Yeah, I could see how that might be a tad troubling.
I think Western civilization has done some damage in that it mocks new age beliefs, Wiccan, and psychics. Western civilization tends to mock those things as silly because they don’t work because the world is not a weird supernatural world and it’s all about science. But that’s not the truth. People get into Wicca because it works. Black Magick works. Psychics do contact entities. But it’s all dark and they all invite demons into your life.
We mock these things as silly when we should be warning others of the real dangers of these practices.
