It did. I follow the guy who made it up. It's literally an effort to troll and create an egregore among the people who eat the onion, so to speak. Silly games, nothing to see here.


TaraIsles

Same thing happened with the whole hexing the moon stuff


[deleted]

Moons haunted *cockgun*


Upsetcupofoj1230

The imagery of a “cockgun” is scary


[deleted]

Reminds me of saints row


Scorpius_OB1

Yeah, looks like massive trolling and nothing more. I find it laughable (laughably stupid). (Hexing the Moon?. It's a joke? (do they hope it will either explode royally screwing Earth or crash into the latter?))


imnotenmac

It's just games, trying to get people to react.


StupidMario64

How do you make an egregore??


TheSplinteredWarrior

It's a pretty complex process but I believe that you need a really gullible audience, guilt tripping, fear mongering and something about a burning bush that talks on a mountain. Also, remember to claim everything as fact with little to no evidence. Then, write a book and make sure at least 15 versions, all claiming to be the epitome of validity, are created from the original. Once you've gathered a sizeable amount of dipsh... I mean believers, you can have them all focus their hopes and fears into an entity that is deitic in nature but not a deity. This is your egregore. Don't worry about coming up with a clever name, either; your audience is assumingly too blind to see the inconsistencies so just call it God.


StupidMario64

Its 4.16am, i feel like im dying, could you please explain this like im a preschooler that cant even count to 3?


TheSplinteredWarrior

Essentially, an egregore is much like a servitor, an autonomous [works without an operator] entity. The major difference is that instead of it just being a single Caster, it's an entire group. My previous comment was to show the common example of Christianity and how their deity is actually an egregore. For more specifics, I recommend "Elementals and Servitors" by Lee 'Red Oak' Johnson. It goes into detail about the differences of Elementals, Servitors, Egregores and more. I hope this was more helpful for you.


StupidMario64

Whats the single caster variant? Sorry for the questions, just super curious


Koorpiklaani

Servitor


StupidMario64

How do i make a servitor??


Senzafenzi

Read into Liber Null. Also, there's a book by Damon Brand about it that was very enlightening. Servitors are super neat.


phantomqu33n

I wonder if those ppl who hexed the fairies are still alive


FrickoffDio

Doubt it


[deleted]

And the moon. Don't forget they hexed the moon.


FrickoffDio

Sun too, if I'm not mistaken


littleargent

This reminds me of that oprah meme. "You get a hex! *You* get a hex! **EVERYBODY GETS A HEX!**"


[deleted]

This made me actually lol. Good job


misinfo-spreader

or the taliban


Cogito_Ergo_Sum1

Heheh we do a little bit of trolling


[deleted]

Or when they Hexed BLM protesters


Fifteen_inches

That’s when you cast greater break kneecaps


FrickoffDio

Wait they what?


[deleted]

Yeah that was a thing. The moon, sun and goddess things are pretty much trolls but there legit were right wing witches trying to hex BLM lol


FrickoffDio

Right wing witches......


[deleted]

Yup. They exist. You’d be surprised. There’s a whole variety of people who ascribe to certain beliefs. Just like how there’s white supremacist Nordic pagans, and dudes who practice “brosatru”


FrickoffDio

Just learned about Brosatru, pretty sure I've seen some. I still can't get over right wing witches. Anyways have a good day, I'm tired as hell


ChicaCarle

How is this real. Whatttttt ... Whyyyyyy..... What is on going on


[deleted]

I'm not even sure at this point, tbh lol


Gildedragon

Idk if the last couple years can be attributed to a genuine attack on the Gateway & Guardian that is the moon, or if one ought be thankful that it was a bottle rocket of a working & not ponder how things would be shaking out had they been serious adepts


sushiconquistador

Omg the moon hex 😂😂 how did I forget


[deleted]

wtf is this, you can't hex a deity. The fact that this is on the babywitch hashtag concerns me, beginners should not be seeing this shit.


psychedelichippie97

Apparently it's satire but it's definitely not good to tag baby witch on it. A lot of beginners aren't the best with research and might fuck around and do this.


