I hadn’t really noticed that I do this before today, but I consistently have a voice in my head that talks to me. It’s kind of my voice but also not, but it’s not an auditory hallucination. Anyway, I was doing something and I got a little anxious, and that voice said, “it’s okay, chiquita.” I realized that I’d heard it and I thought back to see if I’ve ever done that before, I’m still not sure that I have. One thing I think it might be is maybe a coping mechanism or a form of escapism because I don’t really know much comfort mentally. In short, I’m just curious if anyone else‘s mind does this

Hello! I’m Leah, and I’m a Christian. However, I just met someone who is Wiccan and I really want to try and understand their beliefs a bit more. I’ve done a bit of research on ~the google~ but I thought it would be good to gain some insight from Wiccans themselves. I have a few specific questions, but if you want to share other information that’s unrelated to my questions, I’d really appreciate that too!!

1. Is Wicca specifically a religion or more of a belief system?
2. Do all Wiccans have to be witches/practice magic or is that more a personal preference?
3. What do Wiccans think of other religions/people who believe differently from them? Are they kind about it, do they hate them, what is it like? (If you are Wiccan and don’t like me for being Christian, you’re allowed to have that opinion but please be kind and civil, thank you so much 😊)
4. Are there any Wiccan holidays are celebrations on the calendar? 4.5 do you use a different calendar or the Gregorian calendar?
5. For the Threefold Law, do you think that returned energy affects you physically, mentally or spiritually? Is it a combination of all three? I don’t really know how that would work lol

Thank you for any information you may share, I’m very grateful to learn more about your beliefs. I think the Threefold Law is quite interesting, similar to the idea of karma in a way but also more specific. Anyway, I’ve rambled enough for now. Thanks again! -Leah <3

EDIT: I see people asking what‘s the difference between a religion and a belief system. I guess what I’m trying to ask is, is it like an organized religion with a church and specific beliefs that everyone has to follow or is it more of a personal thing where it varies between individuals? I probably didn’t ask my question in the right way lol

I got my period yesterday (I’ve been getting it for about 2 years now) and I noticed something I haven’t seen before or maybe I just haven’t noticed. I was walking around doing something (I don’t remember what it was lol) when my legs started getting really shaky. I didn’t feel weak or anything, just a little unsteady and my legs were visibly trembling. Is this a normal thing for having your period? I just haven’t noticed it before
