The pandemic has meant all kinds of sports, social and religious groups cannot meet - but spare a thought for a witches' coven.

Karin Rainbird, a pagan prison chaplain, recently helped start a seven-strong Wiccan coven in Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf.

But she says she is the only "initiated" member and the other new witches need face-to-face training.

"Wicca is not really something you can do online," she said.

Wales is currently in a 17-day "firebreak" lockdown, with people staying at home while pubs, restaurants, hotels and non-essential shops remain shut as part of steps aimed at halting the spread of coronavirus.

And Covid-related restrictions have made it difficult throughout the pandemic for any kind of multi-household group wanting to meet in person.

"Because we just started the coven, no-one is initiated yet apart from myself, so it's really the training period," added Karin, who is also a freelance psychologist.

"Training would be practical. It would be doing the sabbaths [gathering to perform rites], having some workshops where we practise casting the circle, identify herbs, that kind of thing."

While witches scarcely get a mention outside of Halloween, Karin's coven is just one of many across the UK.

In 2011, census figures showed as many as 85,000 people identified in the UK with the neo-pagan movement, which is primarily represented by Wicca and witchcraft religions.

Wicca, also termed Pagan Witchcraft, is a modern pagan religion and just one form of modern witchcraft. It focuses on being in balance with the natural world.

For most people, the word "witch" might conjure images of women on broomsticks, bubbling cauldrons, the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus or maybe even Harry Potter.

And with Halloween celebrated on Saturday - albeit with different Covid-19 rules restricting activities such as trick or treating - people will be dressing up as these hideous and sometimes comical casters of spells and hexes.

But for many directly involved in modern witchcraft, the caricatures can be misleading.

What is Wicca?

"[b]Wicca [/b]has three elements: magic and witchcraft, religious, and mysticism," said Karin.

"The most important thing to me is communion with the deity, with the goddesses and with the god.

"Personally, I very seldom do any kind of spell craft myself on my own. It's not really that important to me."

Claire Pingel, 50, from Caerphilly, is also a pagan with coven experience. She said it took her a little while to realise it was the right path for her.

"I was brought up in Christianity and I went to church, but it didn't all sit well with me. There was just something else. I didn't know what I wanted."

After becoming a pagan, she met with some negativity. However, she said that, as the world has become more educated about neo-paganism, people have become more forthcoming.

"My family have actually become very respectful of it," she said. "They come to me for advice. They come to me when they're unwell and ask me for help."

'You have to be spiritual'
[img][/img]
Tirion Morganna Hill, a 19-year-old film student at the University of South Wales, grew up with paganism and is pagan herself.

She believes you have to be spiritual to be able to be a witch.

"You have to believe in something greater than yourself, ultimately. That inherently is a religious or spiritual ideology.

"A witch could be any religion. It doesn't matter what you believe, it's more about how you express your faith. Someone who is a witch is just someone who views and interprets prayer in a more action-based way."

And unlike some others, spell work is part of Tirion's practice.

Witch camp film is festival highlight

"The last big spell I did was when the Black Lives Matter stuff was happening. I did a spell for racial justice," she said.

She said she used "natural elements" for that particular spell.

"Water, preferably moon water, and a branch - you basically do some chants about what you want to achieve.

"You pull the leaves off of the branch for each injustice that you think. You leave it there until you can put it in to a river. Being carried away is the symbolism for that."

'Witchcraft is not evil'

For Halo Quin, an author of a book on Welsh gods and goddesses, the term "witch" has been reclaimed in modern-day life, even if she has experienced some negativity during her practice.

"A lot of people just think I'm a bit weird. They think I'm anti-science, people have this association that, because it's not Christian, it must be anti-Christian, and therefore they think it's satanic."

But Halo's practice, like many others, is about working with the natural.

"Witchcraft is not supernatural. Witchcraft is not evil. It's not devil worship. It's none of those things. Witchcraft is a practice.

"It is working with the natural forces that we don't necessarily see on the surface. Witchcraft is operating in tune with your intuition and yourself."

