( No Title )
So, witches generally don’t expect they can materialize things out of the air. The general thought in witchcraft is that if you cast a spell for a better job, it doesn’t make your job materialize; it gives you a better chance of landing a job if you do the work of searching for and applying to a job.
Some witches don’t even believe that there’s any sort of metaphysical force at work. Some believe that the spell is giving them a purely psychological boost.
The kind of people I’m talking about in the LOA community are the ones who are essentially claiming stuff like if you assume a new job, you’ll just wake up in the morning and have it. You never had to apply, you never had to go into an interview; you just straight-up warped reality so you always had the job all along. And that’s the level of stuff I find pretty suspicious.
If somebody in the witchcraft community claimed they cast a spell and found a job afterward, I’d believe them – whether or not I personally believed that the two events were connected in the same exact way they believed they were connected. However, if they told me that they cast a spell and just woke up with a new job without ever having to apply or go to an interview, I would immediately assume they were full of shit.
(And yes, I have encountered plenty of witches who were full of shit, and I have in fact written about red flag behavior from witchy folks.)
