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.

        I mean it's a bad analogy, but the Nazis were really into the occult

          Im partial to disagree, dogma is cope, spirtualism is a great way to feel interconnected with your peers and care about their struggle which can enhance or lead into solidarity. Im grill pilled/acid marxist despite being an atheist haha matt makes a compelling arguements that the left needs to be inclusive of spirtualism
