What Witchcraft is Not

In a world where misconceptions about witchcraft run rampant, it’s refreshing to hear a seasoned practitioner like Morgan set the record straight. In the latest episode of Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy, Morgan takes us on a journey from the controversial Olympics opening ceremony to a deep dive into what witchcraft is not.

The episode starts with a bang as Morgan discusses the uproar caused by the Olympics opening ceremony. The segment, which featured drag queens and Dionysus, was mistaken by many as a parody of the Last Supper. Morgan meticulously dissects the scene and its supposed inspiration from various pagan celebration paintings. She does not shy away from expressing her opinion, stating that the depiction looked just as much like the Last Supper as it did any pagan feast painting. This controversy serves as a springboard for Morgan to explore broader misconceptions about witchcraft.

Morgan’s first point is that witchcraft is no longer the black sheep or scapegoat of religions. She acknowledges that while witches are still not universally accepted, the stigma is diminishing. She argues that global conflicts are rarely, if ever, fought in the name of paganism, highlighting a shift in societal perceptions.

Next, Morgan tackles the notion that witchcraft is anti-Christian. She admits to poking fun at Christians but clarifies that this does not equate to being anti-Christian. She emphasizes that many core values across religions overlap, and being closed-minded towards Christianity is just as harmful as the reverse. Morgan shares a personal anecdote about her initial reluctance to work with Mary Magdalene due to her Christian associations, only to later embrace her as a patron deity.

The third misconception Morgan addresses is the idea of witchcraft as a trend or accessory. She laments that some people, particularly the younger generation, treat witchcraft as a rebellious label rather than a serious spiritual path. Morgan stresses that witchcraft is a lifestyle and devotion, not a cool party trick to impress friends.

Morgan’s fourth point is that witchcraft is not a fix-all for life’s problems, especially if one is unwilling to do the work. She explains that while witchcraft can be empowering, it requires dedication, shadow work, and a deep understanding of energy and magick. It’s not about snapping your fingers and expecting life to be perfect; it’s about putting in the effort to manifest your desires.

Finally, Morgan concludes that witchcraft is not one size fits all. She encourages listeners to experiment, have fun, and find what works for them. Whether it’s daily devotions, moon phases, or planetary alignments, each witch’s path is unique.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the true essence of witchcraft. Morgan’s insights are not only enlightening but also serve as a reminder that witchcraft is a deeply personal and evolving practice. So, grab your headphones and tune in to Busy, Gritty, Inked, and Witchy to debunk the myths and embrace the magick.
