Woman stabs self during Wiccan ritual - Weird news - MSNBC.com

LEBANON, Ind. - A woman accidentally stabbed herself in the foot with a 3-foot-long sword while performing a Wiccan good luck ritual at a cemetery in central Indiana.

Katherine Gunther, 36, of Lebanon, pierced her left foot with the sword while performing the rite at Oak Hill Cemetery, police said.

Gunther said she was performing the ceremony to give thanks for a recent run of good luck. The ceremony involves the use of candles, incense and driving swords into the ground during the full moon.
Gunther said was aiming to put the sword in the ground, but hit her foot instead.

"It wasn't the first time I performed the ritual, but it was the first time I put a sword through my foot," she said.

Gunther immediately pulled the sword out of her foot, and her companions took her to Witham Memorial Hospital, where she was kept a couple days for treatment.

No charges were filed, police said. The Wiccans were warned that being in the cemetery in the city about 20 miles northwest of Indianapolis after posted visiting hours constitutes trespassing.

Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons.

Good thing they werent using crossbows for guns!

I would hate to think what might of happened if it was a "bad luck" ritual.

Guess we should ban swords or at least witches.

+1 Red Hat!

Also anyone else find it kinda funny that they say:
"Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons."

But the ritual she was performing involved stabbing the earth with swords???

Let me begin by welcoming you to USA Carry. I hope you have enjoyed the site and continue to enjoy it.

Next, I apologize in advance if there are any Wiccans reading this who get offended, but I have always felt that the Wiccan "religion" is a cult and a farce. Furthermore, they are just friggin' weird.

Hey there is only one thing worse than a Wiccan, and that is a stupid Wiccan.

What a shame that people exercise their freedom to choose the religion they follow. Maybe some religious PC guidelines would help the poor misguided Wiccans...
