A Wiccan is a follower of the neo-pagan religion known as Wicca. Wicca emerged in the mid-20th century and is now renowned for its focus on nature, magic, and the worship of a goddess and god. Wiccans believe in the existence of multiple deities, with a primary emphasis on a goddess who represents the feminine divine and a god who symbolizes the masculine divine. The practice of Wicca varies among individuals and covens, which are organized Wiccan groups. However, common elements often include ritual ceremonies, spellcasting, and the observance of holidays and phases of the moon. Wiccans regard the cycles of nature as sacred and participate in rituals that celebrate the changing seasons and honor the natural world.
Lana Del Rey confirms in a new interview that she instructed her fans to join a mass occult ritual against President Donald Trump.

explaining more of my spotify playlists // ft. my elite taste in music ‹𝟹
h-hey there. it’s a new year!😅 and it’s been quite good so far. the first couple weeks was just studying, and exams.. and 9th grade came to an end. the beginning of 10th, it’s kind of a huge deal here ’cause this year is when we write the public exam.
so, i think it’s safe to say that our teachers have succeeded in the task of stressing us out even more, by giving lectures on how hectic this year will be, how if we don’t study everyday, we won’t get “good” marks and how these exams are sO important for our future. the list goes on.😵
i mean, i can agree that grades matter to some extent, but it’s not really worth throwing everything else away. i mean, we’re all just teenagers and we kind of.. yk, wanna have a life. and do things we actually want to do. but hey, it’s just another day in today’s messed-up education system.
anyway– i’ll save the ranting for later. today, is a sequel to this post where i talked about my playlists on spotify. i seriously have an obsession with creating playlists, and just listening to music in general. but, at least it gives me some content for my blog..right?
so, up-to-date, i have like 33 playlists. here’s some of them e x p l a i n e d.
♪･῾☆ perfection
okayy this is one of my absolute favorites. i just LOVE the vibes of this. i was listening to the neighborhood, and chase atlantic – and wanted a whole playlist that had songs with the same vibe of these bands. and then it was created – i searched for similar playlists and added songs from those also.
there’s not specific words i can use to explain these songs. (iconic. immaculate. perfection.) you’d just have to listen and see :))
favs: i wanna be yours, sick thoughts, national anthem.
♪･῾☆ dark academia
let’s move beside the fact that i copied someone else’s playlist and just talk about THIS AESTHETIC. dark academia is my favourite aesthetic, and eveything associated with it – the style, the music, the beautiful castles, sculptures, libraries, arts, eveything – is incredible. and i wanted a playlist that was the embodiment of all that.
i think i’ve come to appreciate classical music as well – it is so lovely and.. melodious. so, half of this playlist is classical, then modern dark academia music.
favs: young and beautiful, the night we met, reflections.
♪･῾☆ escaping vecna
( without a doubt, any song from one direction’s FOUR or made in the AM would save me from vecna. these songs are so precious to me and i will continue to stan 1D till the end
so, this is a stranger things themed playlist. when you’re under vecna’s curse, music can be used as a way to escape. it’s also a form of therapy. soo, it might be your favorite song, or any song you really.. associate yourself with. in general, this is a really cool idea for a playlist :))
favs: infinity, summertime sadness, august.
♪･῾☆ oldies
this playlist was originally “my dad’s music taste” but i changed it to “oldies”. (should i leave it like that or change it back?) this is also one of my favourites. music from the 70s, 80s, 90s just don’t compare to modern music. most of these are hidden gems that are absolute bangers😌
i also need more songs to be added here, so please give me some recommendations x
favs: kryptonite, billie jean, everybody wants to rule the world.
♪･῾☆ how many nights does it take to count the stars?
this is another sad playlist. i had no idea what to name then, but i picked this lyric from infinity by one direction – and that was perfect. “how many nights does it take to count the stars? that’s the time it would take to fix my heart”.
in a nutshell, this has songs that are physically painful to listen to. and it’s nice to cry along to, or just fall asleep listening. either way, you gotta have a good sad songs playlist :))
favs: falling, partners in crime, i don’t wanna watch the world end with someone else.
