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.

What is the thing on the bottom right? It looks like the Westinghouse Atom Smasher, but the protruding bulbs don't fit. Also they stopped using the Atom Smasher in the 1950s.

Juggalos are ridiculous, but it bothers me that "Miracles", the song that line is from, was so widely mocked. I know Shaggy and Violent J aren't Nobel laureates, but that song in its entirety makes a wonderfully valid point.

Wisdom doesn't always come down from on high. Sometimes it can be found in a Faygo-soaked mass of Juggalos gathered at a place nicknamed "Lake Hepatitis".

Also witchcraft

Ever thought about how a laser printer works by blasting the electrons off of paper? Surely there was an easier way to do things?
