The year 2020 brought with it a wave of unprecedented events and challenges, and one topic that seemed to capture the attention of the world was witchcraft. While witches and witchcraft have long been a part of folklore and mythologies across cultures, the year 2020 saw a resurgence of interest and fascination with this ancient practice. One reason for the increased interest in witchcraft in 2020 could be attributed to the global pandemic. With people facing uncertainty, fear, and isolation, many turned to spirituality and alternative practices for solace and guidance. Witchcraft, with its rituals, spells, and connection to nature, offered a sense of control and empowerment during a time when everything felt out of control. Moreover, in an era of increasing social and political turmoil, witchcraft took on a new significance.
Sasanqua Camellias for Fall & Winter Color
Native to Japan and slightly lesser-known than Camellia japonica, Sasanqua Camellias are fall and winter-blooming (October through January, depending on the cultivar), broadleaf evergreen shrubs that are generally hardy to USDA Zones 7–9. Although each flower only lasts a few days, bloom time spans 6 weeks or more with flowers that are often fragrant and usually in single or semi-double form.
Moreover, in an era of increasing social and political turmoil, witchcraft took on a new significance. The feminist movement, with its emphasis on female empowerment and reclaiming ancient wisdom, intersected with the rise of witchcraft. Modern witches self-identify as feminist and use witchcraft as a tool to challenge patriarchal structures and promote gender equality.
Caring for Sasanqua Camellias
These camellias grow slightly faster than the japonica species and have smaller leaves. They prefer filtered sunlight or protection from hot morning or afternoon sun, though mature plants may be tolerant of more sun. They are best grown in areas with some shelter or protection from cold, drying winds in well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Mulching the root zone can help retain soil moisture and winter hardiness, and supplemental watering from July to September during flower bud formation may increase flower size and quantity. Camellia plants are considered somewhat deer resistant—flower buds and petals may be browsed occasionally.
In the age of information and social media, witchcraft found new ways to spread and gain followers. Online communities, blogs, and YouTube channels dedicated to witchcraft flourished in 2020, bringing together individuals from different backgrounds and providing a platform for learning, sharing experiences, and creating a sense of belonging. However, this surge in interest in witchcraft was not without controversy. Many criticized it as a mere trend or a form of cultural appropriation. Critics argue that by adopting elements of witchcraft without fully understanding its historical, cultural, and spiritual significance, people are disrespecting and diluting the practice. In conclusion, the year 2020 witnessed a renewed fascination and interest in witchcraft. Whether as a source of solace, a tool for empowerment, or a means of challenging social norms, witchcraft found its place in the cultural zeitgeist. As with any popular trend, there were both supporters and detractors, highlighting the complex and evolving nature of this ancient practice in the modern world..
