As a Jew, this is something for which I am sadly acquainted. I am also aware of the "witch hysteria" we see in this country from time to time, sometimes it is masked as 'anti-Satanism'. Could it have been a ritual? Of course! It doesn't mean it is something from Wicca or any other pagan group. People can create their own rituals, some which have jack to do with the religion, only their interpretation of it; one only needs to look to the 'major' religions to see that truth.
