It’s kinda insane that the pentagram has been adopted to be a symbol for Satan (not that that would be anything bad) and be associated with all kinds of bad things. Its original use was to be a protective ward and stuff; not sure how its meaning could be tarnished so much.

Christianity and labeling anything they deem “unchristian” as Satanic. That’s how.
Same reason we got “Explicit Content” warning stickers on Compact Discs with cuss words and “clean” versions of the same albums with cuss words censored out.
It’s pretty bog standard for controlling authoritarians who rely on Faith and not evidence. Destroy any evidence that contradicts the “faithfuls” narrative, which is why you get book burnings and such.
Hateful people fear what they don’t want to understand.
Because Christians turned it upside down and said “Oh wow… this star looks like a goat with horns”.
While MY kids live under MY roof hope for the future is FORBIDDEN!
Now go join the military!

As someone who left an evangelical life, seeing people in a circle holding hands is a bit triggering to me.
Did Evangelicals also hold hands like that?
Are you being serious?
I have no idea whats going on, I was born gay 😋
Who is the greatest god
I remember when I wore my first pentacle the first day of high school in the 90s and people absolutely lost their minds… it’s amazing how little people actually know about Wicca… and this was in Massachusetts, the one place where people should, you know, have a basic understand of it.
No, wait, scratch that. Even worse was the reaction when I brought home a Craft VHS… like the most basic movie ever. Just the sight of the pentacle was enough to send them spirling.
Hope for the future? How can I learn this superpower?
Delete social media and stop watching the news.
Oh wow I touched Facebook and deleted grass and I literally forgot everything happening in the world man I feel so much bEtTeR!! 🤪
I am convinced some of you actually want to be miserable.
Dude you’re being stupid. Disconnecting from the Internet doesn’t delete your memories and knowledge of shit happening. It’s some damn default NPC response to shit like this. Might as well told me to lawyer up and hit the gym too.
No, but it helps not to think about it 24/7. And yes, it wouldn’t kill you to lift the barbell once in a while instead of doomscrolling.
Do something in the present to prepare for tomorrow.
If you turn this opposite, with death ceremonies and being a horrible person, you have the signs of your child becoming religious?
If that’s witchcraft, then I’m a necromancer.
