where beauty is love ♥
Mary Hood is the Beauty Editor at the lovely vegan network Peaceful Dumpling. She is also a writer for the blog at Barbara Michelle Jacobs, an NYC-based eco-friendly jeweler, and a writer at Debb Report, a site about NYC’s best beauty destinations.
Naturally, the sweeping modern witch movement has received criticism that it’s a trend without teeth. Jessa Crispin, co-creator of the Spolia Tarot Deck posits,
“The whole Instagram witchcraft shit bothers the hell out of me. I hate a dilettante…It’s okay to take things deeply seriously. But people treat tarot, astrology, and witchcraft like it’s okay to just dabble in it, and that bothers me.”

On Not Being Able to Read by Jessa Crispin | Ohio Edit
Ohio Edit is an art and literary journal on the Internet. ED: She mentions Kathy Acker in her writing Thumbs up! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathy_Acker
PLUS she mentions that she can't read for shit for herself sometimes which is NORMAL.
She continues, “I don’t think what we have is a true witchcraft revival. I think what we have is a fad. I do meet serious practitioners, but they are drowned the fxxx out by dabblers. Tourists. In the way that everyone is a feminist while doing absolutely nothing to pursue or understand that ideology, everyone is a witch while doing nothing to pursue or understand that religion.”
Ed: Well — Illegal use of F.A.D. word alert. 2 billion dollars US in Movies and Books? shhhhh on the F.A.D. word

Her critique reminds us that it’s never okay to casually co-opt something that is sacred to others, and for those of us who are new to any field or practice—especially one with a tortured past—listening more than speaking (or posting on the gram) can be the most respectful thing we can do.
Being a beginner at something is different than merely dabbling, however. Further, we don’t need to be a seasoned practitioner of a spiritual practice to take it seriously and treat it with the reverence it deserves. Like The Fool of the Major Arcana, we can jump into a new adventure with an open heart with a childlike sense of wonder—and come out better for having invested our time in exploration.

How our contemporary, IG-fueled obsession with magic and all thing witch-related can actually empower us and our communities.
Shortly before her 30th birthday, a friend of sent me a tweet reading, “When women turn 30, they have to pick a subclass: sea witch, forest witch, fire witch, air witch, space witch,” to which I replied that her birthday would mark the birth of our coven. A few […]
