A/N: This is another one of those "alternate Marvel Comics" fanfictions, not an MCU one, as MCU is more a commonplace than Marvel Comics.

A/N: The idea of Wanda Maximoff becoming a Wicca is not exactly my idea.

A/N: What inspired this idea is from an MCU fanfic story I read from Archive of Our Own called "Cinnamon Tea", written by jupituer. I recommend reading it.

Wanda Maximoff had always felt a connection to nature and the elements, but she never had a name for it. She had learned to use her chaos magic from various sources, such as Agatha Harkness, Doctor Strange, and the Darkhold, but she never felt truly at peace with her powers. She often wondered if there was more to magic than just manipulating reality and casting hexes.

One day, she stumbled upon a book in a local bookstore that caught her eye. It was titled "Wicca: A Guide for the Solitary Practitioner" by Scott Cunningham. She flipped through the pages and felt a surge of curiosity and recognition. The book described Wicca as a nature-based pagan religion that honored a male god and a female goddess, as well as the cycles of the seasons and the moon. It also explained how to perform rituals, spells, and meditations using natural objects such as herbs, crystals, candles, and tools. Wanda felt drawn to the book and decided to buy it.

She took the book home and read it cover to cover. She was fascinated by the concepts and practices of Wicca, and felt a sense of belonging and harmony. She decided to try some of the exercises and rituals suggested by the book, such as setting up an altar, casting a circle, invoking the elements and the deities, celebrating the sabbats and esbats, and working with her personal power. She found that her magic became more balanced and focused, and that she felt more in tune with herself and the world around her.

She also decided to seek out other Wiccans in her area, hoping to find a community and a teacher. She searched online and found a local coven that welcomed new members. She contacted them and arranged to meet them at their next gathering. She was nervous but excited to meet other people who shared her beliefs and interests.

She arrived at the meeting place, which was a secluded clearing in the woods. She was greeted by a friendly woman who introduced herself as Willow, the high priestess of the coven. Willow welcomed her warmly and invited her to join them in their circle. Wanda followed her and saw about a dozen people of different ages, genders, and backgrounds sitting around a fire. They all smiled at her and introduced themselves as well. Wanda felt a wave of acceptance and warmth from them.

Willow explained that they were about to celebrate the full moon, which was a time of power and manifestation for Wiccans. She asked Wanda if she wanted to participate or just observe. Wanda said she wanted to participate, feeling ready to embrace her new path. Willow nodded and handed her a white robe to wear over her clothes. She then led her to the circle and helped her find a place.

The ritual began with Willow invoking the God and Goddess, asking for their presence and blessing. She then called upon the four elements of air, fire, water, and earth, inviting them to join them as well. She then invited everyone to share their intentions for the full moon, what they wanted to manifest or release in their lives. Wanda listened as each person spoke their words aloud or silently, feeling their sincerity and passion. When it was her turn, she closed her eyes and spoke from her heart.

"I ask for healing," she said softly. "For myself and for those I have hurt or wronged in the past. I ask for forgiveness, for myself and for those who have hurt or wronged me in the past. I ask for peace, for myself and for the world. I ask for love, for myself and for all beings."

She opened her eyes and saw Willow smiling at her with compassion and understanding. She felt a warm hand squeeze hers gently. It was Vision, who had accompanied her to the meeting. He had been supportive of her decision to explore Wicca, even though he did not fully understand it himself. He had been curious about it as well, wanting to learn more about his wife's spirituality.
