The inception of the witch wiki occurred as a response to the growing interest and fascination with witchcraft and witch-related topics. With the rising popularity of books, movies, and television shows centered around witches, there was a need for a comprehensive and reliable source of information on the subject. The witch wiki aimed to provide a centralized hub for people to learn about various aspects of witchcraft, including its history, practices, and different traditions. It aimed to debunk myths and misconceptions surrounding witches and provide accurate information that is backed by research and credible sources. One of the main reasons behind the creation of the witch wiki was to foster a sense of community among witches and those interested in witchcraft. The wiki platform allowed for collaboration and contributed articles, enabling people from different backgrounds and experiences to share their knowledge and insights.

Artemis' Curse: Archanea and Beyond
I wrote a bit about this in EPFE the other day but wanted to expand on it a little more in a thread.
Replaying Shadow Dragon for the first time since release, I came across a story I'd forgotten. Upon losing her chance of happiness with Camus, Princess Nyna tells Marth the story of Artemis' Curse. Princess Artemis loved the hero Anri, but because he was below her station, they couldn't be together in the end. In her sadness, Artemis placed a curse the Fire Emblem. When the Fire Emblem changes hands, says Nyna, "it will be the death of love."
In Shadow Dragon it's quite clear when the curse repeats: Nyna tells the story in response to losing Camus, and the game's finale, which is otherwise about the love between Marth and Caeda, will be renamed "Artemis' Curse" if the player has let Caeda die (you monster).
There are a few things every Fire Emblem story contains: war (which brings death), love, and a powerful mcguffin known as the Fire Emblem. Naturally all these elements tend to entangle each other as the story progresses. The war has to do with the Fire Emblem changing hands, and the war tears families and lovers apart. So, could it be that Artemis' Curse extends beyond its original timeline?
Tellius: Fan theory suggests these games may be chronologically first, meaning it's possible they predate the time Artemis laid the curse. However, Lehran's Medallion seems to bring about the death of love throughout its history. FE9-10
Elibe: When Queen Hellene of Bern finally parts with the Fire Emblem, sending Eliwood to the Shrine of Seals for Durandal, Lycia's future is saved. However, the Bernese royal family is doomed to break apart despite the king and queen's agreement to live as a family again. And FE7
FE6 follows the Bernese royals' intractably deadly conflict to its conclusion; the triumph of Guinevere, a near-expy of Princess Nyna, means the end of her beloved brother.
Jugdral: Hoo boy. Velthomer drama is at the core of this conflict, and the death of love is all over the place. (Talking about 4 cause I haven't played 5.) FE4 There's practically nothing BUT the death of love in this game. And where's the Fire Emblem?
Magvel: A fairly simple one. Eirika and Ephraim's quest is to reclaim the stones of the Fire Emblem from their various scattered locations. This quest has only one endgame: a fight to the death with their lifelong best friend.
Ylisse: Archanea's direct descendant plays out Artemis' Curse almost as clearly as its ancestor continent did. In Lucina's future, Validar's first attempt to steal the Fire Emblem is successful, and with it the murder of Emmeryn, who exists as a symbol of peace and Jesus-style love. Awakening The other key event that kicks off the bad future, one of the first and most important scenes in the game, is Chrom's death at the hands of his best friend and/or lover. Awakening
Fatesland: Spoilers All
So, perhaps this is a tinfoil hat-type analysis, but it seems to me that what Nyna calls Artemis' Curse sticks to the Fire Emblem far beyond its original timeline. The series is always about war, always about love, and always about the Fire Emblem changing hands, so the cycle is always repeating.
It also provided resources for individuals interested in becoming witches, offering guidance on how to start their magical journey and connect with like-minded individuals. The witch wiki became a go-to source for researchers, practitioners, and curious individuals seeking reliable information on witchcraft. Its success and popularity led to the development of sister websites and forums dedicated to specific aspects of witchcraft, catering to different interests and needs within the community. In conclusion, the inception of the witch wiki was driven by a growing interest in witchcraft and the need for a reliable and comprehensive source of information on the subject. It aimed to foster a sense of community and collaboration while providing accurate information on various aspects of witchcraft. Today, the witch wiki continues to serve as a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about witchcraft or connecting with the witching community..
