  If I had to guess I’d say the friend is either boosting the transition because duh, or trying to fuck because why else would you not tell them what the spell is for? Unless there’s some rule about spellcasting like for birthday wishes where it doesn’t work if you tell

  Embarrass herself by telling people she believes in witchcraft.

      You say that as if you HAVE to believe in magic.

      The only viable religion is worshiping the sun, since that actually exists.

      Is it though…? As stupid as the Abrahamic God is, at least you have a “God of the Gaps” thing going on where all God really has to be is someone with their own agency to grant you what you ask for and to determine where to place you in an untestable “afterlife”. Of course there’s an obvious cocktail of inherent contradictions when you choose “omniscient”, “omnipotent”, and “omnibenevolent” at the same time, but then you can appeal to the idea we wouldn’t possibly understand the whims of such a god outside of time and space. Again, stupid as fuck, but you can weasel your way out of anything.

      But witchcraft? Okay, you’re transferring the agency to yourself, and you’re saying you can perform magic, but now you have no evidence you’re capable of jack shit and you have no excuse to pawn it off onto. You’ll never be able to do magic your entire life because it categorically isn’t real, so is the excuse that witches are real but you personally really suck as one? Is the idea that you do what “God” does and take credit for anything that vaguely “works” by sheer coincidence and ignore everything else? Do you only cast “spells” that function as placebos like easing someone’s pain or making them feel happy – similar to many prayers?

      So now you’ve gone from untestable woo like the afterlife and testable but weaselable woo like prayers to woo that you should absolutely be able to test empirically because you’re in control of it.

  Hmm if she had said “I’ll pray for you” we all know what she would have been praying. So witches less shitty than Christians? Or do we need to ask more Christians exactly what they are praying for?

    “I’ll pray for you” but it’s a prayer to Lempo, god of fucking from Finnish mythology.

      Frey, brother of Freya, is usually also depicted with a big ol’ dick. He’s a fertility and agriculture god! Of course you want him to fuck your fields.

    There is a large amount of the Queer community that practice witchcraft and other esoterica. It is often seen as a spiritual safe space for people outside of hetero-normative society.
