And the men who enable them by pretending to be into it just for sex are just as bad
Somebody’s epistemology is limited by the confines of capitalist realism and is too insecure to move beyond that box.
On one hand, making up a religion is cool but, on the other hand, why would you choose to make it a bland cocktail of fake pagan shit
The reason women “fall into” shit like astrology and witch stuff is because it’s marketed to them, not because of some sexist bs reasons. Well I guess the marketing is sexist
I think there’s a bit more to it than that. I think that in a situation where you have less relative power you are more likely to seek power in mystical stuff like prayer or spiritual beliefs or magic because the avenues available to women are more limited.
Try to be nice and tolerant plz. Most people under that umbrella are relatively harmless & their ‘religion’ is pretty accepting & permitting so that’s cool.
but I’d be lying if i said it didn’t piss me off when people inject astrology into conversation & try to interrogate your sign all the time. like that’s literally evangelizing, don’t frickin preach to me, whatever your beliefs, or i will resent. also fuck being sexist, men can also actually get into it, it’s not a ploy to get laid
Man no one actually has any idea what’s actually going on don’t kill others vibe even if it’s not your own.
Magical thinking and Marxism don’t mix
I’m allowed to think someone is wrong and misinformed. Wiccan shit is snake oil salesman. The people are into it are the same people who buy essential oils.
You’re allowed to do whatever you want I’m words on the internet not a cop (more on that later). I have an elderly neighbor who does crystal and faith healing stuff, and has offered to do it to me a few times. I don’t have any reason to believe it works, but I politely accept because it’s more important for me not feel like a raging asshole than it is share with everyone just how I think the world works.
Problem is those people are the same people who don’t vaccinate their kids and are anti hospitals blood transfusions etc. it’s harmful 😜
That’s the wonderful thing about it! Because I’ve actually treated her like a person as opposed to a rube to be corrected, she’ll actually come by and run medical decisions by me. She asked me if she should get a covid vaccine and we decided that she was going to ask her doctor and commit to whatever he says.
Astrology is dumb as hell but witchy shit generally is different (though obviously there’s some overlap)
I know Wiccan people and like it’s cringe the shit they do I’m just saying. It’s literally just edgy christianity

All religions are equally unvalid.
on the one hand I agree but on the other one more person who becomes a wiccan is one less who becomes an evangelical who are infinitely more cringe so critical support
Why is it a dichotomy lol
