Pop Culture Frenzy, Round 73

Welcome once again to Pop Culture Frenzy.   According to assorted polls done in the past several years, the number of people in the United States who identify as witches has increased.  So much so, that now it is believed that there are more witches than there are Protestants.

Why?
Fluffy?

Christianity has been effectively vilified 

to the point that God is cast as a toxic white male

 tyrant misogynist.  Little wonder that some kooks 

and dimwits seek to fill that void with silly pseudo

self empowering mumbo jumbo.  Thus, we have neo witches

 prancing around celebrating a post Christian era.

Hostmaster:  that's deep.

They tell themselves they have power. 

 Like those neo hags who put

 a hex on the president.

Witchcraft is a return to the earth and
 nature.  All answers are there.

No wonder squirrels are always

 digging in the earth!

What a hoot!

The hip and woke turn to the earth rather than
the God who created the earth.  Most of the older witches were

 probably into New Age crap a couple decades ago.  That was a

 repackaging of gnosticism.   They keep reinventing

 themselves, each time pretending to have found truth.

They are returning to a simpler more authentic

 way of relating to our world.  No hate, no greed.

 Simply sacrificing goats.  How authentic.

  No greed?  Thanks to witchery, the psychic services industry

 is busier than ever.  Witches are capitalists.
They must have some wicked self hate going.

 I'm suddenly hungry for goat.

Witches don't do sacrifices.

That's promoting a stereotype.  

So no Chevon Pie at your coven's pot lucks then?

This round is over.

It's a good thing practicing voodoo would be cultural 

appropriation or we'd really be in trouble.
