                  All  sentient  beings have  the  Right to  worship Whom
             What,  Where, WHen,  Why, and  How they  wish; provided that
             they  do  not  violate  the similar  Rights  of  others. All
             Sentient  beings have,  as well,  the Right  (some would say
             Duty)  to develop  their Talents,  mental, physical, psychic
             and  others  to  the highest  degree  possible;;  subject as
             always  to the equal Rights of others. It is in this comples
             interplay  of Rights that  the Children of  the Aquarian Age
             may be distinguished from their ancestors of previous Ages.
                  According to Astrological Tradition, the term "Aquarian
             Age" implies a time in which there is increased concern with
             the  ways in which the individual can live by his or her own
             lights,  while guaranteeing the same  Freedom to all others.
             All those, therefore, who work for the greatest Evolution of
             Consciousness  and Freedom may be justly called "Aquarians,"
             regardless of the day or year of their actual birth.
                  Aquarians  - Neo-Pagan,  Neo-Christian, Agnostic  or of
             any  Faith  - are  by  definition tolerant  of  ALL Pro-life
             Beliefs and Organizations. They do not procaim the existence
             of  any One-True-Right-And-Only-Way,  but rather  that every
             Sentient Being must find his or her own Path.
                  We  will NOT, however, in the  name of Tolerance or any
             other ideal allow ourselves to be persecuted or exterminated
             by Anti-Life individuals or organizations, whether political
             or religious.
                  As  Aquarians  we do  NOT,  in our  religious services,
             magical rituals, psychic activities or in our private lives,
             engage  in the commission or encouragement of Felony-Crimes-
             With-Victims   (as   defined   by  Civil   Law   and  modern
             sociological  research).  We  do NOT,  therefore,  engage in
             Ritual  Murder,  Rape,  Maiming, Torture  of  Animals, Grand
             Larceny,  or  other Heinous  Crimes; and  we will  no longer
             accept accusations that we do so.
                  Neither  do Aquarians  use their  Talents -  Whether we
             call  them "psychic,"  "magical," "spiritual," "paranormal,"
             or whatever - to achieve ends or through means that, if done
             physically,   would   constitute   such  Felony-Crimes-With-
             Victims.  Accusations in  this area will  not go uncountered
             either.
                  We know full well that the New Witchburners are seeking
             to ance again light the Stakes of Persecution with the Fires
             of  Bigotry and Hate. Equally well  do we know that, despite
             our  innumerable differences with one  another, the Time has
             come for us to stand Together against the forces of Fear and
             Oppression. The very survival of ourselves, our children and
             our planet depend upon the outcome of our present struggles.
                  The  Aquarian Anti-Defamation League will exist for the
             purpose  of defending  Aquarian Individuals  and Ideals from
             those  Witchburners who would destroy them. We shall attempt












             to  use whatever means exist to preserve, protect and defend
             our Religious, Civil, Economic, and Human Rights, as well as
             our  Reputations, from  ALL those who  would slander, libel,
             defame, suppress or otherwise persecute us for our Beliefs.
                  We  shall no  longer allow  self-righteous followers of
             Anti-Life  Beliefs to prevent  us from the  free exercise of
             our  Human  and Constitutional  Rights.  We shall  no longer
             allow  anyone with impunity to publically accuse us of being
             "Satanists,"  "Devil Worshippers,"  "Charlatans," "Lunatics"
             or  any other loaded terms of  slander and libel designed to
             denigrate,  defame  or prevent  us  from peaceful  and legal
             spreading  of our  Beliefs. We  shall no  longer hesitate to
             bring  Civil  and/or Criminal  charges against  our would-be
             Inquisitors  whenever  possible,  no matter  how  wealthy or
             powerful they may be.
