I started learning and practicing Witchcraft and the Occult in 1983 during the Great Satanic Panic Era. I faced so much discrimination. When I was in High School and people knew that I listened to Metal music and saw some of my jewelry, oh boy! Even in junior highscool due to my Metal music and my beliefs got me into fights. In 2000 I was fired from a very good job due to it. I could tell you more but it's personal so I will only discuss this in private message. So sorry you went through this. That good ole' Christian love and so called tolerance.
As a Christian Witch I see you, I hear you, I love you, and I respect you. Blessed be. Oh and I’m absolutely wild about Pan and Hecate right now. ❤ Christine
Ok im so sorry i must have miss read part of your comment along with another. Ok well iwas shown your child will be back in your arms. Skylar will return. Have no fear sister. I will fervently pray and incant much. Again thank you so much for helpind me understand the situation clearly. Now i know more on what to pray for. You have a brother here in Indiana. May Goddess and God answer this prayer with great haste. And i will pray against these evil neighbors and for them to be caught in their lies.blessings love and divine protection to you.
I wonder what local news stations would think about the discrimination that you experienced at your job? Also, see about contacting politicians from local on up to the highest levels.
Totally the theme of the astrology today with Saturn in Pisces. This has come up over and over for me in the last 24 hours. It's all I've been posting about, and then this popped up. I shared it before it even got to the intro lol. Thanks so much for this episode! Sincerely, all pagans living in the buckle of the Bible belt. ❤
I'm a Pagan,and being black i can't be open with my family about my path. It gets really lonely,i really don't have friends that I can be open with. I totally understand how anyone feels when it comes to religious discrimination.
I know this feeling well and have personally singled out many time for believing the way I do. I learned keeping a quiet mouth I get a lot further. I also am in construction
Hello I am from South Africa. I have been accused and discriminated most of my adult life for been on the Metaphysical Path by jobs family and friends. That is a crime indeed. You would think in the 21st century now humanity has evolved somewhat. I am now 64. Blessings to all.
I’m very fortunate to live in the San Francisco Bay Area where paganism and Wicca are very much accepted and embraced. There are those who are misinformed and willfully ignorant, but luckily I’ve not encountered them. Awesome and very informative and much needed video. Thank you and blessed be!
I am a firm believer in starting your own business and having control over all the aspects of our own lives. Those of us who are all like minded will help to support our communities and friends. Also, those who judge and believe they are superior are in reality a minority. There are more of us. Blessed be Brother.❤
I am so sorry you were discriminated against, that is unacceptable. I have dedicated my channel as well as my time and energy to fighting against all these misconceptions directed toward not only the Wicca, but also Occultists, Pagans and Satanists. I continue to struggle with the limited growth my channel. The barrage of negative "you're going to hell" comments I constantly receive. Minority beliefs are constantly belittled, castigated and relegated to the bin of "fringe" beliefs. You have the right to practice and believe as you choose, as outlined in our 1st Amendment to the Bill of Rights. So, I hope you continue to speak and express yourself and please do not let these narrow-minded bigots ever silence you! Blessed Be!
I am sorry you experienced that. It is wrong & for sure illegal! You're very brave to talk about this on your channel & thank you for sharing your story with us. I honestly believe better things are in store for you & your family. Pretty wild how things fall in place like a crazy puzzle! Sending my best of wishes, Blessed Be ❤🥀
I will always laugh in the face of those christians that think the modern western way they celebrate christmas is a pure christian thing. Born and raised in Scandinavia, norse paganism is my cultural heritage and all I see is a bunch of christians celebrating winter solstice in the old norse way. That mistletoe for example? are they aware of the story behind it and that they are just celebrating Baldir? 😅 Moving to the New England region soon and I will keep my culture and celebrate my heritage paganism and welcome anyone interested to learn or just experience it to join me ❤
You obviously know nothing. I extensively studied the numerous eye witness accounts of Jesus rolling with an old fat man in red pajamas, Jesus being humble gave this Santa dude all the street cred, which is why he's honored on Jesus's b-day.