And with the rise of social media witches, such as TikTok's "Witchtok", and Instagram's hashtags, it seems many more people are falling under the spell of witchcraft.

The Nigerian National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has fined three television stations over their “unprofessional coverage” of the #EndSARS protests.

Channels Television, AIT and Arise TV are required to pay 3m naira ($7,800; £5,900) each to the regulator.

The head of the commission, Armstrong Idachaba, said the TV stations used unverified user-generated content from violent scenes caught on camera during the protests.

He said the footage "stimulated anger and heightened the violence".

"In line with the provision of section 5.6.9 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code which states that the broadcaster shall be held liable for any breach of the code emanation from the use of material from User-Generated Sources, the commission, therefore, sanctioned Arise TV, Channels TV and AIT in line with the provision of the broadcasting code," the NBC's statement read in part.

Mr Idachaba condemned the attack on two media houses during the wave of violence, and said it was a "threat to press freedom".

The commission had warned media houses not to "embarass the government" in their coverage of the protests.

There have been jubilant scenes in Chile after an overwhelming majority voted in support of rewriting Chile's constitution, which dates to the military rule of Gen Augusto Pinochet.

With almost all the ballots counted, 78% had voted "yes" in a referendum that was called after mass protests against inequality.

President Sebastián Piñera praised the peaceful vote.

He said it was "the beginning of a path that we must all walk together".

How did we get here?
Right-wing President Piñera agreed in November 2019 to hold the referendum after a month of huge and almost daily protests across Chile which saw more than a million people take to the streets in the capital, Santiago.

The protests, which had originally been triggered by a fare hike on the Santiago metro, drew a wide variety of Chileans who shared an anger about the high levels of inequality in Chile onto the streets.

One of their key demands was to reform the old dictatorship-era constitution, which they argued entrenched inequalities by putting the private sector in control of health, education, housing and pensions.

The referendum, which was originally due to be held in April, was postponed to October due to the coronavirus pandemic.

What did Chileans vote on?

The referendum asked Chileans two questions: firstly, if they wanted a new constitution, and secondly, what kind of body they would want to draw it up. Election officials said almost 7.5m Chileans turned out to cast their vote, the highest turn-out since the 1989 election which brought an end to military rule. With almost all the votes counted, more than 78% voted in favour of a new constitution.

An overwhelming majority of 79% also voted in favour of the new constitution being drawn up by a body which will be 100% elected by a popular vote rather than one which would have been made up by 50% of members of Congress.

What has the reaction been?

President Piñera acknowledged that the current constitution had been "divisive" and urged Chileans to "work together so that the new constitution is the great framework of unity, stability and the future".

He also praised the democratic nature of the vote: "Today citizens and democracy have triumphed, today unity has prevailed over division and peace over violence. And this is a triumph for all Chileans who love democracy, unity and peace, without a doubt."

Celebration but hard work has just begun

As the results came in, the word REBIRTH was projected onto a building in downtown Santiago.

For so many Chileans, this is exactly what this vote represents: goodbye to a dictatorship-era constitution, and hello to a new beginning that people feel is more fitting for a modern democracy.

Sunday's vote caps a turbulent year for Chile - and this vote is the result of months of mass protests, calling for meaningful change.

But in a way, the hard work has only just begun, because it kickstarts a whole new process whereby Chileans now have to choose who will draft the constitution and what it will say.

This evening's jubilation is uplifting but the demands are many and the expectations are high.

Those who had campaigned in favour of the "yes" vote took to the streets en masse to celebrate.

One of those celebrating, Juan Pablo Naranjo, told Reuters news agency that he was grateful to the youth who had started the protest: "If it were not for the brave young people who fought for us, no one would have gone out on to the streets. I had wanted this to happen for a long time and it happened and thanks to them, today we have won."

Another said that "we are giving birth to a new constitution and we are leaving behind the constitution of Pinochet and his entourage."

Senator Juan Antonio Coloma, who led the campaign for the "no" vote, admitted defeat, saying that the referendum had "clearly taken a different turn from what we'd hoped".

