Page "Stevie Nicks" Paragraph 118

A rumor that has trailed Nicks through the years is that she is a witch and is heavily involved in Wicca.

While she admits to having a high regard for the mythic and gothic, she denies any solitary dedication to any one religion, including Wicca.

She speaks about this erroneous image in a 2006 interview.

Nicks's music is copyrighted under the name Welsh Witch Music, a reference to her song " Rhiannon ", which she introduced as " a song about a Welsh witch " in concerts between 1975 and 1978.

In a Yahoo!

interview on April 28, 1998, Nicks said of the rumor: " I have no idea what precipitated those rumors … I am not a witch.

Get a life!

" Nicks also stated in a 1983 Entertainment Tonight interview: " I spent thousands of dollars on beautiful black clothes and had to stop wearing them for a long time because a lot of people scared me.

And that's really unfair to me, I think, for people – other people – to conjure up their ideas of what I am or what I believe in.

" In a 1998 Redbook magazine article, Nicks spoke of her faith, stating that she believes in angels and knows that she is alive today because " there was a God " looking out for her during her years of addiction.