I worked as a security guard and the manager of the building called me in to talk my Pensacola necklace and one of the clients had made a complaint about it I respectively said it wouldn't be fair if I can't wear my chosen religion and other people can so I told the manager you can take it up with my boss which thankfully my boss didn't care enough to give me a phone call after
Cool (about the store). If you have been discriminated against, please file a lawsuit. “Money talks and bullsh*t walks”, as the old saying goes. “Take no shit”, right?
Blessed be. To bad you don’t live in the Netherlands. It’s not perfect here but still, a lot more accepting. Well, if you ever come to the Netherlands, let me know. I’ll make you dutch stew and “hutspot”. Love you both.
Great video. I keep my mouth shut at work when it comes to my practice. I know exactly what would happen if I started talking about my beliefs. It's very frustrating. And to hear some Christians talk about how they are being prosecuted these days. Give me a Fing break. Best of luck fellow traveler. Justice finds a way.
Because of this I am very quiet about my beliefs, people just suspect slightly and sometimes make comments. I sorry that you were miss treated like this like you said something like this hurts the whole group. Sending you positive thoughts energy, so mote it be
I am retired and I have made sure my friends and family have no idea that I practice the LHP! If they were to find out, they would disown me! People fear what they don't know! Im looking for some like minded people!
Telling this person that LHP is founded in deception shows that you are a problem. Keep you mouth sealed and go back to Jesus and the church. Maybe if you opened your mind you wouldn't be so ignorant of Los LHP practice. L is opening their heart here and you drag L down. This is why there are people still in the Broom Closet!
I am from Japan but am now a citizen of USA, I was brought up in Shinto which I still practice and live by and I did accept Wicca a bit over three years ago. I keep my beliefs to myself at work as I am a teacher at an elementary school. When I'm asked what my beliefs are I just say I pray to a greater power than myself or just say God when I'm dealing with radical Christians, I just nod my head when they ask me I have found Jesus. This is unfair but I don't want to loose my job and be black listed from teaching in schools. I love this country so much and I just can't stand how people can act so intoleranant and even fascist. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Some people can be so blind as the ones who you speak of. So many viewers love your channel. I know we would all be upset if it stopped. You are awesome!!!
Yes, very recently. Not on the extent of your situation but by a coworker in person and on Facebook. I had posted a picture on Instagram and Facebook of a shirt my daughter requested me to paint for her. It was a black t-shirt I painted a flaming pentical on. My coworker saw the post on her Facebook page and was offended kicked off her friends list and blocked me. Then confronted me on the job telling me it offended her and she was a Christian. I said it was a piece of artwork my daughter asked me for. She went on to say that it was the sign of Satan and she didn't appreciate it smacking her in the face when she went on line to check her Facebook feed.
The community that I live in, one of my neighbors, accused me of doing something that made her fall and her friends leave the community, which she accused me of having the power to make her friends leave. She said that I also killed her husband so that we could move into the apartment.
Hey sister read your comment no worries Goddess and God will bring justice on these individuals for their sick soulless false accusations. Just remember forgive in your heart and go forward with Goddess & God there are blessings ahead for you. Blessed be
hey friend, I am wondering if you go through that like I did. I also have dealt with this with social services who took my little witchling who is now 13 however my witchling has autism and I need help to figure out how to deal with this issue. The social worker is a Abrahamic worshipper and I get told that I am not going to be getting my little witchling back.
Hey karen Goddess and God loves you so much and your daughter. First of all Goddess & God gives us the freedom to worship them how ever we please. Hence many paths of salvation. Secondly, its completely wrong and against Christ that these so called christians are doing. We pagans call Jesus, Cernnunos and i know these people are up crap creek with Jesus cause He hates and despises Evil done in his name like that. You can take them straight to Genesis the story of Joseph. Joseph was taught tarot reading by jacob, joseph became a sorcere and his wife was an African sorceress. Asenath is Her name and her Dad was sorcerer of On Egypt. So if witchcraft is evil like these idiots say then how do they get around this fact? Also Cabalah means mystical or Magickal power ( Miraculous). Binah Aima Ama triple ALL MOTHER OF THE OMNIVERSE AND JEHOVAH CHOKMAH ABA IS TRIPLE FATHER. but have been sending the prayers and incants up to Heaven for you. By Goddess and God Danu and Donn they will get your daughter back.
