The concept of Power Rangers and the occult is an interesting one. The Power Rangers franchise, which began in the 1990s, revolves around a recurring theme of a group of young individuals who transform into superheroes to fight against evil forces. The show gained immense popularity and has spawned numerous seasons, movies, and merchandise. While the Power Rangers may seem like a simple children's show, some viewers have drawn connections between certain elements of the show and occult symbolism. These theories suggest that there might be hidden occult messages or themes embedded within the storyline or visuals of the series. One aspect that often comes up in discussions about the Power Rangers and the occult is the use of martial arts and mystical powers.
When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she’s a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.
Most of the book focuses on Tea discovering her affinity for the dark while training to become an asha and the trouble politics that come with that responsibility. I have to say the present day Tea is very dark and mysterious and I found her to be the most interesting I want to know what happened to her to make her this way.
One aspect that often comes up in discussions about the Power Rangers and the occult is the use of martial arts and mystical powers. Each season of the show features different Power Rangers with unique abilities and attributes, such as the ability to control elements, teleport, or even harness the power of ancient creatures. These powers are often portrayed as being rooted in ancient traditions or mystical sources, which could be seen as reminiscent of occult practices.
Review: The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco || Slow, but why am I so excited?
The beast raged; it punctured the air with its spite. But the girl was fiercer.
Tea is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy makes her a bone witch, who are feared and ostracized in the kingdom. For theirs is a powerful, elemental magic that can reach beyond the boundaries of the living—and of the human.
Great power comes at a price, forcing Tea to leave her homeland to train under the guidance of an older, wiser bone witch. There, Tea puts all of her energy into becoming an asha, learning to control her elemental magic and those beasts who will submit by no other force. And Tea must be strong—stronger than she even believes possible. Because war is brewing in the eight kingdoms, war that will threaten the sovereignty of her homeland…and threaten the very survival of those she loves.

“Let me be clear: I never intended to raise my brother from his grave, though he may claim otherwise.”
I won’t lie, this books’ cover is a major factor for me picking up this book. I didn’t really know what it was about, which is rare since I do copious amounts of research before I read most things, but I was of course pleasantly surprised. It was a bit slow, but Tea’s story and character arc was what kept me entertained . It didn’t hurt purple prose is my thing… and that food was constantly mentioned…
After raising her brother from the dead at his funeral (I can absolutely imagine the chaos that ensued hehe) Tea is whisked away to train as a bone witch. Since the line of bone witches are dwindling, she needs to train fast, because Daeva’s are popping up left and right.
I did have a somewhat difficult time getting a grasp of the world building, the majority of the story is constricted to one area for Tea’s training, but that lead to limited information given and when information was given, it ended up being infodumped . And I can be lenient of the lack of information, this is a series, but it was something that did snag my interest. However, it’s fine, because I was completely interested in the characters.
“You can be the most powerful witch in the land, but you will always have a weakness, and that will always make you believe you have no power when someone exploits it. There is no greater strength than the ability to understand and accept your own flaws.”
Told in alternating past/ present chapters, I can’t say I was bored . I liked seeing what made present day Tea the person she was while seeing what she was up to in present day. And Tea herself was likable . She was a special snowflake though, which I thought would bother me more I won’t lie it still managed to bothered me .
Her bond with her brother Fox, both familial and other, was really sweet. The way he supported and believed in her was so nice and definitely what she need— he was by far the lighter part of the story . There was also Likh, who is such a great friend. Wanting to be an asha, but can’t because boys aren’t allowed to, being ostracized for his feminine qualities just broke my heart. I thought the was she handled he way she handled masculinity and different kinds of strength was nicely done— I need to know he’s doing fine in the next book.
“Never give your heartglass away to anyone. Anyone else versed in magic can do you harm with it. People will never be what you make of them, but at least your own heart stays yours and true.”
There were so many things in this book interested me. The concept of the heartglasses, people literally wearing their hearts on their chest, the dangers of giving your heartglass to someone you love… it both scared and fascinated me. It also didn’t hurt that Chupeco’s prose led nothing to the imagination. Descriptions were vivid and her prose is seriously beautiful.
The romance in this book is non existent, but Tea does have a little crush… which got on my nerves . Said love interest was just so clueless and ignorant on so many things, I kept thinking you can do better Tea. It also didn’t help that I couldn’t separate their name with another characters name… who I also wasn’t feeling. I know thta’s such a petty thing to be upset over, but on a brighter note— yes I’m excited for book two and I need it now.
I’m happy to say that the romance did not play a HUGE factor in this story, it didn’t take center stage and didn’t take precedence over the plot. Apart from that it wasn’t really developed either, once again I’m assuming it will be explored more in the next book.
Another element that contributes to the association between the Power Rangers and the occult is the presence of magical artifacts or transformative objects. In many seasons, the Power Rangers acquire special items that grant them their powers or allow them to morph into their superhero forms. These objects are sometimes depicted as having ancient origins or being connected to otherworldly dimensions, which might resonate with occult symbolism and rituals. Furthermore, the concept of teamwork and unity among the Power Rangers is often emphasized, highlighting the idea of collective power and energy. Some individuals interpret this aspect as a reflection of occult concepts like group rituals or covens, where a collective effort can bring about significant changes or manifestations. It is important to note that these interpretations are entirely subjective and depend on the individual's perspective. The Power Rangers franchise was primarily designed as a children's show with an emphasis on action, adventure, and teamwork. While there may be certain elements that can be connected to occult themes, it is crucial to differentiate between intentional occult references and accidental similarities. In conclusion, the association between the Power Rangers and the occult is an intriguing topic that has sparked discussions among viewers. The show's use of martial arts, mystical powers, magical artifacts, and the concept of collective energy can be interpreted as having occult undertones. However, it is essential to approach these interpretations with a critical mindset and acknowledge that they may simply be coincidental rather than intentional..
