Infamous YouTuber Trisha Paytas has announced that they are joining the Wiccan or Pagan community. Netizens are disappointed to see the social media personality attempt to practice several religions.

According to Dictionary.com, the Wiccan religion is a movement based on pre-Christian practices. Their three main pillars include magic, respect for nature, and worshiping a goddess and other deities.

Though the term has often been associated with the worship of the devil, the website claims that Wicca has no relation to Satanic worship.

‘Pagan’ is used as an umbrella term that encompasses different types of spirituality. It mostly includes a deep respect for nature.

In a live session, Trisha Paytas stated that they do not wish to do anything “devil-related” because they believe in the same. They also uploaded a video on their second channel titled “come last minute Christmas shopping with me at Target.” In the video, they exclaimed that they will soon be practicing Wiccan traditions. They continued:

“I’m going to get my purity candles. I’m excited they came into my life. I think it’s my calling. So watch out Pagan community, I’m coming for you.”

The aforementioned statement can be viewed in the Def Noodles Instagram post below.