Hey sister hope your daughter is back safe in your arms. Been praying still. Also still trying to figure out about youtube replys. Sometimes they come in my emails and when i reply it says invalid address. So i have relpying in the comments section here. Blessed be, and you and little one are in the arms of the Supreme Mother & Father almighty.
I am a witch but not wiccan. You have a lot on your side with wicca being a recognized religion with our government and within there the military where there was actually a training on this to enlighten them.
Thank you for this video. You explain this so well and show no ill will to those that did this. It's inspiring. I also have lost jobs for not being Christian. It seems to be on the rise and there are no news articles on it, but there are on people losing jobs for not being the right political party on both sides, because it's not protected. I am looking for my path, I'm kind of New Age with Pagan leanings as I find it beautiful. I didn't talk about it at work except to one person who brought it up because she was interested in it on one job. On the others, they just asked outright if I was a Christian and when they found out I wasn't, they sabotaged my work for several months and then let me go. They didn't care what I was, just what I wasn't, a christian. So sorry it happened to you.
Karen this micah you sent me an email asking how to get your daughter back from these fake christians that are trying to take her away. Im still trying to figure out technology 😂😂😂haha. But tried emailing you, everytime i trued to send it, it would say error and reject the send. So i answered you in the comment section under Mannons religious persecution episode. Please please read it. And i did a special prayer to Goddess and God Almighty for you to get her back. Blessings and love my sister.
Unfortunately, I too have & still do experience Religious discrimination, even within my own family. After all this time, you'd think Witches wouldn't have to look over their shoulders anymore. 😔
I wonder if they did this to an Islamic how fast this would be on the news and how fast the ACLU would be up their in business about the discrimination.
While my area is getting better at acceptance, this is still an issue with a lot of backwards thinking people. At work I’m technically still in the broom closet, I wouldn’t be surprised if I ran into this problem at work at some point
I find it rather disturbing that in a country where we have freedom of religion a company fired you while employing a stalker, potentially suffering from mental illness.
As I wrote in the chat, this is plain shit! To lose your job because of what you believe in...I simply have no comment. It's sad, it's 2024, and the world is sinking into dark times like colonialism, when the greatest hysteria about the "unknown" reigned. Mannun, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and supporting your decisions. We are spiritually and energetically strong enough to resist. I'm sending you positive energy and I wish you all the best from S-LOVE-nia. ❤Thank you for an interesting video in which you nicely highlighted a problem - a problem that can affect anyone - especially in the US. BB!😊🤟✨&💪
I have been praying and meditating and doing rituals to will my goddess hecate to gain control over the world in the name of Jesus and God and give the witches a chance to rule and show everyone love, I need others to aid me in this divination please brothers and sisters
HI mannun..change is a foot ..hope you find something ..work wise and that you and pink will be a successful team in helping to heal other's .thank you for taking time out to do the videos ..bb
I did... I start work tomorrow morning at 9am. Best part is it is with an very good friend who I worked for back in Florida, and it's work from Home. Purchasing Manager for a Controls company!!
I just joined ur patreon for financial support. I hope ur able to find the job best for you where you’ll flourish and prosper. Best wishes to you & family in this times. Blessed Be friend🌸
I'm sorry you had to experience these kinds of discrimination. You should hear all the Catholics are not real Christians jokes. Prayers for a good job for you.🙏❤
I devoted my life to this great nation as a Naval Officer. This troubles me with this crap still going on. See if you can have a lawsuit. Someone (your ex employer) needs to answer for this. Seriously, contact an attorney. Also contact your local politician as well as the Governor. Fight back, this has affected your life and financial situation.
