(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ How you can tell when a witchy creator is not reliable ♥
Hey guys~ So since we have concluded the vote and this was the most picked answer here are some ways in which I have found that you can tell if a witchy creator is reliable or not ♥
🌿They Do Not Take Criticism Well🌿
A knowledgeable practitioner understands that witchcraft is ever-evolving and that learning never stops. If a creator responds to polite corrections or differing perspectives with hostility, dismissiveness, or defensiveness, it's a sign they prioritize their ego over accuracy.
🔥They Aren’t Open to Being Corrected🔥
Everyone makes mistakes, but a good creator will acknowledge when they’re wrong and adjust accordingly. If someone refuses to correct misinformation, even when presented with solid sources, they may be more focused on maintaining an image of authority than on sharing truth.
🌙They Act as If They Know Everything🌙
No one—no matter how experienced—knows everything about witchcraft. A reliable practitioner will admit when they’re unfamiliar with a topic or encourage you to do your own research. Beware of creators who speak in absolutes and act as though they hold the ultimate truth.
🔮They Tell You How You Should Practice🔮
Witchcraft is deeply personal. While guidance is helpful, a creator who insists that their way is the only way or shames people for practicing differently is a huge red flag. A good teacher provides information, not rigid dogma.
📜They Spread Misinformation📜
Witchcraft is full of myths and misunderstandings, and an unreliable creator won’t fact-check their posts before spreading them further. Be cautious of people who share historical inaccuracies, make grand mystical claims without evidence, or refuse to cite sources when asked.
⚠️They Claim Their Practice Is Completely Safe & Without Consequences⚠️
Magic has consequences. Whether it’s simple cause and effect or something deeper, no form of witchcraft is completely risk-free. If a creator claims otherwise, they may be oversimplifying things or outright misleading people.
💰They Push Expensive Tools or "Essential" Items💰
You don’t need fancy tools, expensive crystals, or rare herbs to be a witch. If a creator constantly pushes pricey products (especially their own) and insists that you must have them to be successful, they’re likely more interested in making money than helping others.
🔑They Gatekeep Knowledge🔑
Witchcraft is meant to be accessible. If a creator withholds basic information or insists that you need to pay for “secrets” only they can provide, they’re likely exploiting curiosity rather than genuinely educating.
🌀They Use Fear to Control or Manipulate Their Audience🌀
Some unreliable creators thrive on fear-based tactics, telling you that you’re cursed, that your practice is invalid without their guidance, or that something bad will happen if you don’t follow their methods. Witchcraft should empower you, not make you feel afraid or dependent on someone else’s approval.
✨Trust Your Intuition & Do Your Own Research✨
The best way to avoid falling into the trap of unreliable creators is to stay curious, fact-check information, and cross-reference multiple sources. Witchcraft is about personal empowerment—never be afraid to question what you’re told.
And to clarify (since ya'll need that, apparently), that includes people who are transphobic, homophobic, pro-eugenics (i.e. social darwinism anti-vaxxer people), anti-immigrant, racist, etc.
Ya'll don't belong here, paganism is not a safe place for you, and I don't want you interacting with my blog.
No TERFS, no conservatives, none of it. Freedom and equality for all.
they’re basically symbols that hold power and intent and they can be very helpful in manifesting things and there’s lots of different ways to make them!! the witch of wonderlust on youtube has a great video on it https://youtu.be/jVV1Jx3rmX8
The Gods are not detached, locked away in their temples like crypts. They walk in the world with us. They know us. When you open yourself up to them you will find them in the strangest places.
