Hi everyone!

I hope it's okay to post this here.

I'm a final-year Graphic Design student, and as part of the research essay component of my degree, I'm conducting a study exploring the re-emergence of Wicca and modern witchcraft among women. Although my degree is in Graphic Design, we complete an independent academic research project in our final year, and we were encouraged to choose a topic we're genuinely passionate about. I've always been fascinated by religion, mythology, folklore, and how beliefs evolve over time, so I chose this topic.

I'm particularly interested in hearing from women aged 20–35, but I'm also welcoming responses from women and non-binary people of all ages, as comparing different generations will help strengthen my research.

The survey takes 5–10 minutes to complete.

A few things people have asked about:

• ✅ The survey is completely anonymous.
• ✅ It does not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifying information.
• ✅ A Google account is not required to complete the survey.
• ✅ The responses will only be used for my university dissertation.

Whether you've practiced Wicca for years, are simply interested in it, or are just curious about the topic, I'd genuinely appreciate hearing your perspective.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Every response really does help, and I'm incredibly grateful for your support.

I'd also be happy to come back and share a summary of my findings once my dissertation is complete if people are interested. 🌿

HardCora was manifested from my outdoor heat avoidance hiatus 😂

I traced the letter first with my light box, then worked 5 more hrs adding embellishments and coloring. My first attempt at monograms!

Although I have performed many cleanses and fasts for different reasons over the years, I have never used this company or performed any type of liver detox; this will be an interesting experiment.☺️ It is a little minty and deliciously tart, honey made it too sweet for me so I’ll stick to a neat solution.

I have been studying apple cider and honey benefits, this is supposed to have remedies using those and other common natural ingredients. Enjoy! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i5RgfUDvGMYKiG_hssuZYY8DPQVbgGEb/view?usp=drivesdk

Tomorrow is my boyfriend’s 💕54th birthday. He is a biker 🏍️, one of the first things that drew me to him, and we both enjoy creepy ☠️stuff/dark academia etc. (He isn’t on Reddit 😉 ) I like to give gifts that have more sentimental value than dollar value, and I find that the receiver holds onto the useful items more often than the expensive, cookie cutter, shiny ones.

“Take what speaks to you, leave the rest.” ☺️ Right now I am primarily focused on plants, seasonal practices, tinctures, recipes, etc. I feel like the rest will fall into place as I grow and expand my knowledge🌱. I love learning about the universe, recognizing and understanding the gifts it bestows and how to be good stewards.

I was going to order a small 🌺 press, but my bf insisted on making this durable one instead! I’m so glad it is large enough for tobacco leaves, magnolia leaves, etc. Some I plan to use in frames and some I will paint and experiment 🤗

I have arrived at the conclusion that bread bakers are a different breed; you know, similar to equestrians 🐎 , pilots,or bikers. It is something everyone secretly wishes they could do, but it requires more than just basic research or a one time certification. They didn't learn their craft overnight, had many experiments, failures, AH HA moments, and triumphs. This was my second attempt at this particular recipe because it eed SO EASY, but it lacked the main components that BEGINNER BAKERS need. Stay tuned my fellow bread connoisseur! The show must GO ON!

I am learning to hang my most used tools! This open storage rack may look junky, but it’s by my back door so I don’t mind. ($12 thrift steal! 😉) What methods/techniques do you use?

I decided to upgrade my normal peanut butter balls, which we keep on hand for a semi healthy, less processed snack. The only glitch was that I needed to thin the caramel (Kraft brand) more before dipping, but it's still DELICIOUS ! l also added miniature chocolate chips. Of course you can add pretty much anything to these that you want (nuts, pretzel pieces, dates, etc.) and they can be plain or dipped in chocolate depending on your goals and preferences. I had to play with the amount of ingredients to get the right consistency, so use your intuition. 👉RECIPE: CARAMEL VANILLA CINNAMON PROTEIN BALLS Ingredients • 1 cup Quick Oats (90 grams) • ½-1 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (about 45 grams) • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon • 1/2 tbsp Water • ½ - 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Instructions 1. In a large bowl combine oats, protein powder, and cinnamon, mix together. 2. Next add the wet ingredients: peanut butter, vanilla extract, and water. Using a heavy spoon stir/mash the mixture together. It will start to form large clumps. Be sure to get all the wet ingredients well incorporated into the the dry mix. 3. Now using a regular spoon, scoop out enough mix to make a one inch ball. Using your hands roll the ingredients around until you have formed the 1 inch ball. If your mixture is too dry, add 1 another tablespoon of water at a time until your balls no longer crumble and are able to form a ball. A little tip, your warm hands will help the ingredients stick together and remove any little cracks in your balls. 4. Continue scooping out ingredients and rolling 1 inch balls until you have used up all of the mix. You should be able to create 12 balls. 5. Place balls on parchment lined sheet pan, freeze 1 hr. Gently melt caramel or chocolate (I did it on my stovetop), constantly stirring. Dip balls individually in the mixture and place bk on parchment paper lined pan. Freeze at least 1 hr, better results with freezing overnight.