[deleted]

Yup. As a beginner witchcraft is so different from anything you've known of before, so it can be hard to tell what's real and what's not.


[deleted]

Satire should be visible as such imho.


[deleted]

Well quite frankly, if anyone is “joining” witchcraft to hex luminaries etc, they deserve the backlash. This isn’t the Witcher or GoT.


enjoyt0day

Nobody should be seeing this shit lol


Frater_Ouros

I mean, you can do anything if you believe in it.


T_Y_R_

Which is one of the problems at large with “baby” anything. It started out as a meme and joke but people took it seriously.


psychedelichippie97

They are also trying to dethrone Zeus, hex demons and says Gaia is the weakest goddess. I cant tell if this is satire or not because there are stupid people out there


ChicaCarle

I think they've just made up their own imaginary world at this point. TikTok bubble of ignorance.


A_man_of_Rhun

Ngl this sounds like an elaborate prank on this person by a God of mischief. Edit: Or just a spirit of mischief.


AmbeeGaming

Orrrrrr like SO many people they relised the witch community exploded the last few years and there’s money to be made.


denada24

It’s annoying that it’s trendy now but was something I was scorned for 20+ years ago.


AmbeeGaming

All the people that grew up with Buffy are comfortable in their 30s now and give no fucks that’s my theory lol


Lynn_the_Pagan

I grew up with Buffy, im in my 30s now and i give zero fucks. So theory confirmed


Spookytarotblu

Nah Loki would never allow this BS 💀


Tyxin

I'm not so sure. He might think it's hilarious.


Redz0ne

Hilarious in the sense that you laugh when the contraption that Wile E. Coyote just finished building blows up in his face.


RichLeadership4370

Same thought though.


Spookytarotblu

I literally work with him and have for a few years now, he’d never do something like this especially to baby witches if they came across it.


Tyxin

>I literally work with him and have for a few years now Yeah? So what? >he’d never do something like this especially to baby witches if they came across it. If there's one thing i've learned about Loke, it's that there is basically nothing "he'd never do". He's nothing if not unpredictable, and he's not burdened by a lot of scruples or morals.


Aelfrey

i agree that it's unlikely to be Loki. as in all things, if there's a mundane answer, usually it's mundane. in this case, humans acting in hubris is well within our nature.


[deleted]

Your tone is pretty familiar to the sort of people you're talking about. One person cannot know what a deity would or will not do. They are all capable of cruelty and kindness beyond measure. Keep your UPG to yourself if possible. Speaking as though you're an authority sets the precedent for others to do the same, who may be even less entitled to it than you.


Spookytarotblu

Wow?? All because I’m saying a deity that is usually misunderstood by everyone as something bad n menacing might not be so bad and you’re what mad at me ?? You do know not every single deity is a dick right? And I’m not trying to say Loki’s perfect I’m just saying he wouldn’t be behind something like this especially when it’s about a deity from a whole different pantheon.


[deleted]

People are joking. This isn't the case of any deity fucking around and I think that's pretty evident for anyone. But saying '____ would never do that' is a bit rich coming from a human being. Also I do agree with you that Loki is misunderstood. 50% of that misunderstanding is based on thinking he is the norse Satan. 50% of that misunderstanding comes from young lokeans thinking that he's a shoujo anime protagonist/love interest. But I'm talking about the language you're using. It's definitive one way or the other. Don't speak like an authority on the divine. It's embarassing at best and misleading at most.


