary restrictions based on beliefs.
