Witchcraft is being simplified; that's a fact, especially in more Western-ish parts of the world. It has become not a craft that people used to study for ages, but rather a silly spiritualistic toy that claims you can do, basically, anything. People don't think about any of the existing canons and just stick some cloves into a lemon to hex their ex or stuff like that. People are running around "deities", genuinely thinking that a twitch from their Walmart candle is a sign from Aphrodite, or that after just reading "The Greater/Lesser Key of Solomon" they'll become professional demonologists, etc. And that's only if people even get to read at least something! Apparently, every second person now has a "low attention span" or self-diagnosed "ADHD".
So, what do you think about it? Are such changes something that bring witchcraft and other occult practices forward, or are they just something that shows the degradation of our society and generation? For me, to be honest, it all seems like a game, some RP that people decided to play without actually getting into it and bringing zero effort to the table. This is not really harmful, but at the same time kind of disrespectful to the actual craft and to people who dedicated their entire lives to digging into information that someone else is just too lazy to read or accept. It feels like such an ancient and sacred thing, held dear by lots of people, has just become a way of coping with harsh reality for TikTok kids. Which is not cool.
Anyways, I hope you're getting what I'm trying to say here. I just want to hear your thoughts about it and discuss this topic!
P.S. Sorry if my English is not perfect. It's not my native language. ️