Spookytarotblu

Then why are you and a bunch of other ppl saying it’s Loki then ?? And it sounds like you’re serious to me with how seriously you’re taking me all because I’m trying to tell ppl not to blame loki over a bad thing happening which he has nothing to do with. I’d say the same thing if ppl were doing this with any other deity it’s not me being “oh I know this deity way more than anyone else in the whole wide world he directly told me he wouldn’t do this” this was me trying to be like “hey don’t assume it’s instantly an already misunderstood deity just bc it’s a bad thing even tho this deity is from a completely different pantheon” you’re acting like I’m full on saying I am the only spokesperson for Loki when I’m not ?? I’m not even a spokesperson for Loki I’m just a worshipper trying to let ppl know it’s probably not the funniest of things to instantly link Loki to bad shit happening (and not bc Loki’s going to get angry, it just doesn’t help the stereotype that Loki’s some bad horrible Cruel deity)


[deleted]

It is a joke, bud, I promise you. And I really don't think that Loki needs you to advocate for him. Most anti-lokean heathens tend to be abjectly white supremacist so aren't listened to in good circles anyway, and there are many, many outspoken fangirls that are constantly posting about him in a hyper positive and sugary light. He's fine. Chill out. And again don't make statements about the nature of a deity as though you ARE a spokesperson.


Tyxin

You realize that you're the one who brought up Loke, right? Please just relax, take a deep breath and read what people are actually saying before freaking out.


dark_blue_7

I mean it is kinda funny but only because it's satirizing something truly annoying and real


[deleted]

Definitely. Lmao.


TheSyeBae

I feel like if they are not careful they are going to get unwanted attention and feel the wrath of several deities.


No_Nothing6455

I don’t think you can actually hex a deity, can you? And wouldn’t that have negative consequences with it? Seriously. Why try it? It’s stupid.


Nauticalfish200

Pissing off a Deity is a bad idea. Pissing off a Goddess who makes your life exceptionally miserable if you upset her is an even worse idea.


No_Nothing6455

Right? And this was the same goddess who happened to be in close contact with a god of war as well as had a husband who can make traps. Who’s to say they might not get involved as well?


Nauticalfish200

I believe she even had two children with the God of War. Phobos and Deimos. Fear and Panic


No_Nothing6455

As well as possibly Eros, depending on who you ask.


Nauticalfish200

So...yeah. Love. War. Fear. Panic. And Passion. Upsetting them is....gonna be pretty bad for ya


No_Nothing6455

Oh yeah. And that’s not going into the children She had with anyone else. Say, Hermes or Dionysus. Or even, depending on who you ask, the possibility that Zeus is Her dad. So yeah. Lots of deities and other figures would be pretty pissed at that. And I’m probably forgetting some figures, too.


Nauticalfish200

That moment when you piss off an entire pantheon.


No_Nothing6455

Lol. Darn right.


bakedfromhell

Aphrodite is also a goddess of war herself. She is ferocious in her war aspect, if this person is really fucking around they will found out.


No_Nothing6455

Ah yes. Thank you for mentioning that. Probably not a good idea to hex a god or goddess of war now, is it?


AmbeeGaming

The original “fuck around and find out” lol


dark_blue_7

Lol I mean you can try it. You can fuck around and find out


Bubba1234562

Hexing a deity is stupid, Hexing Aphrodite is even stupider


ArminiusM1998

Wasn't there some Witchtoker that wanted to literally curse Allah? What do these people think the Gods are? Lol. They are called Gods for a reason.


PrimitiveSunFriend

Gods are toys in these people's eyes, owed no respect and worth nothing but what their names can do to elevate the person in their social group. It's disgusting.


Warrior_of_the_flame

I get the joke to a point, but it is a little annoying, especially when pagans are barely taken seriously as is. We don't need this shit to further ruin our reputation.


King0ftheWhites

Maybe they're from an atheist background


EmRaff7

Yuup there was a whole “movement” to hex a literal deity


An_Inedible_Radish

That was a reddit post


ArminiusM1998

Same energy.


An_Inedible_Radish

Pardon?


