Wicca is a contemporary pagan religious movement that emerged in the mid-20th century in the United Kingdom. It was developed by a retired civil servant named Gerald Gardner, who claimed to have been initiated into a secret coven of witches. Gardner popularized the term "Wicca" to describe the religion he practiced, which was initially known as "Witchcraft" or "the Craft". The origins of Wicca can be traced back to a variety of sources, including folk magic and witchcraft practices in Europe, the writings of various occult scholars, and the influence of ceremonial magic and witchcraft traditions such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Gardner drew upon these influences to develop a distinct religious and magical system that would become the foundation of modern Wicca. In 1954, Gardner published a book titled "Witchcraft Today," which provided a comprehensive overview of his newly developed religion.

COLORBLAZE® Newly Noir™ Plectranthus

(Coleus) One of the hottest selling foliage plants we carry is the COLORBLAZE® Coleus family. COLORBLAZE® Newly Noir™ features deep purple, near-black foliage with a heavy texture and serrated edges. Growing 2- 3 ½ feet tall and spreading up to 3 feet wide, COLORBLAZE® Newly Noir™ can be planted in full sun to shade locations. Growing tip… the more sun it gets the more stunning the coloration! If you are in an area with low humidity, we recommend part to full shade. This easy-to-grow annual is primarily used for foliage interest. The COLOR BLAZE® family of Coleus has been bred to bloom late in the season and requires no pinching to achieve full plants. To keep the foliage as the main attraction, you may pinch off any flowers that may emerge. The upright habit of COLORBLAZE® Newly Noir™ Coleus makes this a perfect addition to the landscape as well as a filler/ thriller in containers. Be sure to use a large container, as these do get big. We recommend fertilizing with a water-soluble fertilizer every couple of weeks to keep them looking fabulous from spring until the first frost.

ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ Coleus' attractive serrated pointy leaves remain burgundy in color with distinctive chartreuse edges and tinges of purple throughout the year on a plant with an upright spreading habit of growth.

ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ Coleus is an herbaceous annual with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively coarse texture can be used to stand it apart from other garden plants with finer foliage.

This is a relatively low maintenance plant. The flowers of this plant may actually detract from its ornamental features, so they can be removed as they appear. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.

ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ Coleus is recommended for the following landscape applications;

• Mass Planting
• Border Edging
• General Garden Use
• Container Planting
• Hanging Baskets

ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ Coleus will grow to be about 30 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant, individual plants should be spaced approximately 20 inches apart. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat.

This plant does best in partial shade to shade. It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is not particular as to soil pH, but grows best in rich soils. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone over the growing season to conserve soil moisture. This is a selected variety of a species not originally from North America. It can be propagated by cuttings; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.

ColorBlaze® Wicked Witch™ Coleus is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. It is even sizeable enough that it can be grown alone in a suitable container. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Coleus ‘ColorBlaze’ ‘Wicked Witch’ Proven Winners Grande

Deep Burgundy to Chocolate foliage with a ruffled edge outlined in chartreuse with well-branched plants. Sun to shade tolerant and great in both landscapes and containers. It is late to bloom, which helps preserve the foliage presentation throughout the season.

Wicca is a nature-centric religion that emphasizes reverence for the Earth and the worship of various goddesses and gods. Its practitioners, known as Wiccans, celebrate the cycles of nature and often perform rituals and spells to honor and work with these natural forces. Wicca also places a strong emphasis on personal autonomy and responsibility, encouraging individuals to take ownership of their spiritual paths and practice magic in a way that is personally meaningful to them. Over the years, Wicca has evolved and diversified, with different traditions and schools of thought emerging within the broader Wiccan community. These include the Gardnerian and Alexandrian traditions, which trace their lineage back to Gardner himself, as well as eclectic and solitary practices that are more individualistic in nature. Today, Wicca is recognized as a legitimate religion in many countries, and its followers can be found throughout the world. It continues to be a vibrant and growing spiritual movement that offers individuals a unique and empowering way to connect with the divine and explore their own spiritual potential..

Reviews for "Wicca and the LGBTQ+ Community: Understanding its Inclusivity"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The History of Wicca". I was expecting a comprehensive and well-researched account of the origins and development of Wicca, but instead, I found the book to be quite superficial. The author seemed to focus more on personal anecdotes and opinions rather than providing solid references and evidence. I also felt that the book lacked in-depth analysis and critical evaluation of the various historical aspects of Wicca. Overall, I found it to be a misleading title, and it did not meet my expectations at all.

2. Sarah - 2 stars - "The History of Wicca" fell short of my expectations. While it offered some general information about the origins of Wicca, it failed to provide any comprehensive analysis or detailed accounts. The author seemed to gloss over significant events and figures, making the historical narrative lacking in substance. Moreover, I found the writing style to be quite dry and unengaging, which made it difficult for me to maintain interest in the subject. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a thorough exploration of the history of Wicca.

3. Mark - 1 star - I regret purchasing "The History of Wicca". This book seemed more like a collection of random facts and mythologies rather than a well-researched account of Wicca's history. The lack of proper sources and references made it hard for me to trust the information presented. Additionally, the author's personal biases and opinions were apparent throughout, which hindered my ability to form an objective understanding of the subject matter. Overall, I found the book to be unconvincing and unreliable as a historical resource.

4. Emily - 2 stars - I was hoping to learn more about the historical foundation of Wicca by reading "The History of Wicca," but unfortunately, it fell short for me. The book lacked a clear structure and failed to provide a cohesive narrative. The author jumped from one topic to another without proper transitions, making it difficult to follow the chronological development of Wicca. Additionally, I would have appreciated a more critical analysis of the historical events instead of just recounting them. Overall, I found the book to be disjointed and lacking in substance.
