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.

TIL J.K.Fuckling didn't even invent the word muggle.

This looks like it was inspired by '50s advertisement, it doesn't appear real. However, muggle was an existing term that basically meant "normie" when JKR appropriated it.

I remember etsy in the 50s. Quite a different place.
