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.

Fantasy is fun?

The last statement is not necessarily true- witchcraft has until very recently been understood to derive power from a concord with the devil.

"been understood to" is doing a lot of shady sleight-of-hand there.

I think the concept of "witches" is older than the concept of "church".

Here, I googled it for you:

“Witches were sometimes said to have communed with demons or with the Devil, though such accusations were mainly made against perceived opponents of the Church.”

ITT: “if only girls didn’t believe in horoscopes, my friend from college would have had a girlfriend”

Seriously. It’s so crazy to me to hate a behaviour based solely on its perceived impact on the chances of getting laid.

As if most of the people who got dumped over their zodiac weren’t just arseholes and the other person didn’t have heart to tell them.

When I was a kid girls went through a horse obsession phase. Boys had one with cars or dinosaurs.