I am sorry to hear that you and your family are going through this ordeal. It must be a very difficult time. I don’t hide myself but I also don’t put myself out there. I feel keeping a low key is better and more personal. I hope you get fixed up with employment. Maybe it’s a good time to become self employed. Specialise in something where there is always a demand for. A contractor of some sort. Blessings …
Talk to wage and hour division. I'd also see a lawyer. I am in San Antonio, TX. Bigger mistake than getting married was. I'm in a trailer park (beats your car). It took a year for the park manager to realize there was no way I was going to be Christian again. When then found out I was Pagan, the hassles started. My grass was too tall. These concrete cylinders, which had been there long before I bought the trailer, now needed to be removed. All kinds of stuff. One month tall grass, had to wait for my paycheck. Just a few days. She came knocking every day. Third day, I ripped her a new one, then called the owner and threatened a religious harassment complaint. More where that came from, but you get the point. Talk to a lawyer. Hope you kept copies of your performance reviews.
Unfortuanately that goes on here in the UK too. Thankfully it wasn't me who experienced it, but it was one of the students who was suppose to stay on at the company I used to work for, which was a a private nursery (which you guys in America call a daycare). I wasn't present when this particular incident took place as it was one of the days I didn't work, and I barely saw this student. Wish I was able to get a hold of her I wasn't aware she was also a practitioner, nor was she aware I was either, just like everyone else at this company. Most these people knew about me was that I liked herbal medicine and crystals. Many of my co-workers were Christian based. This incident unfolded from racist remarks between one of my previous co-workers and a random person on the street - Both were black, my co-worker was jamaican and the other person was from one of the African countries. From my knowlrdge from what other co-workers told me, my jamaican co-worker came back from her lunchbreak, making a remark about the random person she bumped to in the street, telling people "you got to be careful of those Africans as they do black magic." the student then made a comment saying she was a white witch. Behind her back, my co-workers then started knattering amongst themselves, "saying they didnt want their children in the same classroom as the student. When I came in the following day, they told me of this as well as telling the company's director who then said she didn't want any witches in her company. My co-workers asked me to explain the difference between black and white magic as they know I have an "awareness" and "understanding" of it. No I didn't tell them I practiced as I didn't want the troube. A couple of months later when the student was due to finish her course and stay on to join the team as an offical team member, she didn't come back. I wish I could have grabbed a chat with her before she went.
As a project manager, your skills should be easily transferable to other manufacturing/construction sectors. Have you given any thought to companies in the solar energy sector? Just a thought. Bright blessings to you and Pink.
I live. In Southeast Georgia near Savannah. My experiences have not been so extreme, but I have lost "friends" over my beliefs. I have noticed that the north is so much less accepting. I don't broadcast my beliefs, but in my 30ish years as a Pagan I have learned ppl are uneducated and very judgmental on what they know little on. Sorry about your job and the asshole stalker ❤
I’m sorry this happened, but soon after I got my job I got a triple moon tattoo on my wrist which led to me being let go as well. I worked with Christian baby boomers and they saw me as an evil person 😢
Phyllis Curott is a Wiccan High Priestess and lawyer advocating for Pagan civil rights. Check ✔️ out her autobiography " Book of Shadows". It's a MUST read!
It seems to me that religious discrimination has its origins in a completely different phenomenon. It's about getting some competition out of the way. In ancient times, religious discrimination was practically non-existent, and today it applies only to a handful, although the most numerous, beliefs that have their origins in the same place. In my opinion, it was deliberately designed because the impression of divine assistance appears only in a sufficiently large group of mutual support, which also applies to looting and the distribution of goods among its members. There can be no better independent or self-aware alternative for its members. Even if members of such a group reject the way this mechanism works as shameful, it does not mean that it does not function properly. Bringing satisfaction from the positive conclusion of matters. Ignorance is merely an attempt to balance this equation without the proper solution. Preventing the madness that comes with allowing yourself to think of being pure evil. Or, to be more precise, repression and projection.😂 Good job and very interesting material 👍
I am disgusted to hear that you lost your job over ignorance. I hope the universe finds you a better place of employment. One that you could flourish and support your family. I wish you well and may peace and love always surround you and pink. Love you both. Stay strong.