What happens next?

Voters will return to the ballot boxes on 11 April 2021 to choose the 155 people who will make up the convention which will draw up the new constitution.

The convention will have nine months, with the option of a one-time extension of three months, to come up with a new text.

The new constitution will then be put to the Chilean people in another referendum in 2022.

What do Chileans want from their new constitution?

Poverty levels have dropped dramatically in Chile over the last 20 years; it is now the richest country in South America on a per capita basis. But it remains one of the world's most unequal nations and many Chileans want to see the country's wealth distributed more equally.

Fernanda Namur told the BBC that she wanted the new constitution to "represent our lower class and give them a fighting chance in this seemingly rigged game through decent education and accessible medical care".

Meanwhile, Mario Bustos Mansilla told the BBC: "I want there to be a written record of our basic rights, which for me are education, healthcare, housing."

Mr Bustos' demands were echoed by Pamela Charad who said that she wanted "better healthcare and education for everyone".

"The country is like a pressure cooker that's exploded," Ms Charad said of the months of protests in 2019 and early 2020 in which more than 30 people died.

"This is our chance to make things right."

Is this likely to change anything?

The overwhelming "yes" vote is a clear victory for those who joined the anti-inequality protests last year even in the face of police repression.

While many constitutional experts say that this is only the first step towards change, it is not the first time that Chileans have achieved change through means of a referendum. In October 1988, Chileans voted "no" to Gen Pinochet extending his military rule for another eight years.

Christian Democrat Patricio Aylwin won the presidential election in 1989 and Gen Pinochet stepped down as president in 1990.

Most Yorubas can spell "Carnal" correctly.

Only yeebos like canalmind are the idiots and bastards who hide their identities out of shame.

There is a game called, tag along.. do you know how to play it?

Awon ara ilu oke, dem raz gan.

You are a full-blooded Lagosian? It is VERY rare for a Yoruba to use the phrase "Yoruba Muslims."

Answer this question honestly: Are you Yoruba?

Your mumu is out of the planet, I wasn't going to educate you but let me end the game with you. Canal+, google, and read about it.

Stop that shit.. There is nothing like Yoruba muslim.

Just cos you can speak Yoruba does not make you one of the Omoluwabi.

Chinedu, be proud of your lineage

Like I said, and I will say it again.. Na only Yoruba Muslims that are asslicking those Fulanis assholes. @ the bolded... Omo ilu oke, that uses "fa"
and they copied it from the Fulanis "ba". I'm a full-bloodied Lagosians and truth be told we are tired of those people from Ilorin, and Ondo coming to Lagos. Na them full agbero. Ibadan included

him dey form untouchable when all the holy books even stated that only God can determine the end.

seunmsg:


While I agree he should be fearless and show courage in face of the attacks, he should also be empathetic. Even the governor is trying to side with the people despite the destruction that was brought upon his State.

I repeat, Tinubu needs to be politically correct this time around. The amount of fake news out there is doing incredible damage to his reputation. He must reverse the negative effect of the Lekki shooting if he still want to be relevant politically.

Ki lo ma shele?

Have you read about Zeus, Hercules, Hades and co ?

SuperBold:


Is like you don't get it, Yoruba will not allow aggressive non yorubas to continue insulting our leaders and culture, never again. If criticism is itching you, direct it to the east lobatan

For Nigeria.

Kyase:


Hahahaha from where?
This is hilarious

You have a point because most agberos are Yorubas. For the Fulanis, they are always constituting nuisance everywhere you see them.

During elections, politicians use hoodlums to inspire fear, steal ballot, and cause havoc. Now the same hoodlums turned on them.

#themonsterstheycreated.

Only the Muslims among Yorubas will agree with that theory and na because of wetin dem dey see chop from them.

I still stand with the view that He left Nigeria after that shooting at the tollgate, France is less than 5hours flight with a private jet. Why is He just speaking when the unrest has been subdued?

I forgot to say, the POPE said God has now approved Adam and Steve. Those killed in Sodom and Gomorrah must have made it to heaven.
