does anyone here know anything about this? my experience with final fantasy 8 and zelda majora's mask leads me to think this might be bad?

I was thinking that terms like "externalities" or "the environment" or, e.g., "nonlinear" interactions are a neat trick because they kind of have the feeling of just another special interest niche category that probably won't ever matter in practice but they in fact mean "everything else" other than what's captured within some narrowly constituted system.

Explanation:
Quote
ANSWER: The first thing to understand here is that there is a growing community of people whose religion is witchcraft. To them, casting spells, doing rituals with candles and herbs, praying to Goddesses, is how they express their religious nature. Just as a Christian woman might pray to God to cure her sick sister, or ask if God can send angels to bless her home, these witches pray to Athena, or Gaia, or the Moon for similar reasons.

Many of them genuinely believe in their religion, even if it seems strange and odd to others. So the twitter thread there is mostly that a group of young people, primarily organized on Tiktok are practicing their faith in ways they don't feel appropriate. It's like a religious divide between Catholics and Protestants.

One thing to point out is that the majority of the modern Witches don't actually believe that they can throw fireballs or turn men into pigs, but rather believe that by invoking the magical forces, they can bless or curse people with good or bad luck.

But yeah, the issue here is that a young group of witches did rituals and ceremonies that an older group of witches disapproved of, and discussed it on twitter.

Do you know about Double Moon theory?

Look into it.

I've received PMs about this thread and some members of our community (Name has been edited for obvious security reasons but you know, the Chinese Communist Cat avatar guy) are objecting to the framing of the discussion.

You're entitled to not believe in pot-pourri witchcraft but please do as if you did.
