Want your partner back? A relationship repair spell, sold on Etsy (originally $158, but if you act now only $39.52), may do the trick.
“Luna and her grandmother exceeded my expectations,” one review crows. “They gifted me a protection shield as well. I began to see results just hours later after the ritual was completed. My partner showed up after not seeing him for over 30 days.”
Welcome to the world of Etsy Witches.
Etsy is a platform selling unique, handcrafted goods. You can find perfect Valentine’s Day pendant. For whatever reason, it’s also the platform where witches have found a coven — I mean, a haven. There are spell-casters for good luck, revenge, career advancement, marry rich, good weather.
When influencer Becca Bloom, the “queen of #RichTok, saw her wedding day was going to be ruined by rain, she hastily hired two witches from Etsy to change the weather. It worked. According to forecast, 100% chance of rain, and no rain.
“The Etsy Witches saved the day,” one commenter said on the video of Bloom’s wedding.
American culture has progressed lightyears away from scientific skepticism. The folks who have rejected God are no longer finding solace in evolution. There are literally millions of people who believe in tarot cards, astrology and casting spells.
A clear weather spell on Etsy (unknown if it’s the one Bloom used) has over 21K reviews, averaging 4.8 out of 5 stars.
There’s an even more sinister side to the surging belief in the occult.
Jezabel, ultra feminist online news, bragged it had contracted witches to curse Charlie Kirk in an article titled “We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk” on Sept. 8. Two days later Kirk was killed Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
Jezebel deleted the original article, saying it was satire, and repudiated political violence (at least publicly).
But was it just a crazy coincidence, an extreme joke that took a shocking, tragic turn?
If you believe only in the material world, you might find this whole article laughable. But if you believer there is a God, and if you believe in the Bible, then you also should believe in demons. One simple fact is intriguing, millions are drawn to occult practices because they seem to work.
“Tarot cards work, that psychic readings work, that all of this stuff has real power behind it,” says Taylor Alesia, who covered the subject on a YouTube video. “In the Bible, we even see a story of a girl who was messing with the same stuff Becca Bloom and so many others are messing with right now. And the people surrounded by this girl had much to gain by her fortunetelling — until she found herself in the presence of Paul, Silas, Luke and Timothy.
“And the spiritual power of divination left her body when the demonic spirits inside of her heard a name. the only name they have no power against and that is Jesus Christ,” Taylor adds. “So although there is a lot to gain when it comes to the use of witchcraft and magic, there is a whole lot more to lose.”
Naturally, the FBI didn’t take seriously the Etsy witches, so they’re not part of the criminal investigation into Kirk’s assassination.
Also on Etsy: custom voodoo dolls, shaman Druid horn headpieces, 5th level spell candles. Yeah, a bunch of stuff.
Even more sinister, Taylor says, are the oodles of people being hoodwinked by the powers of darkness. Now that culturally the U.S. collectively is ruling out the truth of God, alternative religions and alternative powers are seen as exotic and attractive.
“All I could think about is if I had TikTok when I was 11 years old and I saw the situation, I don’t know, I just think about the seeds that are being planted,” Taylor says.
