Recently, modern witchcraft has been on the rise. I am interested to hear some discussion and discourse from your perspective, on any aspect of modern witchcraft. Myself, I try to be respectful of most religions. That said, I have always been a little annoyed by anyone who believes they can, for example, control the weather or read peoples minds, which seems to be the case in this article, and in several witchcraft-related memes and stuff I've seen floating around. In addition, I think the whole idea of witchcraft as an opposition to the status quo is very much a bourgeois/liberal mindset. Instead of using affirmative action to actually work for change, it's turning to faith and a belief in the occult in order to solve your issues. It seems to me to be almost entirely composed of young, upper-middle class white women that have not needed to struggle or known the struggle of other classes. In essence, a liberal reaction to the people in power. Any thoughts? Willing to change my mind.
Well once again we have common ground lol. Shrooms offered me a new insight that I likely wouldn't have had without them. It's funny, I feel like I could have written your very same comment, and I think we're definitely grappling with a similar subjective experience. It really is that 'surrender' which is the most important first step to shifting our perspective. Hate to harken back to Socrates, but admission of ignorance is a wisdom of its own kind.
I've been been Journaling and writing on these topics for a little over a year now, it's refreshing to to see it somewhere besides my own notes. It does seem like a potential narrative shift that could help restore meaning and spiritual significance that works better for the contemporary world, whether it goes by paganism or any other name.
