“An ye harm none, do what ye will” - The Wiccan Rede. Wicca is a flavor of witchcraft where harming no one is largely practiced. The Threefold Law posits whatever energies one sends out will return threefold. Harming someone will result in harm to you threefold. Sending good intentions will result in good intentions times three returning to you. There are also many different varieties of Wicca as well. Wiccan practices can be mixed into any other traditions or practices you already do to create your own personal Wicca. A production of the Wayward Things Network

Niflheim, but nobody lives there, because it’s too cold. The frost giants don’t even want to be there. And of course the queen of the dead and broken, Hel of Helheim.
