Hi my name is Kassia (she/her) and Im a Witch, I'm currently 20 years old and ive been practicing since 13. My craft is extremely eclectic and interculturally composed. Im currently closeted, i wasnt for the longest time but things happen, and not many of us are left with a choice. I wont share any of my personal practices (closed practice) but everything else is on the table for me to teach yall new witchlings.
I hope you like my blog, and even more as it grows and i interract with everyone who comments, likes, reposts, or dms me. Thank You ;3
Hey, uh - that thing about "witches are only female" is not true. (Not speaking in the Hocus Pocus sense - they can have their own rules of course - but in general) While it's true that "witch" is *predominantly* a female term, there are a good number of men/males who also use the term, both now and in previous history (depending on the culture). For example, my partner is a practicing Wiccan, and refers to himself as a witch, and there were male witches convicted across Europe.
Huh, that's actually kind of interesting.
I mean, it seems like Hocus Pocus could generally take from real life history of witches. I don't think Disney really cares to put a lot of emphasis on it, though.
I THINK in the second movie the Mother Witch says specifically when "girls become 16", but I could be totally forgetting that line (i need to rewatch that movie).
But they also didn't seem surprised that Max (movie Max) could do "magic". Just the type of magic he did. (The "fire in his hand" and "burning rain of death" that they clearly didn't know)
And like, it obviously wasn't REAL but that makes me think there IS some idea that male witches can exist in HP lore. Perhaps they just aren't common.
