The Dark Side of WitchTok and Social Media Scams

Pagan Coffee Talk

Can magic influence politics, or is it a misuse of our spiritual powers? Join us for a compelling discussion on the ethics of blending politics with pagan practices. We tackle the controversial topic of using magic to affect election results, urging our fellow witches to steer clear of manipulative acts that infringe upon others' free will. Instead, we emphasize the power of positive political activism and the importance of voting for candidates who resonate with our beliefs. Learn why we believe that ritual spaces should remain free from political agendas, ensuring that our spiritual and communal practices remain pure and untainted by external influences and why we draw a line between spirituality and politics.
In the latter half of our episode, we address the rise of fraudulent practices within WitchTok and the commercialization of magic on social media. Just as Dionne Warwick's psychic line and Miss Cleo's persona misled many in the past, today's digital platforms are fraught with similar dangers. We discuss the ethical concerns of exploiting younger audiences and the urgent need for stricter regulation of these accounts.
