i just hate that I can walk into any “witchy” place in any town and only find tacky statues of angels, chakra candles and bloody self help books and doors for faeries which I cant stress how dangerous these are. I cant buy bones or dried animal parts and 7 day candles like I can in Mexico where the real stuff happens. I cant get chaos magic books or even regular graveyard dirt or even a simple black skull candle. Some places don’t even stock herbs or only have 3 species!
Somebody said it.
In my experience, the owners/operators of such shops are often uneducated, appropriative, and racist as well. I walk in for charm candles because I don’t wait for shipping time, cringe through the whole interaction, and don’t come back until I’ve forgotten about it years later
