Wicca is a modern pagan witchcraft religion that is based on ancient traditions and beliefs. Within the Wiccan religion, there is a focus on honoring and connecting with the divine, which includes both a male and a female deity. These deities are often referred to as the Wiccan god and goddess. The Wiccan goddess is seen as the feminine aspect of divinity, representing the nurturing and life-giving qualities of the natural world. She is often associated with the Moon, the earth, and the cycles of nature. The Wiccan goddess is thought to have many names, each representing a different aspect of her power and presence.

Outlander Witchy Women
In this week’s Outlander witchy women episode, Claire finally gets out of the castle. She doesn’t get too far and is constantly under surveillance, but at least we get to see some other scenery including some beautiful gardens and the in-town (or village as it were) house of Geillis Duncan – one of the only women Claire has become friendly with. Geillis is an odd and mysterious character, both seductive and off-putting. Her husband is the procurator fiscal (aka public prosecutor) and is of very high rank. Like Claire, Geillis has a deep interest in the use of plants and herbs for medicinals. Unlike Claire, Geillis also uses her knowledge for darker purposes such as love spells and curses. Geillis is in a position to supply Claire’s “medical practice” at the Castle with some valuable herbs so Claire visits her for an afternoon of grinding herbs and chatting. In the books, the house is described as fashionably dark, but her workroom as being an “airy loft” with casement windows that provided a great deal of light for work. Also described in the books is a “surprisingly modern long counter” filled with immaculately clean equipment.
So, I was surprised that the set decorators didn’t go with something closer to this description for the production. The space was dark with small windows and crammed with period appropriate furniture and odds and ends. It definitely had no air of modernity or cleanliness, really
Without trying to give anything away, the description of Geillis’ workroom in the book lends itself more to her character than the set does.
Although, I do love the day bed with it’s beautiful blue coverings and the William and Mary gate leg table.
I think I may have had something closer to the set decorating in the movie “Practical Magic” in mind:
Which obviously doesn’t make any sense, but we “see” things in our mind’s eye when we read and it’s hard to get rid of them.
If you’re watching, what did you think of Geillis’ Outlander witchy women “lair”?

He is often associated with the hunt, the seasons, and the cycles of life and death. Like the goddess, the Wiccan god is thought to have many names, each representing a different aspect of his power and presence. Some common names for the Wiccan god include: - The Horned God: This aspect of the god is often associated with the fertility of the earth and the wildness of nature. He is seen as a symbol of masculine energy and vitality. - The Green Man: This aspect of the god represents the spirit of the forest and the growth and abundance of the natural world. He is often celebrated during the springtime and the return of life after winter. - The Sun God: This aspect of the god is associated with light, warmth, and the power of the Sun. He is often honored during the summer solstice, when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky. In Wicca, the god and goddess are seen as equal and complementary forces, with each representing a different aspect of divinity. They are often worshipped together and honored in rituals and ceremonies. The names and aspects of the Wiccan god and goddess vary depending on individual beliefs and traditions, but they all share a reverence for nature, the cycles of life, and the divine power of the feminine and masculine energies..
Reviews for "A Journey into the Mystical: Connecting with Wiccan Goddess Names"
1. Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars
I expected "Wiccan goddezs nanes" to provide a comprehensive guide to Wiccan goddesses and their names, but I was sorely disappointed. The book lacked depth and only provided a superficial overview of a few goddesses. I was hoping for more detailed descriptions, their origins, and connections to Wiccan rituals, but this book fell short. It felt like a rushed compilation of information that could easily be found on the internet. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone seeking a thorough understanding of Wiccan goddesses.
2. Mark - 1 out of 5 stars
"Wiccan goddezs nanes" was a complete waste of time. The book was filled with grammatical errors, making it difficult to read and understand. Additionally, the content itself was poorly researched and lacked credibility. I found myself doubting the accuracy of the information presented. It seemed like a haphazard collection of random facts about goddesses, with no structure or coherence. Save your money and look for better resources to learn about Wiccan goddesses.
3. Lily - 2 out of 5 stars
I was intrigued by the title of "Wiccan goddezs nanes" and expected an engaging exploration of the divine feminine in Wiccan practices. However, the book failed to deliver on its promise. The writing style was dry and lacked any sense of passion or enthusiasm for the subject matter. Furthermore, the author seemed to lack in-depth knowledge of Wiccan theology and the intricate connections between goddesses and Wiccan rituals. Overall, I found it to be a disappointing and uninspiring read.
4. Michael - 1 out of 5 stars
"Wiccan goddezs nanes" was a shallow and poorly executed attempt at exploring the significance of goddesses in Wiccan traditions. The book read more like a list of names with minimal information or context provided. I was hoping for an in-depth analysis of the symbolism and spiritual attributes associated with each goddess, but this book failed to deliver. It felt rushed and lacked depth, making it a subpar resource for anyone genuinely interested in learning about Wiccan goddesses. I would not recommend wasting your time with this book.
