I have lost subscribers for even writing the word “satanism”. It wasn’t even a positive sentence. If they subscribed to my Substack, I am very up front about my witch status, and I am not upset they left.

All I was writing was that it was not my belief and it was based on Christianity. I also likened today’s satanic “church”, who do not hold a dogmatic view, to be very different and separate from the early Crowley days. Witches are not inherently satanic and it is wrong to assume such a thing.

Truth hurts, and opposing long held beliefs of ”evil” things will always be contentious.

Nobody can offend you unless you hand them that power.

When people complain about something being "offensive" what they mean is: "I demand you pander to my personal weirdness and mollify me."

Take a hard pass on that stuff. It's dishonest and manipulative.
