Weird Shit: 'Christian' Witch Hunters

These are the statistics for country of origin of visits to this blog in the past week: 74 hits from the United States, 20 from France, 13 from the United Kingdom, and 12 from Nigeria (the owner of the blog can see this information on the blogger dashboard). It is unusual for France to score this highly; normally the UK, USA & Nigeria are at least in first or second. What is interesting is it is very rare for a hit from another African country - certainly there have been none this week.

I have been wondering 'Why Nigeria' for some time. I tended to assume that it was some fundamentalist Christian who was praying for my salvation. I then thought perhaps it was someone wanting to read up about magic, I mean I'll deny it with every last breath in my body, but I would be gratified if I ended up unwittingly starting a 'tradition'. Who knows, the person or people in Nigeria reading this blog could even be 'witch hunters' of the sort that there have been calls to ban from Britain, because they only preach hate & child abuse (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/call-to-ban-witch-hunter-helen-ukpabio-who-poses-risk-to-children-9259872.html).

In a way, I really hope that is the case. Any loony fringe 'Christian' is welcome here (note the exclamation marks - it's extraordinary but I've met few witches who were genuinely off their head, but loads of 'Christians' who were - you can tell real Christians by their firm Christ-like love, rather than causing or covering up abuse or hysterical ramblings). No, genuinely welcome. Witchcraft is a service industry, & if those dangerous 'witch' hunters (in fact psychopathic victim hunters) are on my blog looking for evidence of a satanic conspiracy to enslave children, hopefully those children are free from their attentions. If nothing else that is a service to those children in danger, in the names of she who says, 'You will be free from slavery'.

This is actually largely the point of our use of the word 'witch', a word which has so many conflicting meanings, historically many of them negative, that it would seem counterproductive. In fact it is part of the inversion motif of the modern witchcraft movement - we take on a name almost entirely 'bad' & make it 'good'. I'm using inverted commas because any witch worth her salt is not seeking to deny the bad (we are not 'white light-ers') but to balance. We seek both half empty & half full at the same time.

Ironic, really, that the very thing these witch hunters are seeking out, is against their abuse, in the name of childrens' safety. So here is a little spell: it is at the end of this post, because the action of reading this post causes witch hunters to fall into their own harm & be unable to harm anyone else.

You who would seek to hunt 'witches' - the judgement of the witch is upon you. It is so.
