Today's Take

The idea that:

practicing witchcraft

putting up protection spells

not putting up protection spells

communicating with spirits in any capacity

makes you:

more visible

more vulnerable

more prone

to:

potential attack

intrusion by baneful magics

malicious practitioners

evil spirits

demons

is an idea:

rooted in cultural religious bias

heavily influenced by pop culture

born of rhetoric meant to warn people away from witchcraft

This is a list of concurrent points, not an either/or or a multiple choice selection.

Discuss.
