No wonder why you are Christian, you think magic is real. 🤦‍♂️


This forum probably isn’t the right place for you, friend.


Why not?

+1 I think people want to believe in higher power and that there is something out there. The new age harmless witchcraft gives people a community and an outlet for it, but it also isn’t rigid with rules.


And it's only for women, right?

Do realize that both Judaism and Christianity practiced animal sacrifices. What do you think they were sacrificing in the temple before its destruction? What is the very essence of Christianity - god sacrificed an animal (Jesus).


Jesus sacrificed himself for his followers to cleanse their sins. Big difference to ritual burning of goats and pigeons.


Is it? How so?



Well maybe because humans are different than goats and pigeons?

Womens rights are getting screwed over by evangelical churches. Now we will start to cast spells and curses on church men.

It's not that kind of witchcraft. Like, it's not related to Satan (which is a Christian idea) or evil. It's just a lot of spirituality and somewhat cringey female empowerment mixed with environmentalism.

Think crystals and yoga. That kind of thing.

People flock to just about anything that looks promising, not just any new metaphysical invention.
