Witchcraft moves to the mainstream in America as Christianity declines [tr]
UK Telegraph ^ | December 21, 2018 | Rachel Ray

Posted on 12/21/2018 6:29:13 AM PST by C19fan

Witchcraft is thriving in the US, with an estimated 1.5 million Americans now identifying as witches - more than the total number of Presbyterians. As Christianity declines across the country, paganism has swung to the mainstream, with witchcraft paraphernalia for sale on every high street and practises normalised across popular culture. In the past two years, it has also become darkly politicised.

Dakota Bracciale, a 29-year-old transgender/queer witch and co-owner of Catland Books and witch shop in Brooklyn, is pleased with the outcome of the ritual hex placed on US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in October. The curse, carried out from Catland Books, was well attended by witches, atheists ad humanists - and was followed around the country on social media.

The propaganda in this piece is amazing. And sickening. The hex was a success? Really? Where is the media’s usual dismissive phrase, “without evidence”?

A lot of that witchcraft is within so-called “Christian churches.”

Their hatred is the “hex.” The more they hate, the more they deem the “hex” worked.

“Heavenly Father, I pray in the name of they Son, the Lamb of God, Jesus, called Christ, the Messiah, that your Holy Spirit protect the President and these Justices and that whatever ‘hex’ these self proclaimed witches have called for will be turned back on their own heads till they repent. For you, o Lord, are God and there is no other, your Son is the Word through whom all things have been made and for whom all things have been made, and your Holy Spirit is mighty ... it is in Jesus’ name that I pray this.”

“is pleased with the outcome of the ritual hex placed on US Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in October.”

Swallowing poison and expecting Kavanaugh to die.

I think it was a Harvard study released recently that had Christianity on the increase.

Witchcraft will never move into the mainstream in the United States.

***1.5 million Americans now identifying as witches ***

A novelty religion made up on the spot, designed to make those with no power think they have power.

Dismal Rachel Ray of the Dismal UK Telegraph likes to write about dismal subjects such as exorcism, climate change, demonic possession, Donald Effing Trump, and Kratom, Biak, Ketum, Kakuam, Ithang, Thom, and Dum-Dum, the latter being the most descriptive as these marvels of spiritual minds do indeed make one go ‘dum-dum’ of which Dismal Ray is most likely a consumer and exemplary witcheroo prototype.

So Christianity is in decline eh, Ray? Well my Witch of the Day, thou shalt soak in Kratom whilst avoiding the reality of Londonstan. Have a nice day.

These atheists and humanists would really like to see a large-scale replacement of Christianity with Witchcraft? And these people pride themselves on being pro-science?

Whatever else one might say about this article, I think they are over-estimating the decline of Christianity.
