Most weren't apart of any religion. Modern witches and pagans have wide-ranging beliefs - some revere nature, some honor ancestors, some even blend Christianity.

So the quote kills nuance. It turns centuries of layered practice into a punchline.

Belief systems aren’t mirrors. They’re mosaics.

Halloween began as a collision of Samhain (Celtic new year, harvest’s end) and All Hallows’ Eve (Christian vigil before All Saints’ Day). It’s cultural overlap, not opposition.

And “witches”? In history, that word covered everyone from herbalists to heretics.

So if you find yourself upset by others having choices you don’t agree with, maybe it’s time to pause and reflect on why that is.

Because at the end of the day, how we treat others says more about what’s going on inside us than it does about them.

Those laws aren’t about making you feel comfortable. They’re there to protect others from being hurt by bullies.

And let’s be honest—most bullies are made by unmet needs or pain they haven’t processed.

I could start with how we started on stolen land with stolen labor and then blamed both of those people's for wanting freedom and reparations - or I could just point out that the "eagle" is actually a hawk, because "we" decided that the real thing was too weak. 🙄

We always have been, my dude.

I'm curious why Signal is more popular than Session, when Session has not US based servers and couldn't be pressured the same way Signal can? (Genuine question)
