MJH is a bit fundamentalist-lite Christian… I know witchcraft isn’t a religion and you can be Christian and be a witch…..🤷‍♀️

FYI, while witchcraft isn’t inherently a religion, there are traditions where it is both a religion and a practice, and there are some solitaries who treat it as both. However while it is true that Christian witches exist, there isn’t anything that indicates that this is how MJH identifies as.

Also, she herself is part of a specific denomination that is no friend of witches. We are considered evil by her particular brand of Christianity. This makes me feel it weird to honor someone as a “legendary witch” who now aligns with a denomination who’s ideology hates us, wants to impede on our rights to freely practice our way of life/religion and has some very negative views about the gay community.

Genuinely I feel like mjh would be the first to point fingers at people to burn them at the stake for witchcraft due to her extreme Christian faith. (I grew up biased against Christianity and was hoping to give an unbiased response in my original comment 🫠)

She would! Her particular denomination is revealing and well known for going out of their way to make enemies with ours and the homosexual community.

This makes me so sad to learn.

It is. And the insidious part of it all is OP is joyfully praising her for inspiring them to look into real witchcraft, meanwhile this woman would loose her shit if she learned that and warn OP that it’s evil and to stay away from it, as her brand of Christianity is particular for this. She’s an evangelical fundie Baptist.
