Picture Taken and Copyright by R. Bruce W. Laubach Photographer Bruce's Quote - "This was taken at a place called Monument Rocks in western Kansas. While photographing theses formations, I felt compelled to take this image. I bulk load my 35 mm film and when I first saw this back in 1975, I thought it may have been light leaks or static charges on the film, but what makes this one intriguing is that it was several frames into the roll. And after scanning the negative I was able to zoom in on the image and I got more of an impression of body shapes than random streaks. If you look closely at some of them it looks like feathered headresses."

The Bricket Wood Coven, or Hertfordshire Coven Was a coven of Gardnerian witches founded in the 1940s by Gerald Gardner. It was notable for being the first coven in the Gardnerian line, though having its supposed origins in the pre-Gardnerian New Forest coven. The coven formed after Gardner bought the Fiveacres Country Club, a naturist club in the village of Bricket Wood, Hertfordshire, southern England, and met within the club's grounds. It played a significant part in the history of the neopagan religion of Wicca. Courtesy Info Wiki
