Cache Info: This is a medium sized plastic ammunition container.

Notice the large open space enclosed on three sides by vertical rock faces. It is a former Wiccan religious site. The vertical rock faces were painted with colorful astronomical images. In 2002, the painted images were camouflaged with paint that blended with the natural rock colors.

In the late 1900’s, local people complained that devil worshipers were meeting at Arabia Mountain. This was far from the truth.

Wicca is an accepted contemporary religion that is nature based and has the concept of an earth mother goddess. The Wiccan belief system and way of life promotes oneness with the divine and all that exists. It is based on pre-Christian traditions originating in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales

Most Wiccans believe in reincarnation, that the soul comes from the earth goddess and that upon death, the soul returns to the goddess before being reborn again into another life.
