    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
