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.
Yeah, I think I've had more to do with people who practice/believe in witchcraft than is normal... Trying to be vague about this, but it came in 3 waves. Wicca during highschool, indigenous witchcraft (practiced by indigenous people) for the past 7 years, and new age stuff for the past... maybe 5 years.
I was never into witchcraft and never believed in it, though. These are just friends and family, but I had more to do with them during those times than people with any other religion.
Send me a PM if you want. All of this sounds pretty weird and tbh I am intrigued. The closest I've ever come to someone who was into witch shit was some weird goth chick who was hitting on one of my friends in her DMs by trying to wow her with all the amazing witch shit she has supposedly seen lol
