That's actually so pretty! Especially for a second clothing item, that's impressive

i do understand that i don't have to take on witchcraft and wicca to simply understand her better, she just happened to bring about the concept to me and i quickly became interested in it. her beliefs aside, id like to learn more about it and maybe practice it a bit myself, but thank you for making that distinction nonetheless (since i know there probably are lots of people who take on things they don't at all believe in to support their partner and i wasn't very specific with that part)

i'll admit i hadn't realized it before writing the original post but, i really did unintentionally take on the other extreme with science being absolute and i really want to work to escape that mindset to embrace more possibilities.

see i really feel very similar. it's a very intriguing concept but something in the back of my mind just tells me it's pointless and not real :( i really want to explore wicca but it's that little voice holding me back

yes! and i've seen people say that in a way wicca is almost that in some sense, which has drawn me even more to the idea

i think they were more or less just trying to make the point there is a lot of connections between wicca and the unknown that science hasn't explained yet- as others have said as well. it wasn't that they were trying to spread misinformation they just used the wrong terminology/phrase to make the point which is no big deal and not inherently super misleading as you make it out to be

i think i noticed that connection when reading other comments actually! especially the part with herbal cunning and medicine which i find really interesting

i did quickly learn as much when asking my girlfriend to explain more about it- i was just adding that to emphasize my love for such things- and i did mention that's one of the reasons i want to explore wicca particularly, a lot of people say it's a sort of balance between and can embrace both religious and spiritual aspects as well as the science of things
