(Londonderry Sentinel) A full time pagan priest wants the theft of a statue of the Irish God of the Sea Manannán Mac Lír to be treated as a hate crime.
Patrick Carberry, who says he left his job as a chef to become a full time "Traditional Celtic Shamanic priest," said the theft of the statue was a religious hate crime committed against people of his faith.
