“Like I said, my opponent, she didn’t even hide it,” Masterson added. “She talked—they had witch—I mean, they’re doing like witchcraft spells on TikTok so she can win the governorship. I mean, they’re like … it’s like demonic stuff that they’re doing, right? Just in your face that way.”

    I thought y’all believed in freedom of religion? Witch is a religion

    Fr I do really hate that being pagan is so controversial in so much of the country

      Wiccan is a religion. Or animist, or Hekate follower, or Hellenist.

      Even “pagan” isn’t a religion, it’s the absence of Christian religion from a Christian perspective. It’s an Othering term.

      Witch is just a title, like mailman or umpire or hot dog salesperson. If you do witch stuff, you’re a witch. If you weld stuff, you’re a welder.

      But when a Christian does witch shit, they’re a “mystic” as a loophole they invented to retcon the “evil mean pagan” stuff they tried to destroy and realized later were things they liked.
