Skull, bones found in cauldron
*sigh* I don't know which I've found more annoying - that a "practicing Pagan" would confuse Paganism and Wicca, or that it's immediately assumed that this is Pagans rather than, say, "Anti-Christians."
Skull, bones found in cauldron:
By Danée Attebury
A human skull in a black cauldron as well as other unusual items that may have been part of a religious ritual were uncovered by police Thursday in Conowingo. Several local residents discovered the site while walking through a wooded area near the 500 block of Belle Manor Road at about 2 p.m. They called Maryland State Police, said Detective Sgt. Steve Seipp. The skull was inside one of two black cauldrons at the scene. Police also found two human thigh bones, a plastic skull, animal jaw bones, turtle shells, feathers, purple and red cloth, toy handcuffs, crosses and a small statue resembling a totem pole, Seipp said.
Although police described the finding as a possible "pagan ritual" Iris Dickerson, an Elkton resident and practicing pagan, said the finding does not sound like a pagan ritual. She said real pagans do not use human bones or hurt animals in their religious practices. "You do what you will, but you harm none" she said. "There's definitely nothing demonic."