You guys are fantastic I am so happy for both of you. The universe takes care of their own. Within the Mexican community the type of spell work you briefly described is well received for generations we have been going to curanderos or shawmen not sure of the spelling Alexa was no help. Any hoo if you do spell work for people you guys will be fabulous. Please let me know if you open an online class I would very much be interested in learning how to work with a deity or How to build up my confidence in my own work you guys wonderful together of the world separate you please love each other and stay strong.
Very sad mate,sorry to hear your a victim of needless persicution people and employers should do there homework before pointing there flaming touch .hope it turns out ok in your new ventures. Blessings.
"Workings and Whatnot" -- Dude, if that's not a good business name, I don't know what is! LOL (Seriously, as tempting as it is, I absolutely swear I will *not* use it myself if I ever set up a witchy business.) I hope you're able to get some relief in the job/income arena ASAP, the fact that you're so experienced and flexible should stand you in good stead. Unfortunately there's no good fix for the aberrant/malfunctioning attitudes & thoughts you spoke about, aside from just "keeping on keeping on" and trying to maintain self-protection while hoping that, bit by bit, 13th century attitudes will advance (or perhaps be dragged kicking & screaming) into the current century. I'm not officially pagan, but was born into & at least partly still identify with one of the generally less-loved Abrahamic religions... and have awakened to rabidly nasty grafitti in front of the house, or when living overseas had to be a lot more worried about admitting my birth religion than I was of admitting I was American. (Side note: If I was in your shoes, the company that pushed you out would've been talking to my lawyer within 24 hours -- wouldn't even have to include religion/spirituality, just the whole lack of proper recording, reporting, warning, etc. that are required by law.)
Blessed Be to all this beautiful Community. May the God and the Goddess protect our path with Love and Light, always.!!
May the God and Goddess bless you all.
Blessed be!

Why not write novel inspired by your experiences in the craft it would probably sell like a wildfire
Fantastic idea. I would buy it.

For some reason, You tube is showing all Christian religious ads during this video.
Figures
Not for me, I had two ads both ASPCA.

I didn't talk about it at work except to one person who brought it up because she was interested in it on one job. On the others, they just asked outright if I was a Christian and when they found out I wasn't, they sabotaged my work for several months and then let me go. They didn't care what I was, just what I wasn't, a christian. So sorry it happened to you.
Karen this micah you sent me an email asking how to get your daughter back from these fake christians that are trying to take her away. Im still trying to figure out technology 😂😂😂haha. But tried emailing you, everytime i trued to send it, it would say error and reject the send. So i answered you in the comment section under Mannons religious persecution episode. Please please read it. And i did a special prayer to Goddess and God Almighty for you to get her back. Blessings and love my sister.
I'm not Karen. The email came to me too but when I replied to let you know, it came back undeliverable. I hope she gets your message.
I'm sharing your video with all of my Witchy friends! Thank you for all of the great referrals to the various organizations! Blessed Be! 😊💖🌞
Unfortunately, I too have & still do experience Religious discrimination, even within my own family. After all this time, you'd think Witches wouldn't have to look over their shoulders anymore. 😔
I wonder if they did this to an Islamic how fast this would be on the news and how fast the ACLU would be up their in business about the discrimination.
While my area is getting better at acceptance, this is still an issue with a lot of backwards thinking people. At work I’m technically still in the broom closet, I wouldn’t be surprised if I ran into this problem at work at some point
Well said, thank you so much for all yr info, blessed be
I find it rather disturbing that in a country where we have freedom of religion a company fired you while employing a stalker, potentially suffering from mental illness.
Nothing new about it. I was ostracized for being Lutheran in a Catholic neighborhood growing up. Nothing new.
