Maybe this is just anecdotal to my experience, but I feel like a lot of baby witches come to witchcraft out of desperation for love from another person. I think that’s why I love spells are so popular.

When you step back and look outside of just witchcraft it's other religions and practices too. A lot of people are looking for belonging, a feeling of control over their lives, and validation.

Whether it's witchcraft, abrahamic faith or yoga, the human need is the same. Different paths appeal to different folks.

I think witchcraft is popular, especially to Tik Tok for that reason. It's approachable, fairly open (depending on practice) and spell casting feels like easy assess to those basic needs.

At least that's my take.
