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.

Or, maybe because it's just cool. Might be a super controversial thing to say, but it's pretty much proven that boys and girls tend to gravitate towards certain elements.

So boys go through a phase where they are crazy about dinosaurs. Girls it's witchcraft.

This isn't a universal constant, however, as neither of my sisters have been into witchcraft, and I know one woman who's really into dinosaurs.

And sometimes it's both...

My 4 year old ran around in a dinosaur costume yelling "Abra Dabra" last week.

Oh gods no! I don't think the universe is ready for a fusion of such magnitude!

There's also something to be said about gaining power from the moon because it aligns with our bodies' natural rhythms as well.

Unfortunately false if I remember my mythology correctly. Aren't witches granted their power as a result of their deal with Satan?

Witches just want to be made into bridges

side question: why is the "DO" emphasized in the first post? when I try reading it like this it sounds so awkward and unnatural. shouldn't the emphasis be on "why"?

[–] trashgirlfriend@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The emphasis on the word "do" feels pretty natural to me.

The meaning of emphasis on "why" and "do" are also slightly different I feel, but in a way I am too lazy to articulate at the moment.

The emphasis on "do" indicates an "established fact" that the author is seeking additional context on.

>"female empowerment that don't derive their power from their relationship to a man"

>try to summon the devil or a ghost to get power from.

Hey now it could be a Norse witch. In Norse mythology magic was just a thing women could do, it was something deprived from the experience of womanhood. Hence why Odin lived as a woman for a time, he is too much of a knowledge hoarder. Loki on the other hand is a gender fluid slut and the mother of monsters.

In summary mages can be women, trans, gender fluid, or a dude willing to try new things for knowledge and power.
