Tumblr's wicca community - Fair is foul, and foul is fair, Trigger warnings and filthy hair.

They keep talking about the Moon as if it's a living spiritual being. They are aware it's just a big cold dead rock, right? I know because we've been there, nothing up there but dust and rocks. Not even any geological activity.

"B-but it's magick! It blesses the purified tap water in my fridge!"

I know a spell to cure all these witches and their mental illnesses.

Spoiler

It's called casting "Spell of Go Outside".

A few of them were on Tumblr hexing Jennifer Lawrence and making voodoo dolls after she chewed out that journalist.

Sometimes, having a front row seat is not fun.

All the people I've come across IRL who identify as a wiccan are just really fat chicks. Literally all of them.

Ther is a reason why WICCA stands for White Isolated Chubby Chick Association.

Anyways, These chicks are posers and I can beat them with meme magick.

What you said. A lot of spells in the old days, before the evil evil Christians started oppressing everyone, were basically substitutes for stuff the culture didn't really have or couldn't manage. There used to be a big overlap between science, religion, magic, and medicine, and one was often interchangeable with the other. Doctors in multiple pre-Christian ancient societies would prescribe spells and prayers as well as drugs. If you lost your cow, you couldn't exactly check your security cam footage, but you could get some shit together and try to curse the fuck out of the guy.

Actually, reading about medieval and even post-Renaissance spellwork in Christian societies, you see something similar. Witchcraft is often very much work, not religion, and Christian artifacts and symbols are used precisely because they're believed to have power. And there was very little in the way of crystals, moon water, or auras.

Got a source on this at all? I want to know the dead-geezer spell for cursing the guy that stole my cow.

Sorry, ancient medical spells are more my bag. You want @Surtur for the cow thing.

I'm surprised this spell nonsense exists. I know there's probably a lot of confirmation bias when looking over the ''spells'' effects, but at some point you've gotta realize you're attraction potion doesn't work when everyone still thinks you're a greasy teenager who really needs to shower once in a while. Maybe it's just a big scam run by people trying to trick edgy teenagers into buying their crap?

I can't find my copy at the moment but I will look it up later if you guys really want me too.

Basically. Got so bad that eBay had to ban people selling spells and shit.

 

[glutenfreebooty]

Etsy also had to ban the selling of goods that "even remotely suggest or claim to have some kind of effect in a person's life" (source). These nutcases can and will do anything for money.

You mean other than actually work?

To be fair, if people would buy a small burlap sack with some sand in it and a simple sigil drawn on a scrap of paper attached to it with twine I'd sell the fuck out of them. Or mason jars of moon water.

Dumb money is just as valuable as smart money.

Definately a lot of confirmation bias. If you take a dump in a burlap sack and fill it with thistle and sage and bury it in the yard under the half moon as a good luck spell, the first good thing that happens to you will totally be attributed to your little "spell".

There's also the placebo and nocebo effects, which are pretty impressive and can result in spells/curses actually working (well, sort of), but only if the person they've been cast on knows about it.

Please do, this sounds interesting.

Doing this with your own imaginary magic shit and paying someone else for the magic shit is the difference between being delusional and outright retarded.

I can't think of any other reason why we would care more about the holocaust than the witch trials.

Those Jews were persecuted because they were Jews. The so called "witches" in the witch trials were innocent people accused of consorting with Satan.

People are indeed more likely to commemorate real atrocities over glorified show trials. (Excepting in Salem of course.)

 

[AnOminous]

A total of 20 fucking people died in the witch trials, as compared to well over 12 fucking million in the Holocaust, including all the non-Jews as well.

Neither happened
