This day stands out in my mind. I found this last year while out hiking. I have to admit I had no idea what I was about to come across. I had to come home and do a bunch of research.. Here is a little of what I found out.
Wiccan is a religion also known as, “The Craft,” “Wicca,” The Old Religion,” “Benevolent Witchcraft,” is a diverse and decentralized religion dating back to around 30,000 years ago and is still in practice today with groups practicing various forms of the Wiccan Religion and other Nature Spiriuality paths throughout the United States and around the world.
I found out that they love and respect nature and seek to live in harmony with the rest of the eco-sphere. Many have personal communication and friendships with various animals, plants and other life forms.
Many traditions hold a belief in the five classical elements. The five elements which are: Spirit, Air, Water, Earth and Fire. Four are depicted below in some of the photos. Take a look..
The one below I believe is Air, showing a feather.
The one below is for Water. It had a small amount of water in the cup.
The one below is Earth as there was dirt in this.
This one was for Fire.
There was also this..
I left everything untouched and undisturbed. A very interesting find for sure. Hope you enjoy the photos.
oh yea
Yes it was. I kept looking over my shoulder. Sure you don’t want to go see that abandoned place now? haha. Thank you for you comment.
How interesting… We don’t see that here!
I like to believe I am one with nature, but I can imagine it can be scary to come across it without knowing anything about it beforehand… Thank you for enlightening us! 🙂
Excellent post and interesting pictures. I knew a person that practiced this. Yes, it’s an old practice — it’s pagan.
Thank you, and yes it is very old.
beautiful
Thank you
i met many wiccans on the internet as well as in real life. they are into nature and the earth.
I thought while reading the information that they live the way my ancestors did. I am half native american. At one with nature.
Many people confuse Wicca with Satanism. There is nothing to fear in a 30000 year old religion that focuses on nature. Satanism is a bigger worry mainly because its adherents are frequently mentally disturbed.
Exactly, and I hope I did a good job of explaining that Paul. Id hate to offend anyone.
What an interesting lesson you learned and shared!
I thought so, thanks so much
Definitely scary! Great shots though!
Thank you Michelle, I appreciate it.

lol thanks Gina, I don’t know about fun, but scary for sure, until I got home and started reading about it.