Wow... unbelievable. Thank you for sharing
As I wrote in the chat, this is plain shit! To lose your job because of what you believe in...I simply have no comment. It's sad, it's 2024, and the world is sinking into dark times like colonialism, when the greatest hysteria about the "unknown" reigned. Mannun, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you and supporting your decisions. We are spiritually and energetically strong enough to resist. I'm sending you positive energy and I wish you all the best from S-LOVE-nia. ❤Thank you for an interesting video in which you nicely highlighted a problem - a problem that can affect anyone - especially in the US. BB!😊🤟✨&💪
I have been praying and meditating and doing rituals to will my goddess hecate to gain control over the world in the name of Jesus and God and give the witches a chance to rule and show everyone love, I need others to aid me in this divination please brothers and sisters
HI mannun..change is a foot ..hope you find something ..work wise and that you and pink will be a successful team in helping to heal other's .thank you for taking time out to do the videos ..bb
I did... I start work tomorrow morning at 9am. Best part is it is with an very good friend who I worked for back in Florida, and it's work from Home. Purchasing Manager for a Controls company!!
I just joined ur patreon for financial support. I hope ur able to find the job best for you where you’ll flourish and prosper. Best wishes to you & family in this times. Blessed Be friend🌸
Thank you very much. I found a job since then, back in the saddle and the grind hehe.
I'm sorry you had to experience these kinds of discrimination. You should hear all the Catholics are not real Christians jokes. Prayers for a good job for you.🙏❤
I devoted my life to this great nation as a Naval Officer. This troubles me with this crap still going on. See if you can have a lawsuit. Someone (your ex employer) needs to answer for this. Seriously, contact an attorney. Also contact your local politician as well as the Governor. Fight back, this has affected your life and financial situation.
Done
I am sorry to hear that you and your family are going through this ordeal. It must be a very difficult time. I don’t hide myself but I also don’t put myself out there. I feel keeping a low key is better and more personal. I hope you get fixed up with employment. Maybe it’s a good time to become self employed. Specialise in something where there is always a demand for. A contractor of some sort. Blessings …
Talk to wage and hour division. I'd also see a lawyer. I am in San Antonio, TX. Bigger mistake than getting married was. I'm in a trailer park (beats your car). It took a year for the park manager to realize there was no way I was going to be Christian again. When then found out I was Pagan, the hassles started. My grass was too tall. These concrete cylinders, which had been there long before I bought the trailer, now needed to be removed. All kinds of stuff. One month tall grass, had to wait for my paycheck. Just a few days. She came knocking every day. Third day, I ripped her a new one, then called the owner and threatened a religious harassment complaint. More where that came from, but you get the point. Talk to a lawyer. Hope you kept copies of your performance reviews.
Unfortuanately that goes on here in the UK too. Thankfully it wasn't me who experienced it, but it was one of the students who was suppose to stay on at the company I used to work for, which was a a private nursery (which you guys in America call a daycare). I wasn't present when this particular incident took place as it was one of the days I didn't work, and I barely saw this student. Wish I was able to get a hold of her I wasn't aware she was also a practitioner, nor was she aware I was either, just like everyone else at this company. Most these people knew about me was that I liked herbal medicine and crystals. Many of my co-workers were Christian based.
This incident unfolded from racist remarks between one of my previous co-workers and a random person on the street - Both were black, my co-worker was jamaican and the other person was from one of the African countries. From my knowlrdge from what other co-workers told me, my jamaican co-worker came back from her lunchbreak, making a remark about the random person she bumped to in the street, telling people "you got to be careful of those Africans as they do black magic." the student then made a comment saying she was a white witch. Behind her back, my co-workers then started knattering amongst themselves, "saying they didnt want their children in the same classroom as the student. When I came in the following day, they told me of this as well as telling the company's director who then said she didn't want any witches in her company. My co-workers asked me to explain the difference between black and white magic as they know I have an "awareness" and "understanding" of it. No I didn't tell them I practiced as I didn't want the troube. A couple of months later when the student was due to finish her course and stay on to join the team as an offical team member, she didn't come back. I wish I could have grabbed a chat with her before she went.
Other religions stand up.against this
Forming coalitions, why cant the pagans?
