Why Witchcraft Is Feared (And Why That’s Exactly the Point)

Let’s get one thing clear: witchcraft was never supposed to be safe.

Not to colonizers.
Not to patriarchs.
Not to churches.
Not to kings.
And definitely not to the systems that profit off your silence, your submission, and your suffering.

Witchcraft is feared not because it’s evil—but because it liberates. Because it calls your power back home. Because it teaches you that your prayers don’t need a middleman, your protection doesn’t need permission, and your revenge doesn’t need approval.

They fear witchcraft because it works.

🔥 Why They Want You Small

If you’ve ever been told that you’re “too much”…
Too emotional.
Too intuitive.
Too angry.
Too magical.

Congratulations—you’re exactly the kind of person the old world was designed to burn.

Witchcraft gives people—especially women, queer folks, and the marginalized—a direct hotline to the divine, the dead, the ancestors, and the forces that shaped this universe. That’s not small. That’s not meek. That’s dangerous to anyone who built their power on your obedience.

They don’t fear witchcraft itself.
They fear you, empowered, awake, and unafraid.

🕯️ What They Burned, We Rebuild

Historically, witch hunts weren’t about magic—they were about control. A widow with land? Burn her. A healer with herbs? Burn her. A girl who said no? Burn her. A queer person? A midwife? A questioner? Burn. Them. All.

Witchcraft was used as a pretext to silence the sacred rage of anyone who threatened the status quo. But the spells survived. The spirits kept whispering. And now we rise from the ashes with hexes in our handbags and altar oil on our skin.

🐍 Witchcraft Is a Mirror—and They Can’t Look

The real gag is: witchcraft reflects back what they fear in themselves.

When we light a candle and speak to our ancestors, we remind the world that there are powers deeper than capital, older than institutions, and louder than any pulpit.

When we hex, it’s because we’re no longer willing to sit in silence while harm goes unchecked.

When we heal, it’s because we refuse to let the poison they gave us stay in our bloodline.

They hate witchcraft because it’s honest. It’s unapologetic. It calls a curse a curse and refuses to forgive what hasn’t been made right.

🌑 The Point Was Never to Be Palatable

If someone’s afraid of your craft, good.
It means your spell hit.
It means they felt it.
It means they know they can’t control you.

Witchcraft is sacred rebellion. It’s ancestral technology. It’s a declaration of sovereignty in a world that would rather you stay gagged, drained, and dependent.

So don’t make yourself smaller to make others comfortable.

Let them fear you. Let them talk. Let them squirm.

Because while they run their mouths, you’re out here changing timelines.
