I will never not be annoyed that book stores put Wicca and other non-Christian witchy faiths in the "occult, UFO, and other stuffs" section.

Like okay, I'm not Wiccan? But Wicca is a legit faith based on much older practices and deities. They deserve to be treated with respect. As do all of the witchy faiths.

If u go to bookstores, tell them. If u run one, do better.

"Oh but Dio, Wicca is not legit bc it's new and not Judeo "

Rly? Strong words esp coming from Christians, who are from a religious fam tree that has stolen and overwritten so much from older faiths w/o credit or respect that it's basically the Pirate Bay of religious appropriation.

"Wicca is just white women's crystal paganism, blah blah I read Tumblr and am an insufferable gatekeeping shit witch"

Get fked with a rusty pineapple, trash. As if the magic community doesnt have enough probs w/o u trying to divide us.

@GuillaumeRossolini

I mean I've heard of it? I have ofc never used stuffs like that bc I'm just a good gork who never breaks any rules.

@tiefling Good point. Now I'm tempted to check Wiccan literature at any bookstore I enter.

It's annoying bc even "alt" bookstores do it. Maybe its just what bookstores do, but it really sends a message of "we consider Judeochristianity better than everything else."

Like I usually see:

Religion (Usually means Islam, Christianity, Judaism. Sometimes Hindu or Buddhism)

World Religion (Usually Hindu, Buddhism. Sometimes Islam is in here. Sometimes a few others like Shinto)

Mythology (Most "classic" religions. Norse, Greek, etc.)

Occult / Spirituality / New Age: Witchy. Usually with UFOs and stuffs, alongside like... cryptids and self help books.
