Which tribe?
It's gross and racist to make stuff up about native americans to add to your woowoo wicca stories.

Wicca was started as a sex cult by Gerald Gardener a 100 years ago, and it was based almost entierly off a book of complete pulled-from-her-arse bullshit about witch cults in western europe by Margaret Murray.

Do you know what happens when you put lemons in salt? The juices get sucked out and you get preserved lemons. Lemons contain 20% more water than humans but the result would be the same.

If you know wicca is stupid bullshit, stop sharing bad creepypasta about it.
