Wiccan Katherine Gunther of Lebanon, Indiana (not pictured here) was injured while performing a ritual at Oak Hill Cemetery. Despite the setting , Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons.
The ceremony involved candles, incense, and the driving of a sword into the ground during the full moon. When Gunther was performing the highpoint of the ritual, she raised the sword then plunged it into her foot - truly a dramatic touch.
The irony? The ceremony is performed to give thanks for a run of good luck, something which seems fleeting at best.