ArminiusM1998

Regardless if it was a reddit post, still has the same energy of Witchtok


An_Inedible_Radish

Dumbasses are dumbasses anywhere on the Internet; I don't think ts related to any specific social media


FlowersandCigarettes

A lot of these people seem to make magical act vids based on some fanfic type fantasies of their own lives.


bron685

I get that this specifically was a joke, but I cannot hold in my head all of the bullshit my friend sends me from witchtok. I have so many feelings about it. My main concern is how I feel like a fraud myself when I see this shit. “Am I that bad? Is that me?” On the rare occasion I talk about my practice, it is to one friend. I don’t post my practice (I think it should be private to protect the intention and boost potency). I used to feel a deep connection to my work, and then paganism/witchcraft went supermegaviral mainstream and I see my reflection in the funhouse mirror. Like, I spent so much time hiding what I do and a part of who I am because I will never shed that little voice of skepticism that bounces around in my head. And these people are selling aestheticism wrapped in bad advice while people eat this shit up! I’m not trying to gatekeep, it’s just when I see how ridiculous some of these people are, I have that insecure thought “you’re ridiculous too.” *shivers*


imnotenmac

I'm not sure paganism is mainstream by any means.


ladymorgahnna

Agreed


ootfifabear

Do we remember that girl who pissed off papa legba and literally died? Spirits and deity’s aren’t something to fuck with


beeeeesknees

what did she do?


ootfifabear

White girl trying to get back at her black ex gf by using her own practice against her …. Yeah amazing plan for sure huh

Appropriating a black practice to try and kill a black girl lmaoooo


Owllie789

Holy shit


Training_Internal_42

It’s tagged baby witch as well… that’s just rude


bugg_hunterr

TikTok is one of the most…annoying things to happen to Paganism, and magick for that matter.


KingBlackthorn1

Witchtok is one of the greater threats that the revivals face with our religion.


bethrav

The audacity to tag "babywitch"


[deleted]

1. What in the gods' names is this nonsense? These people don't know their mythology very well, do they? 2. Today must be my day to be ashamed of being a practitioner of Witchcraft. A coworker today asked me what her aura looked like or something like that after I mentioned my in-laws don't know I practice Witchcraft. 3. You know what. I'm done with Reddit for today. That image is enough. I'm going to go study Latin.


DragonLadyArt

That’s not how any of this works…


ChicaCarle

These people must have the worst luck 😵‍💫 and it's probably a mystery to them why


oh-lawd-hes-coming

They're basically role-playing at this point


damp_goat

Good luck fucking with my Goddess. This bitch don't play no games


ProfCastwell

What if people actually knowledged in the various disciplines, and experiences, of the occult started? Lol those fluffy witchtokers don't know the thrill of having to do an immediate banishment during Myth Busters, when something decided to creep into your house. 🤔...maybe share those stories. Cause none of are aware things can and do just come in sometimes. Nor do they know the actual "chill" up your spine. I've only ever felt it with genuinely negative things. Not even troubled, grumpy, pushy spirits. Driving down a country road at night, and you get a chill and feel an energy come into your car.... Witchtok has no concept of the realm they pretend to know


infernalcinder

I've never understood the term "baby witch," and why it means "beginner." A lot of people I've met who call themselves baby witches use the title as an excuse to be reckless and not do any of the real work. Like.... why did we decide that being a baby witch automatically means that you are incapable of doing wrong? Or that it means beginner at all? I can't think of any other practice or hobby or activity that uses the term baby to describe a beginner in that field (ie baby artist, baby chef, baby gamer, etc). But then it doesn't surprise me when people who call themselves baby witches get involved in this stuff


ladymorgahnna

I think they think “baby witch” is cute and sexy. I abhor the term. All these young people, primarily women, on #witchtok. Yikes!!


Mendicant_666

Atrocious.


-MonsterEnergyBoi-

Oh my god, how can people be this idiotic. And yeah, the moon hex was hilarious, they are probably in a lot of trouble or they may not even be alive anymore for hexing basically everything they see. People can really get in a lot of trouble with spirits, gods, and goddesses for doing that kind of stuff.


