      Wow. A lot of talk about magic in there. Way more wiccan hippy than right wing sovcit but I guess you go far enough down the rabbit hole and they converge.

      Pdf also seemed to make my CPU spike like crazy, wonder what else is embedded in there… Probably not magic

        As a Wiccan, please don’t bring us into this. That book has nothing to do with common Wiccan beliefs. Just because someone’s using the word magic does not mean it has anything to do with wicca. That text has as much in common with Wicca as a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

          I’m curious as to what beliefs one can have about magic at all (other than “it’s not real”) that are any less insane than this. Please do enlighten me.

            Generally Wiccans believe that magic is a force of nature that science just hasn’t explained yet. Its a way of nudging the forces of nature in a desired direction often in conjunction with the forces of diety. Its not like magic from Harry Potter. We do not for example believe we can fly or get out of debts with magic words written on letters.

            At the end of the day Wiccans aren’t any crazier than any other religion. If you’re an atheist you’ll find us just as “crazy” as any other theist. If you believe in a diety then our beliefs are different but no crazier than yours.

            Not understanding our religion and then choosing to compare us to someone who is likely mentally ill is just asshole behavior. If you don’t understand Wicca why bring us up at all except to be outright disrespectful?

              Can confirm, I think you’re just as crazy as other theists.

      Ok I was saying they thought the law was magic and they just needed to find the right incantation as a diving joke but it looks like that’s actually true
