Today, I went over some ideas for our grimoires. In a portion of the episode, I had mentioned that I have a master list of random, every day items that can be used for witchcraft, and I wanted to share that with you!… https://t.co/34sDYro19S

Hey, witchlings. I know it's been static on Twitter here lately from my side of things, and I wanted to apologize. Things have gotten a bit...hard. BUT! All things work in cycles!

Don't forget to love each other, babes. You never know how much time is left until the next time.

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

I'll be going live on the Wayward Witch Facebook page on fifteen minutes 🔮✨

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime be volatile. I'm simply trying to understand a faith that so many follow (and are just getting started on)

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime Bit witchcraft existed long before Wicca. Therefore, from my point of view as a Pagan-Not-Wiccan, it would be like calling a flamingo a penguin simply because I favor penguins. There were names for witches and Pagans long before. Also, I should add that I'm not trying to argue or

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime That's where a plethora of other questions come up for me, especially in coven structure and hierarchy. Though, I understand the questions can come off as possibly condescending or stupid via text/limited tweet space.

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime I understand he's not the founder of Wicca, but he wasn't Wiccan, historically speaking. That doesn't mean his work is invalid in practice or usage by the Wiccan tradition - just like Correllian wasn't originally Wiccan if it predates Wicca.

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@MistressPrime @velocipedeliz I'm approaching this question from a historical view rather than a spiritual one: how does a faith exist before it's founded? Unless we're speaking of Gardner's workings and researching prior to 1951.

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime Kinda. With Wicca being an organized religion, from what I understand, a Wiccan tradition would need to be recognized by the Wiccan religious structure, no?

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime Pagan traditions have been contributing to other religions and cultures since the dawn of faith. However, we wouldn't put the Pagan "stamp" on someone posthumous simply because of shared ideas or workings.

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime I did. While Charles Leland may have been a witch in his own right, his workings predate Wicca's founding - even if his work contributed to the belief structure. Where I'm coming from is the confusion regarding placing a religious association with someone after death. (Cont)

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime Again, confused. It was adopted as a Wiccan tradition circa 1904, but Wicca didn't come to be until 1951 per Gerald Gardner?

[Wayward Witch @waywitchcast]

@velocipedeliz @MistressPrime It is very semantic-y, but I do want to make sure I'm being accurate for the sake of it all, since the timeline is the major thing being questioned, if that makes sense.