♪･῾☆ confidence is key
one of the more recent ones i’ve created! it’s a confidence boost playlist. and the songs here, as you can probably tell, are a vibe. (the cover is also a really cool edit of a power-puff girl😁) the songs here are upbeat, cheery, and are sure to boost your serotonin. and yeah, that’s pretty much it.
favs: little black dress, false god, still into you.
♪･῾☆ high achiever, don't you see?
the title is from “are you satisfied?” by MARINA. “high achiever, don’t you see? baby, nothing comes for free. they say i’m a control freak – driven by a greed to succeed.” i saw a playlist like this on youtube and wanted to recreate it. a playlist for burnt-out, gifted and high achieving people who value academic validation. and yeah, it’s quite a playlist, i’d say. quite unique as well.
favs: primadonna, this is me trying, line without a hook.
♪･῾☆ the end of an era
this playlist is the quintessence of the feeling you get after your favourite series ends, or just when it’s the end of something that really mattered to you. i don’t exactly remember which event i created this for, but i’m glad i did :)) it’s a really comforting playlist in general. it was also inspired by this playlist – “it’s over and that’s ok” .
also, i discovered Lord Huron’s music a couple weeks or so ago, and it’s ..ethereal.. that’s one way to describe it. but i love “ends of the earth” :))
favs: setting sun, where’d all the time go?, two ghosts.
whew, that was one LONG post. but i always love writing posts about music, and talking about my playlists. i also have a bunch of others i haven’t mentioned here, so check out my spotify as well~
thank you so much for reading!! ❤ how’s your week been so far? how alike is our taste in music? let’s talk in the comments!

Wiccans place a significant emphasis on personal responsibility and ethical conduct. They adhere to the Wiccan Rede, which states, "An it harm none, do what ye will," encouraging individuals to act in a way that avoids causing harm to oneself or others. Many Wiccans also follow the Threefold Law, which suggests that any energy put forth, positive or negative, will return to the sender with three times the intensity. Wicca is an inclusive religion that embraces all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. It encourages freedom of thought, allowing individuals to develop their personal relationship with the divine. While some Wiccans practice solitary, others gather in covens to worship and learn from one another. Overall, Wicca is a diverse and spiritually fulfilling path that encourages the celebration of nature, the pursuit of personal growth, and the recognition of ancient pagan traditions. As a Wiccan, one seeks to find harmony with the divine, cultivate positive energy, and live in accordance with the cycles of nature..
Reviews for "Wicca and Nature: A Deep Connection"
1. Emily - 2 out of 5 stars
As someone who is interested in learning about different religious practices, I was curious to read "What's a Wiccan". However, I was quite disappointed with the book. The author seemed to have a biased view towards Wicca, portraying it as a frivolous and unimportant belief system. There was a lack of depth in exploring the core principles and practices of Wicca, and instead, the book focused more on debunking myths and misconceptions without providing substantial information. Overall, I found this book to be uninformative and not up to the mark for anyone interested in gaining knowledge about Wicca.
2. John - 1 out of 5 stars
"What's a Wiccan" is one of the most poorly written books I've come across. The author's tone throughout the entire book is condescending and dismissive towards Wicca. Instead of presenting an unbiased view, the author constantly derides Wicca as a silly and irrelevant belief system. The lack of research and depth is evident in every chapter, making it clear that the author did not take the subject matter seriously. I would not recommend this book to anyone who is genuinely interested in understanding Wicca or practicing it.
3. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars
I had high hopes for "What's a Wiccan," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The book lacked organization and clarity, making it difficult to follow along or grasp the concepts being discussed. It felt like the author was trying to cover too much ground without delving into any topic in sufficient detail. Additionally, there was a noticeable bias against Wicca, with the author dismissing it as nothing more than a fad. Overall, I found this book to be a shallow and poorly executed attempt at discussing Wicca, and I would not recommend it to others seeking a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
4. Michael - 1 out of 5 stars
"What's a Wiccan" is filled with inaccuracies and stereotypes about Wicca. The author appears to have a superficial understanding of the religion and presents misinformation as facts. It is disheartening to see such a poorly researched book being published, as it only further perpetuates misconceptions about Wicca. I would advise readers to seek more reputable sources if they want to learn about Wicca, as this book is highly misleading and misinformed.
