increased social recognition of pagan rights and history

Scotland is moving ahead in this area
we now recognise pagan ceremonies as legitmate for marriage (I assume you still sign the standard certificate but don't have to have a JP overseeing the ceremony)
and just before the scottish parliament receives full rights and scottish fedualism bites the dust in full a baron is using the baron's court to ask the queen for the witches executed in Prestonpans to be granted a full pardon. Apparently scotland got carried away and killed four times (on what measure I don't know) as many. find out more here (sorry don't know lj cut to make it a link.)
