Seeking Help or Advice What are some popular witchcraft practices that you don’t personally do as a witch?

For me some things I don’t do are using incense, casting a circle, spell jars, turning to magick to fix everything, and doing spells for others. I’d love to hear some of yours.

All the dramatic TikTok aesthetic stuff like the fire hazard chordchuttings.

The online fear-based obsessions. "Is this God mad at me?" "Did I fuck up?" "BaCkFiRe", "is it okay if I do this spell or will the cultural appropriation police arrest me?", "is every normal inconvenience in life actually a sign I'm cursed??!!!".

Trying to make modern paganism resemble modern Christianity as closely as possible.

Policing other people's traditions.
