You spot fake witches because they believe in magic instead of Magick. Being a witch is a spiritual practice, if curses actually worked the world would be very different (and way, way more fucked than it currently is)

Wicca was invented in 1954. They're all fake witches.

Nothing fails like prayer. Or magic, which is just a different flavor of prayer and vice versa.

When I used to be New Age I believed that not believing in magic gave you a resistance to it because Quantum...

Accepting the truth that magic ain't real was tough

I wouldn't ever do this because as soon as anything went wrong in my life I'd never be able to shake the question that it was super natural. I'm extremely skeptical and don't believe in any supernatural things, but I have a fear of developing superstitions. Also when I get really stressed about my life and feel like it is particularly unfair I start to feel like there is some sort of external source of my problems and it's malevolent. So, doing something like this would be a recipe for problems for me lol.

There has to be a fancy name for this phobia.

Sounds like you have a superstition about superstitions.

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

They aren't superstitious, but they're a little stitious

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

This reminds me of some work drama...

My coworker was cursed by our ~~b~~witch of an 'assistant manager' for turning her down, and the next day his mom had hot oil splash up her whole arm and it looked bad.

Not supersticious but he was and he was terrified. It was horrible to watch.

Sounds like a wonderful work environment

Did you burn the witch?
