Once upon a time in a small village lived a witch named Morgana. She was feared and hated by the villagers because of her dark powers and unpredictable mood swings. Morgana had always been an outcast, even as a child. Her mother, who was also a witch, had abandoned her at birth, leaving her to be raised by her father, the village blacksmith. Morgana possessed extraordinary abilities from a young age. She could manipulate objects with her mind and even conjure flames with a simple flick of her wrist.
She could manipulate objects with her mind and even conjure flames with a simple flick of her wrist. As she grew older, her powers only became stronger, and she began to explore the depths of the dark arts. Despite her talents, Morgana yearned for love and acceptance.
Covid-19 and Halloween: Lockdown means witches' coven 'can't meet'
Karin Rainbird, a pagan prison chaplain, recently helped start a seven-strong Wiccan coven in Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf.
But she says she is the only "initiated" member and the other new witches need face-to-face training.
"Wicca is not really something you can do online," she said.
Wales is currently in a 17-day "firebreak" lockdown, with people staying at home while pubs, restaurants, hotels and non-essential shops remain shut as part of steps aimed at halting the spread of coronavirus.
And Covid-related restrictions have made it difficult throughout the pandemic for any kind of multi-household group wanting to meet in person.
"Because we just started the coven, no-one is initiated yet apart from myself, so it's really the training period," added Karin, who is also a freelance psychologist.
"Training would be practical. It would be doing the sabbaths [gathering to perform rites], having some workshops where we practise casting the circle, identify herbs, that kind of thing."
While witches scarcely get a mention outside of Halloween, Karin's coven is just one of many across the UK.

Wicca, also termed Pagan Witchcraft, is a modern pagan religion and just one form of modern witchcraft. It focuses on being in balance with the natural world.

- Children told 'stay at home' this Halloween
- What Covid tier is your area in and what are the rules?
For most people, the word "witch" might conjure images of women on broomsticks, bubbling cauldrons, the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus or maybe even Harry Potter.
And with Halloween celebrated on Saturday - albeit with different Covid-19 rules restricting activities such as trick or treating - people will be dressing up as these hideous and sometimes comical casters of spells and hexes.
But for many directly involved in modern witchcraft, the caricatures can be misleading.
She had always wondered why her mother had forsaken her and dreamed of finding a place where she could belong. Little did she know, her destiny would lead her on a journey of self-discovery and ultimately reveal the truth about her past. One fateful day, as Morgana ventured deep into the forbidden forest, she stumbled upon an ancient book of spells hidden in an old oak tree. Intrigued, she opened the book and discovered a prophecy that foretold the coming of the witch's daughter. The prophecy spoke of a powerful witch who would bring balance to the world of magic and unite all magical beings. Driven by curiosity, Morgana delved even further into the book, seeking answers about her own identity. She learned that her mother had been a powerful witch and a member of a secret coven. The coven had feared her immense power and wished to control it for their own gain. To protect her unborn child, Morgana's mother chose to abandon her, hoping that she would be safe from the coven's clutches. Armed with this newfound knowledge, Morgana decided to embrace her destiny and confront the coven that had been hunting her all her life. With her powers and determination, she gathered a group of loyal magical beings who had also rebelled against the coven's oppression. Together, they waged a battle against the coven, standing up for their rights and freedom. Morgana discovered that she was not alone in her journey, as many others had suffered under the coven's rule. The witch's daughter became a symbol of hope for all magical beings, inspiring them to break free from the coven's control. Throughout her quest, Morgana experienced moments of doubt and isolation, but she never gave up. She had finally found her purpose and would not let anyone stand in her way. With each victory, she grew stronger and closer to fulfilling the prophecy of the witch's daughter. In the end, Morgana's courage and determination prevailed, and she defeated the coven, freeing all magical beings from their tyranny. She had finally found her place in the world, not as a feared witch but as a leader and protector of her kind. The tale of the witch's daughter serves as a reminder that one's origins do not define their worth or potential. Despite her dark powers and troubled past, Morgana was able to rise above it all and become a force for good. Her journey teaches us to embrace our inner strengths and never give up on finding where we truly belong..
