A witch in the Wiccan tradition is someone who practices witchcraft as part of their religious beliefs and practices. In Wicca, witchcraft is seen as a positive and nature-based practice, rooted in the belief that the natural world is sacred and connected to the divine. Witches in the Wiccan tradition often work with the energies and forces of nature, using spells, rituals, and other tools to manifest their intentions and connect with the divine. Witches in the Wiccan tradition may work alone or as part of a coven, a community of witches who come together for rituals and other spiritual activities. While the term "witch" has often been associated with evil or negative connotations throughout history, in the Wiccan tradition, it is seen as a positive and empowering term. Witches in Wicca often align themselves with the cycles of the moon and the seasons, working with the ebb and flow of energy throughout nature.

This was so easy to make and a big hit in our family. I made it with chicken and will be making it again.
I added the lime juice and the fish sauce
Let’s talk about how awesome it is to eat vegetables that taste like cash money. I mean, not literally, just in the way of, like, you know, when it tastes like, really good, like something that might cost you a lot of cash money, or has the same positive association of money, not that money is everything but, like… gah. You know what I mean. Have you started school again? Or your kids? O your kids’ kids? Or you’re the teacher? Or you work from home and you’re looking out the window to borrow some back-to-school vibes from the kiddos in backpacks walking to the bus? Back-to-school is upon us all. See also: OH. MY. GOSH. It sounds so basic to say that I can’t believe that it’s already that time of year – probably because it IS so basic. It’s what I say every season, every year. But with the upheaval and constant grief of this last year, time just feels especially weird. Like it’s been both too slow and too fast all at once. But as usual, time ticks on, and that is, I guess, is how you find yourself staring down the completed ravaged back-to-school section at Target wondering why the pencils are already out because didn’t summer just start? Here we go again. I’m making it sound like this is a bad thing, but I actually adore everything about the fall season. As a former teacher, I think I will always have a little bit of that super zealous back-to-school spirit running through my veins. At top of my list of things I love about fall is really, really good food. Like, comforting, cozy, wrapped in a sweater kind of good food. Think ancho turkey chili and cornbread after the first week of school. Carnitas and magic green sauce on game day. Detox lentil soup and no-knead bread for your first official on-time dinner in months. And think curry. Green curry. Green curry with some weirdo stuff in it (tofu? golden raisins? sweet potatoes?) that is going to make you feel like you won both the nutritional and yumo-food olympics.
However, the specific deities and spirits that a witch works with can vary greatly, as Wicca is a diverse and individualistic religion. The main principles of Wicca emphasize personal responsibility, harm none, and the belief in karma or the law of threefold return, which states that whatever energy a person puts out into the world will come back to them threefold. Thus, a witch in the Wiccan tradition is someone who practices witchcraft as part of their religious beliefs and practices, incorporating nature, rituals, spells, and other spiritual tools into their practice, with a focus on personal responsibility and harm none..
