PHOTOS: Witches abound at JBSA-Lackland

SAN ANTONIO -- Atreiyuh Cammen is more than 4,000 miles away from his home in Alaska. He's a basic military trainee at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. His faith, however, is just a heartbeat away.

Cammen is a witch.

"There's nothing wrong with Wicca," he said.

The 19-year-old became a witch five years ago after being a religious wanderer. He said fantasy books and the Harry Potter phenomenon fueled his interest in the Wiccan faith.

"I thought I'd be able to fly around and things like," he said of his pre-witch days.

But Cammen went deeper. He found a faith fulfilling to him.

I'm a witch of sorts. Mainly by extension. I've participated in the initiation ritual for novices but not as the novice. I never felt I needed the ceremony. I do keep company with a real witch. She has been my spiritual advisor, mentor and confidant, for hmmm, since
1976.
I learned to read mother-peace tarot cards from her. For starters.
