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

According to Fox News, “Katherine Gunther, 36, of Lebanon, pierced her left foot with the sword while performing the rite at Oak Hill Cemetery, police said.”

Gunther claimed she was performing the ceremony to give thanks for a recent run of good luck. The ceremony involves using candles, incense and driving swords into the ground during the full moon.

Although Gunther aimed the sword to hit the ground, she inadvertently stabbed her foot. She immediately pulled the sword out of her foot, and her fellow Wiccans took her to Witham Memorial Hospital, where she had stayed a couple days for treatment.

Gunther is quoted by Fox News as saying, “it wasn’t the first time I performed the ritual, but it was the first time I put a sword through my foot.”

Police said that no charges were filed. However, the Wiccans were warned that being in the cemetery in the city about 20 miles northwest of Indianapolis constitutes trespassing.

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