Practical magic, also known as folk magic or low magic, has been practiced by various cultures and societies throughout history. It is difficult to trace the exact origins of practical magic as it was developed independently by different groups of people around the world. **The creation of practical magic cannot be attributed to a single individual or culture, but rather it evolved organically over time as a result of human curiosity and the desire to understand and manipulate the natural world**. Practical magic encompasses a wide range of practices, including spellcasting, divination, healing, and the use of charms and talismans. These practices were often passed down through generations within families or taught by local wise men and women. **Although specific techniques and beliefs varied depending on the culture and region, the underlying concept of practical magic remained the same - the idea that individuals could harness supernatural powers to influence their lives and surroundings**.

She recently got a brand new tattoo paying tribute to her spellbinding role in Wicked. And Ariana Grande showed off her new Glinda The Good Witch ink on Tuesday. Done in black, the tattoo was visible on Ariana's right hand as she demonstrated her skincare routine in a video shot for Vogue.

Glinda covered nearly the entirety of the back of her hand, and appeared upside down in the video shared to YouTube.
That's Wicked! Ariana Grande showed off her new Glinda The Good Witch tattoo in video done for VogueAriana revealed she had gotten the Wicked ink last month during an interview with Allure. The Positions singer already has dozens of pieces of body art, but said her latest was special. 'This one I knew I wanted to get for a very long time,' she told the outlet, which revealed it's on her right hand. 'It's Glinda from the original L. Frank Baum book,' she explained. 'I waited forever to fill up this hand. And I thought, "I'm gonna wait for the right thing to come along," and yeah, that felt very right.' It comes amid her rumored romance with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, 31, who plays Boq in the show. The couple have taken their relationship to the next level, with the Dangerous Woman singer now living with her Wicked co-star in New York City as he prepares for his starring role in the upcoming Broadway production of Spamalot.

Iconic role: Ariana currently stars as Glinda in the upcoming film adaptation of WickedIt comes less than two months after Ethan filed for divorce from his wife, Lilly Jay, with whom he has a one-year-old son. But Ariana and her real estate broker husband Dalton Gomez have yet to file divorce documents to officially terminate their four-year marriage. Ariana and Ethan are said to be 'stuck together' after their secret romance was made public, preventing them from returning to their respective marriages. 'Ariana is living with a married man right now while she is still married,' a source close to the situation tells DailyMail.com exclusively.

'It seems as if Ariana is holding onto Dalton in case things with Ethan don't work. It is just so strange that she is living with Ethan and has not filed documents to end it with Dalton.' The pair met in December 2022 on the UK set of the film adaptation of the smash-hit Broadway musical Wicked, in which Ariana plays Glinda - the good witch - alongside Ethan as munchkin Boq. Last week People magazine reported that the pair were strictly 'friends' until after they split with their respective spouses.

But a separate source said those claims were 'absolutely untrue' adding that there were 'receipts to prove it.' 'Ariana and Ethan never intended for their relationship to go public,' the second source told DailyMail.com. 'They were hoping to keep it a secret and go back to their marriages as if nothing had happened. But this was not possible because they got caught. 'Now they are stuck together and have really nothing in common with each other. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.' DailyMail.com has contacted Ariana, Ethan, Dalton and Lilly.
**As societies developed, organized religions emerged, and the line between religion and magic became more defined**. Practices that were once considered sacred and accepted by society became labeled as witchcraft or sorcery and persecuted by religious authorities. The rise of Christianity in Europe during the Middle Ages led to the demonization of magic and witchcraft. **The Catholic Church considered magic to be heretical and sought to eradicate it through the Inquisition and witch trials**. Countless men and women accused of practicing practical magic were persecuted and executed during this period. Despite this, practical magic continued to be practiced covertly. It was often passed down in secret, preserved in grimoires, spell books, and oral traditions. **In the modern era, practical magic experienced a revival with the emergence of movements such as Wicca and New Age spirituality**. These practices incorporate elements of practical magic and combine them with new beliefs and ideologies. In conclusion, the creation of practical magic cannot be attributed to a single person or culture. It evolved over time as a result of human curiosity and the desire to manipulate the natural world. **Practical magic encompasses a wide range of practices that have been passed down through generations and have been influenced by various cultures and religions throughout history**. Despite periods of persecution and suppression, practical magic continues to be practiced to this day, offering individuals a means to connect with the supernatural and exert control over their lives..