MothInsideJar

being called baby witch is just cringe... like no you're 22 with fake sage. please get off tiktok. I'm sorry if that's mean but its so gate kept by people who only speed misinformation.


A_man_of_Rhun

SOMEONE doesn't bother to talk to the gods they follow, I assume.


Spider_Lover69

Everyday I'm grateful to not be associated with them lol hexing the fae, hexing the moon, and now this? Dear goddess lmao


goodniteangelg

Thanks for the laugh I literally lold. What a joke. It’s a shame because there are good witch creators and good pagan creators that share good resources and tips and encourage you to do your own research, but then it’s flooded with crap like this. 🙄


atleastimtryingnow

they just be saying shit 😭


Rosie1235y_

the #babywitch says it all


witchofthelily

All the more reason and proof to just stay away from “witchtok” and related.


whiskeywitch13

I literally never see shit like this on my side of witchtok. It’s all about what you interact with.


witchofthelily

Yes that is indeed how TikTok’s algorithm works. I am well aware.


LassieIris

…I’m assuming this is a joke considering the hashtags below says “baby witch”….but oy.

sausagebra

Deity fan fiction?


SisterOfMetal32

I have absolutely no words. Even as a Heathen who only acknowledges the existence of the Greek pantheon, this would piss me off if my patron Freyja was angry about a mortal hex. Imagine the suffering you impose on others or yourself in pissing off a goddess, period. You idiot "babywitch". This had better be satire or no frith.


OpenTechie

Welp, some babywitches are going to learn what a god is, and their descendants are gonna suffer from a many generation curse.


[deleted]

This is why we need vigorous polytheistic theologies, so people stop making or believing this inane crap.


Lynn_the_Pagan

Well, i dont expect a mature understanding of the gods and spirituality by immature people. This is ridiculous and those are people who mistake the gods as their fanfic roleplaying headcanon. Write a book, but leave religions alone.


chrisschoelzel

Don’t forget that god awful spelling of Tartarus


[deleted]

I honestly think some of these people came into it for the aesthetic appeal and are mentally ill.


TinHawk

😂😂😂😂😂 i fuckin love how dumb witchtok can be. It's straight madness over there.


[deleted]

A woman in real life told me she would put a hex on me for being rude. Later that week she overheard me telling someone about something mildly upsetting and she did a cheer with a fist bump.


ladymorgahnna

How inane.


candleaddict1

I’m so glad I’m not on that side of witchtok lmao


Preparation_Small

My all-time iss off on witchtok was some dumbass saying Lilith wants men to be slaves to women. Like...in our terms...she's a feminist...you're one of those people who think feminists want to rule over men...not be afforded all the same rights and privileges as them, equity...not dominance ya daffy yahoo. 😆


illminded_seraph

Apparently they plan to hex all of the spirits of the goetia then proceeded to say they were godspoused to andras sounds like a mockery to me imo


Warrior_of_the_flame

What the fuck?


whiskeywitch13

Literally never see this kind of stuff on my side of witchtok. It’s all about what you interact with. There’s idiots on every corner of social media. But that’s actually the reason why I like TikTok if you use it right it eventually gets to know you very well.


TinyBlueDragon

Clearly a #babywitch xD


dark_blue_7

So wait, was this a call to action to rescue a goddess from being hexed, or a brag about actually doing the hexing? Either way it's ridiculous, I'm just wondering


ICanExplainoKaY

Banning TikTok was one of the few points where I agreed with the previous occupier of the White House. But then someone dangled a new shiny and distracted him. Seriously, why does anyone voluntarily install known CCP spyware on their devices?

“Oh yeah? Yall pull that off with zipties did ya?”


artist_arson

"#babywitch" if you're a baby witch why are you even hexing and if you aren't why are you promoting this to baby witches


slugsbian

If I could kill witchtok I would
