(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.

Hope this helps~! Blessed be ♥

1 problem with esacob:

don't worry, its not that it exist. in fact i quite enjoy it. my main problum is that almost everyone on the ship tag sees it as this:

and its a lovely way to see the ship yes [in fact its the way that got me into the ship, mostly because i thought being "brother zoned" was funny] but i can't get the idea of jacob being as protective as his brother just in a more social way out of my head, with him obsessing over keeping esau healthy and happy, to the point of playing at least 10 disaster scenarios in his head [5 of them have esau getting hurt] over and over, and blaming himself everytime esau gets hurt [or in a fight] because he wasn't there to help, he even trys to keep up a "people person" reputation just to keep esau safe [the less people angry at him=the less fights esau gets into=the less likely esau gets hurt] so hes still quite the pushover when it comes to arguments, he'd rather avoid them altogether, but he would do *anything* for his brother because he loves him [romantically of course but he hasn't realized that yet]

Nazis will never be welcome in paganism. They have no space in our communities, we will have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to nazis. You have no right to the cultures, gods and religions you hijack to spread your disgusting ideologies. You will find no refuge or comraderie amongst pagans.

Reblog to let nazis know they’re not welcome here.

imo i feel like the only gripe between them would be that the only thing red looks forward to is "do nothing day" [assuming this is like a first meet thing and they really don't know each other well]

i could be wrong though because the last time i've watched a dhmis episode i was too focused on when the twist was going to happen i couldn't watch it to completion

i dunno but i suppose they will get along.

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

it's genuinely wild to me that i barely see anyone talking about the gravity falls real time fandub anymore. absolutely ICONIC piece of gf fandom history. especially here on tumblr! real time fandub completely dominated my feed back in its gf/su era. and nowadays I feel like nobody would know what I was referencing if I started posting about leaf dance and can an ant do this. like what happened here.

yeah sorry but it looked like morality was your main argument for censorship, glad to see that is not the case.

still don't agree with your take though, its just slightly better

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.
