I remember this happening when I was a teen, and there are still many women I know into it.

My mother was a self proclaimed witch since the 80's/90's, and told me as a child fairies were real, and constantly told me I "had psychic powers." She read my cards and all that. It fucked me up wholly, and pushed me to science and fact. It's not for me, and I don't understand the fascination. But, if it makes other women happy, it's really harmless.

it’s really harmless.

No its not. Belief in bullshit has negative consequences for the individual, their friends and family, and society as a whole.

Now, is it comparatively less harmful than some other things they could believe in? Absolutely but its still bad.

Best grace would not be to say something that makes the problem worse

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.
