Things NOT To Do When You Meet an Actual Witch

universal-magick:

• say, “so wait… you think magic is real?”

• or “do you have a mental illness?”

• *insert comment about how we’re “childish” for believing here*

• Have you ever cursed someone?? (this puts someone in a position where they feel like they have to justify it if they did, and sometimes there are stories people just don’t want to tell

• Say something that implies Christian superiority

• Tell a christo-witch (Christian witch) that practicing witchcraft invalidates their identity as a Christian

• Tell a Pagan witch that they can’t follow a pantheon because it’s “already been labeled as mythology”

• Ask them to do magic right now, on the spot (There are days I don’t want to do magic or can’t really feel my own magic, especially if I’m out of practice/have been too busy)

• demand they do things that are very clearly not possible. (Do you have ANY clue how powerful someone would have to be to move something? APPARENTLY NOT!)

• explain to them in detail why you think their beliefs are invalid

• treat them like doing witchcraft means they’re morally abhorent
