witches comment on the golden rules of witchcraft

For the record, she is breaking the Golden rule of Wiccans, pagans and witches alike. "An ye harm none, do what ye will ". What she is doing is not representative of any aftermentioned belief systems.

I think you are NTA, as it is your responsibility as a parent to monitor your daughters well-being, which is clearly being negatively affected.

NTA!!!

But man, why aren't you more concerned about her mental health than her witchcraft?

Witchcraft itself isn't any more harmful than other religions and curses are DANGEROUS magic (I'm a pagan practicioner) which are strictly off limits if you want to practice witchcraft safely, they're strongly discouraged in our circles and some covens here expel members for using them.

NTA

Your daughter needs to learn about karma and the rule of three.

What she is doing, trying to cause harm to others in such a way whether they are still living or deceased is not right.

She isn’t even trying to bind and stop them being a negative influence - she is just going straight to harming and again, that’s not cool or right.

I think you’ve been fairly tolerant up to now.

She needs some serious guidance before she messes with forces that she just doesn’t quite understand and ends up messing up royally.

the post is young feel free to use dramahexes, fellow deuxwizards

Excellent bait!

Only on reddit do you get upvoted for atheist-jerking, but get downvoted if you call Harry potter larping fake. What a meme of a website.

A recent incident is when she woke me up in the middle of the night, asking me to give her an undercut so she could get a “raam-ma'am” tattoo on her scalp,

I first read "uppercut", which needless to say made it even funnier.

The only people who unironically use AITA are judgemental women so most of them likely believe this shit themselves

Absolutely. Its always funny to sleuth the profiles of seethe-sub posters, FDS, Sneedingover30, and such. Almost always they also post in these gossip/"foid book club"-esque subs like AITA or relationship_advice. The people incapable of living a mature life of their own give advice to others on how to live.

The person who wrote the comment you linked is a perfect example. Posts in r/harrypotter (lmao), complains about how it is hard to lose weight and seethes about TERFs. And of course, on page 4:

That’s only a Wiccan rede, not a witch rule. Many branches of witchcraft do not follow that

It's cope isn't it? Like "ohhhh yeah we totally really do real magic, but our spells are all kind of vague and ineffective because of ethical concerns."

I had to do it, doesn't matter if it's real or fake we have to push AWAB: ALL WITCHES ARE BITCHES. The more people understand the B-WORD part, the more repulsed they are by the WITCH part! DISMANTLE THE MATRIARCHY

The suspicious part is how he knows about his daughters post history

"An ye harm none, do what ye will ".

Fun fact: "ye", "ge" or "þe" is an archaic English collective honorific used to denote that the people you are speaking to are equals or superior to the speaker or writer. "You" (as a collective) is the informal equivalent. "Thou" is a superior speaking down to an inferior group (hence its common use in the Bible by God).

As everyone is subject to the law, this "wiccan rede" is about as authentic sounding as a sign in a renaissance fair saying "Ye Olde Shoppe".

"Ye Olde Shoppe"

Roughly translated into modern English is, of course, Polski Sklep.

Y'all, I think it's time for a lengthy discussion around both the ethical concerns of generating your own drama through dishonesty and the intrinsic inauthenticity of the resulting drama.

Anyone can go into a cave full of r-slurs, say a few key words and get them all to fling shit at you. Is that dramatic? Discuss.

I just found out from Wiki that the word “Wicca” is Anglo-Saxon for male witch with the female equivalent being “wicce”.

I wonder how these witches deal with that?

THe fact that we stopped burning witches is a crime to our glorious elders. They knew they did not cast real spells, they just did something about the haggots instead of seething

If you won’t accept a queer parent, DON’T become a child! Haha, Just kidding. It’s always okay to do homophobia to your parents. You didn’t ask to be born to gays.
