A hip hop witch is a term that combines elements of both hip hop culture and witchcraft. It refers to individuals who practice witchcraft or follow pagan beliefs, while also incorporating hip hop music, fashion, and other cultural elements into their practices. Hip hop, as a cultural movement, emerged in the 1970s in the South Bronx, New York City. It encompasses various forms of artistic expression, including music, dance, fashion, and visual arts. Hip hop culture has often been associated with activism, self-expression, and rebellion, making it a fitting platform for individuals who want to blend it with their spiritual practices. Witchcraft, on the other hand, is a practice that involves connecting with nature, harnessing energy, and performing spells or rituals for various purposes.

1959 Ford Galaxie
This 59 Sunliner (convertible, not the hard top retractable) had significant sentimental value to my parents Wally and Elly Tupper. They were married in 1957 and although my mom was REALLY the car nut my dad sure didn't mind. The first new car they ordered as a couple was a car exactly like this car. They LOVED the car and it really sparked a tradition where my mom would pick out the color of the cars they had and my dad picked out make/model. Needless to say they had 62 years together owning red Fords and it all started with this car. This particular car was found by my dad in 1993 out west. It is a FULLY optioned 59 with every single item you could get. The top engine 332 CID, police lights, chrome fender skirts and even factory A/c on a convertible along with the wiz bang late 50's continental kit for the spare. A true classic from the late 50's of American style and flash. Interestingly, my youngest daughter Karinda loves this car the most of all the cars and wants it.
They may also infuse their beliefs and practices with messages of social justice and empowerment, drawing from hip hop's history of addressing social issues and fighting against oppression. The concept of a hip hop witch is not strictly defined and can vary from person to person. Some may see it as a way to merge their love for hip hop culture with their spiritual beliefs, while others may view it as a means of reclaiming and reframing traditional witchcraft within a contemporary context. Overall, the term hip hop witch represents the ways in which individuals can integrate multiple cultural influences into their spiritual practices, finding inspiration and empowerment through the intersection of hip hop and witchcraft. It reflects a contemporary adaptation of ancient beliefs and traditions, allowing individuals to express their spirituality in a way that resonates with their own personal experiences and cultural backgrounds..
