The insight of the Wiccae is rooted in their belief in the interconnectedness of all things. The Wiccae, commonly referred to as Wiccans, are practitioners of the modern pagan witchcraft religion known as Wicca. At the heart of Wiccan spirituality is the understanding that everything in the universe is interconnected and part of a greater whole. This interconnectedness is often referred to as the "web of life" or the "Great Mystery". Wicca is a nature-based religion that celebrates and honors the cycles of nature, the phases of the moon, and the changing seasons. Wiccans believe that the natural world is imbued with spiritual energy and that they can tap into this energy through rituals and ceremonies.
Ms. Frizzle: A Witch Gone Rogue?
The Muggle world has recently been rocked with shocking news: Ms. Frizzle, thought to be a fictional teacher, is actually an American witch who is on the run from the Magical Congress of the United States of America (MACUSA). MuggleNet has gained exclusive information from an anonymous source about the witch’s childhood and adult life up to this point.
Valerie Frizzle was born to intellectual and creative No-Maj parents in an American city. The first few years of her educational life were spent in a normal public school, but she felt stifled by the strict rules and rote memorization enforced there. Her parents took her out of school and began homeschooling her at the age of eight. Their homeschooling style was based entirely on field trips and hands-on learning experiences, and it was from her parents that Frizzle learned her famous phrase “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!”
At the age of 11, Frizzle’s family was shocked but delighted by her acceptance into Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Frizzle was sorted into Thunderbird House where she immediately proved herself to be a star student. Within her first few months at Ilvermorny, however, she was already getting in trouble for being “too experimental.” As her powers grew, this complaint was repeated more urgently by teachers and administration. Frizzle excelled in Transfiguration, but she did not stick to the coursework, instead creating spells of her own that took experiments of human transfiguration to the extreme. Frizzle and her pet lizard (who never left her side) became a staple in detention. Further disciplinary action was not taken, however, because the professors of Ilvermorny were fond of the brilliant girl.
In her final year at Ilvermorny, Frizzle became involved in a scandal that was impossible for the school to keep under wraps. Having finally come of age, Frizzle spent her summer experimenting with her transfiguration skills on all sorts of No-Maj objects, including an old school bus she found in an abandoned lot. Convinced that the new technology she was creating was the perfect way to transport students from around the country to Ilvermorny, Frizzle and all her friends arrived at school that year by flying the bus she had found and transfigured to be the size of a bumblebee. The school and student body went wild, and the news of this grand entrance even reached to the highest bodies of MACUSA. The American wizarding world, which had been operating under Rappaport’s Law for over a century, was highly suspicious of anything to do with No-Majs, and their version of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office was far stricter than the muggle-loving Arthur Weasley’s. The entirety of MACUSA was calling for Frizzle to be thrown in jail, and the Head of Ilvermorny had to fight tooth and nail to reduce the punishment to a simple expulsion. Frizzle’s wand was snapped, and she was sent back to the No-Maj world, never to interact with witches or wizards again.
After her expulsion from the magical world, it appears that Frizzle attended No-Maj college and got her teaching license. Once she started teaching science in a public elementary school, however, she quickly felt stifled by the same book learning and rote memorization that she had experienced in her early years at school. She desperately wanted her students to interact with the mysteries and joys of the scientific world firsthand, but the school didn’t have the necessary funds to provide for field trips. So Frizzle decided to take matters into her own (magical) hands.
Frizzle, although incredibly talented as a witch, was deeply proud of her No-Maj background. She believed that the wizarding world was blind and prejudiced, and it was ultimately causing harm to both groups by being so strict about wizard/No-Maj relations. Both groups, she thought, could learn from each other, and she was determined to make sure they would. So taking her trusty school bus out of its garage, she decided to teach science in a way that her students would never forget.
Over the decades of Frizzle’s teaching career, she used her unparalleled magical skills to bring her students from outer space to inside the human body, from volcanoes to earthquakes, from deserts to the ocean floor. She even developed a Time-Turner strong enough to return to the time of the dinosaurs. Nobody, from MACUSA to the public school board, ever realized what Frizzle was doing in her classroom because who would believe a child who told such crazy tales? Although Frizzle’s “field trips” were certainly risky, she believed that children could not learn unless they made mistakes, and under her watchful and capable eye, no student ever got injured.
A few years after Frizzle retired from being a teacher, her former student Dorothy Ann started writing children’s books based on the copious notes she had taken during her time in Frizzle’s classroom. The books took the No-Maj world by storm, and hundreds of young No-Maj children learned science from the magical tales. MACUSA started to become suspicious, but as hard as they tried to find Frizzle, they never could. Nobody knows whether Frizzle and her bus are hiding on the moon or with the dinosaurs, but No-Maj children everywhere thank her for her fearless conviction and skill that brought magic and wonder into their lives.

