    people who don’t leave the witchcraft stuff behind when they grow up are on par with disney adults and hardcore weebs

    People with harmless hobbies? I see no problem with this. Why would a self-respecting adult care if others cringe at their interests?

      This was such an online reply.

      I’m saying it’s weird that wirchcraft is “culturally acceptable” while the other extremely similar “hobbies” draw widespread derision.

        I’m not sure coming into a witchy community and shitting on witchcraft is going to get you a ton of agreement

        I think you said more than that. You said people would “rightfully” make fun of you, suggesting the derision is warranted.

          But I don’t expect them to care. It’s not like I’m making fun of them to their faces, I’m just thinking “wow what a dork” when I see an adult obsessed with Disney movies

            Pick your poison, witchcraft, zen, Christianity… Being able to see things the way a child sees them is an essential part and something you might want to work on.

            I’m going to take a guess and direct you (and most readers) towards a Christian reading, but I assure you, this observation is made by almost all traditions, secular or otherwise, across almost all the world’s cultures.

            Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 18:3
