Tech. Sgt. Robert Longcrier uses white sage to consecrate a Pagan worship area on the hill overlooking the Cadet Chapel and the Visitor Center just after sunrise on the winter solstice Dec. 21, 2009, at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Colo. The chapel is scheduled to officially designate the circle as a Pagan chapel during a dedication ceremony in March 2010. Sergeant Longcrier is the Pagan lay leader at the Academy.