Ms. Frizzle, the science witch who operated the Magic School Bus in the '90s, is one of the most frightening characters in children’s entertainment that the world has ever seen.

The Magic School Bus adult jokes and straight up nightmare scenarios on this list are enough to make you reconsider ever letting your children watch educational programming again.

Is ms frizzle a witch
Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia don't have a monopoly on witchy characters, y'all. There are plenty of book characters who are definitely witches, but who only show it in their own, secret, special ways. I've picked out 13 witches hiding in otherwise witch-less books for you to check out below, because you could always use a new source of magic in your life.
For the last couple of years, Potterheads on Tumblr have been convinced of one thing: Willy Wonka and Mary Poppins were definitely students at Hogwarts, and they probably pissed off the Wizengamot as much or more than Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore himself. Mary Poppins made the cut for the list below, but Mr. Wonka did not, because this space is for witches only, no wizards allowed.
The secret witches on the list below all display some sort of magical abilities, be they psychic or elemental, evil or good. Although many of the novels in which these characters exist could be classified as fantasy, most of the witches themselves live in worlds devoid of other magical effects and users.
Check out my list of 13 book characters who are definitely witches below, and share your favorite spooky ladies with me on Twitter!
Wiccans believe that the natural world is imbued with spiritual energy and that they can tap into this energy through rituals and ceremonies. These rituals and ceremonies often involve invoking the elements (earth, air, fire, and water), casting circles, and the use of various tools such as a cauldron, wand, and athame (ritual knife). The insight of the Wiccae is that by connecting with nature and the divine, they can gain wisdom and insight into the mysteries of life.
Mary Poppins from 'Mary Poppins' by P.L. Travers
Known in P.L. Travers' books as "the Great Exception," magical nanny Mary Poppins did not lose the magic that all children in her world are born with, which is why she can talk to animals and perform all of her other amazing, magical feats. Clear to everyone else, however, is that Mary Poppins is a witch in a world full of muggles.
This insight is not limited to the physical world but also includes the spiritual realms. Wiccans believe in the existence of deities, often referred to as the Goddess and God, who represent the feminine and masculine aspects of divinity. These deities are seen as embodying the natural cycles of life, death, and rebirth. Through their rituals, Wiccans seek to align themselves with the natural rhythms of the universe and to attune themselves to the energy of the Goddess and God. It is believed that by doing so, they can gain a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the world. This insight is not just intellectual or theoretical but is often experienced as a deep sense of connection, peace, and wholeness. In addition to their connection with nature and the divine, Wiccans also emphasize personal responsibility and ethical living. They believe in the principle of "harm none" and strive to live in harmony with others and the environment. This includes taking care of the Earth, practicing compassion and empathy, and working for justice and equality. Overall, the insight of the Wiccae is that by recognizing and honoring the interconnectedness of all things, they can gain insight into the mysteries of life and cultivate a deep sense of connection, peace, and wholeness. This insight is not limited to Wiccans alone but is a universal truth that can be embraced by anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them..
