Is witchcraft making a comeback?

article image placeholderUploaded by @Charlieri
I know there are a few books I've loved and I might like pop them below, but yeah, I just wanted to kind of explore this idea of witches and magic and why they might be coming much more a part of our culture as a whole across the world, I think as well. I'm curious. Do you come from a culture where witchcraft is normality or do you take any interest? Do you think it's just a fad like, yeah. Well, what are your thoughts?

Both in pop culture and in the real world, there are more and more witches around. @NLOFrank @lissahoop @PKBriggs @Taylor @JLMcMillan

There are so many witch bands in the metal scene that you just can't keep track of all of them. There's acid Witch. There's just a band, which there's a couple of bands just called Witch. And there are some other, less tasteful witch names. I wish I had a dime for every witch band there was because there are a bunch of them. So I've been not familiar with witchcraft, per se, but listening to witch bands, I'm all for it

An archetype to aspire to

And I love what you say about control. Absolutely. The witch is a master of manifesting. If people understand what a real witch is capable of, I think there's also a romanticized notion of the outcast with the witch, and she's been there all along, and I think that we're just sort of conjuring it from this more primal place, as you said, pre Christian, and we're tapping into the sense of wisdom, knowledge and intuition, and it's kind of an aspirational thing

Loved the Worst Witch!

I've never dabbled in witchcraft personally, but I do find it very fascinating. I do see a lot of appeal to it. I do see a lot of kind of meditative, like through the rituals and manifesting your own power and channeling that energy. And I do find it very fascinating. Fascinating. I do have a number of books around witchcraft. So, as I said, never practice it. I just find it really fascinating

And I have myself I have practiced witchcraft now, in many ways, I more consider myself an intuitive person who's really deeply connected to nature, more than having a practice with a Grimoire and so on. But anyway, some really cool connections. I really am grateful to Charlie because I'm just so excited now this is so perfect around Halloween. Thank you both

Hey, Jessica, thank you so much for that. And thank you for the link it's made by day. Thank you so much. I just wanted to just talk a bit about what you said around around Halloween and possibilities. And I think that's one reason why I love it. And I think a lot of people I know love it is that it's the one day of the year that everyone, no matter who you are, can dress how you want

Haven’t seen all the witches in the last couple of years?

And then I know that there's been a lot of talk in the public sphere about Charmed and just I think that may or may not be remaking it. But I literally have not seen a lot, which is, I know we're really popular in my heyday of being young. I know that I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the Witches and that and the show Charmed and everything. But I'd be curious about it anymore
