I mean anything like cursed or lucky objects, ghosts, etc?
Figured it's the spooky season and I don't know too many people irl to talk to about the supernatural without discovering q-level brainworms.
I'll comment in the thread with my answer.
Most of us over on c/paganism believe in various forms of magic and/or spirits. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have over there, not going into anything here because the rest of this site can get ridiculously hostile to pagans or anyone who believes in the super natural.
Honestly, from someone who knows little about paganism, I haven't read much about it (obviously) and I'm afraid that I would be rude or unknowingly disrespectful. It's like I feel I need to fully research a thing before I can talk to people about it.
But I have a chance to talk to chill people who get social anxiety and other common interests. What better place to start? I'll start looking at c/paganism. Thanks for the invite!
Looking into paganism can be a bit tricky at first. Trying to separate out the grifters and the tiktok witches from actual practitioners isn't always easy if you don't know what you're looking at. But we're always down to have legit questions and discussion on our com. Even really basic questions are fine, a lot of people are almost totally unfamiliar with what pagans are actually like.
Yea many have been hostile to me here just for the mere mention of astrology. It's concerning to me because sometimes what people consider magic can be what BIPOC do when they want to get in touch with their roots, some of the practices come from indigenous or religious or cultural roots.