As a project manager, your skills should be easily transferable to other manufacturing/construction sectors. Have you given any thought to companies in the solar energy sector? Just a thought. Bright blessings to you and Pink.
I actually did apply at a Solar Energy company up here. They wanted someone who had direct experience with solar energy.

I live. In Southeast Georgia near Savannah. My experiences have not been so extreme, but I have lost "friends" over my beliefs. I have noticed that the north is so much less accepting. I don't broadcast my beliefs, but in my 30ish years as a Pagan I have learned ppl are uneducated and very judgmental on what they know little on. Sorry about your job and the asshole stalker ❤
I’m sorry this happened, but soon after I got my job I got a triple moon tattoo on my wrist which led to me being let go as well. I worked with Christian baby boomers and they saw me as an evil person 😢
I shared your video. As important message.
Don't tell people anything they don't need to know. Look at the chaos between people that support Palestinians or Jews. Tell them nothing.
Phyllis Curott is a Wiccan High Priestess and lawyer advocating for Pagan civil rights. Check ✔️ out her autobiography " Book of Shadows". It's a MUST read!
It seems to me that religious discrimination has its origins in a completely different phenomenon. It's about getting some competition out of the way. In ancient times, religious discrimination was practically non-existent, and today it applies only to a handful, although the most numerous, beliefs that have their origins in the same place. In my opinion, it was deliberately designed because the impression of divine assistance appears only in a sufficiently large group of mutual support, which also applies to looting and the distribution of goods among its members. There can be no better independent or self-aware alternative for its members. Even if members of such a group reject the way this mechanism works as shameful, it does not mean that it does not function properly. Bringing satisfaction from the positive conclusion of matters. Ignorance is merely an attempt to balance this equation without the proper solution. Preventing the madness that comes with allowing yourself to think of being pure evil. Or, to be more precise, repression and projection.😂 Good job and very interesting material 👍
I am disgusted to hear that you lost your job over ignorance. I hope the universe finds you a better place of employment. One that you could flourish and support your family. I wish you well and may peace and love always surround you and pink. Love you both. Stay strong.
Already happened. I got a much better job now
You guys are fantastic I am so happy for both of you. The universe takes care of their own. Within the Mexican community the type of spell work you briefly described is well received for generations we have been going to curanderos or shawmen not sure of the spelling Alexa was no help. Any hoo if you do spell work for people you guys will be fabulous. Please let me know if you open an online class I would very much be interested in learning how to work with a deity or How to build up my confidence in my own work you guys wonderful together of the world separate you please love each other and stay strong.
I feel for you, it's so wrong and hateful. But they worship the Demiurge, just following his example.
May you find employment comprised with higher quality relations; acceptance; and respect in contrast to your former job....
Very sad mate,sorry to hear your a victim of needless persicution people and employers should do there homework before pointing there flaming touch .hope it turns out ok in your new ventures. Blessings.
"Workings and Whatnot" -- Dude, if that's not a good business name, I don't know what is! LOL (Seriously, as tempting as it is, I absolutely swear I will *not* use it myself if I ever set up a witchy business.) I hope you're able to get some relief in the job/income arena ASAP, the fact that you're so experienced and flexible should stand you in good stead. Unfortunately there's no good fix for the aberrant/malfunctioning attitudes & thoughts you spoke about, aside from just "keeping on keeping on" and trying to maintain self-protection while hoping that, bit by bit, 13th century attitudes will advance (or perhaps be dragged kicking & screaming) into the current century. I'm not officially pagan, but was born into & at least partly still identify with one of the generally less-loved Abrahamic religions... and have awakened to rabidly nasty grafitti in front of the house, or when living overseas had to be a lot more worried about admitting my birth religion than I was of admitting I was American. (Side note: If I was in your shoes, the company that pushed you out would've been talking to my lawyer within 24 hours -- wouldn't even have to include religion/spirituality, just the whole lack of proper recording, reporting, warning, etc. that are required by law.)
Workings N' Whatnots!!
Move back to south Florida!!
Why would anyone want to move back to that hateful state run by a monster.
