Watch Out For Online Cults

A lot of talk about cults and manipulative people in the community is focused on an in-person level. Things that an in-person group will do, how their control extends into your offline life, but cult behaviors and mindsets can absolutely be used online and may not be as visible or as obvious. Here’s a small, incomplete checklist of things to watch out for, red flags and the like. (Note: I’m not talking about any specific group or individuals here. None of these on their own make a cult, but a lot of them together can potentially mark a toxic environment at least. This isn’t intended to be a diagnostic tool, just things to analyze and reflect on. Please always be safe and don’t let yourself stay in toxic environments whether they “count” as a cult or not.)  

The “leader” can do no wrong. They are not capable of truly making mistakes, or any misstep they do make is quickly explained away or defended by their followers. Any criticism is quickly punished, labeled as problematic, or otherwise shut down. Online, people will often sing the praises of or “lovebomb” the leader after these incidents.

It’s Us vs. Them. Anybody who criticizes the group is an enemy. Anybody who chooses not to be a member of the group must have something wrong with them. Critics/people on the outside just don’t “get it” like they do. The “outside” may be painted as threatening/the group as a safe haven, and opposing viewpoints should not be given any attention, even to consider them critically. You’re discouraged from joining other similar groups.

Using social justice lingo as a way to control people. Manipulators can speak the language too. They may bring up gaslighting, gatekeeping, policing, invalidation, and other things and accuse an individual or group in order to either guilt the person into acquiescing or vilify them to the other members. This is a really effective tactic for shutting someone down.

The leader is elevated or enlightened in some way. They claim to be a deity, or at least closer to the divine/enlightenment than you. They have a more effective/direct line of communication with spirits or entities.They have wisdom or knowledge you must stay with them to take part in. 

Dictating parts of your online life. Members must change their names, icons, speech/typing patterns, etc. to conform to the group. The rules for behavior in an online setting go beyond what is needed to maintain order. Members may be asked to do a lot to “prove” they deserve to be/stay in the group. 

You’re scared to leave. You can’t imagine your online life without this group. You feel like you need the community/resources it provides you. You’re worried members will turn against you if you leave. You’re worried that leaving or voicing concern about the group will have negative repercussions on other platforms. 

As an ADHD witch, I would really like to see more inclusive content in the witchcraft tag.

I genuinely can't read more than half of the stuff that pops up on my dash because it's a book with little to no breaks and absolutely no formatting.

I rarely see pictures with descriptions. And a lot of the spells/rituals/etc. I see are very much targeted towards able bodied neurotypical people.

Kind of tempted to start a submission-based disabled witch blog... 🤔

Not everyone on tinder is a dick apparently

budget witch tip: write someone’s name on a piece of toilet paper and then flush it to signify that you’re DONE WITH THEIR SHIT

I recommend as an addition to this wonderful spell, to charge an object (ring,earrings etc) with energy ,because you might get to the point of running low on energy . Try "borrowing" the energy from the trees and earth ,not people,as they can't usually consent giving energy.

Simple productivity spell

I do this every time I have work to do and it’s not a big deal. It’s basically for me to be able to do work uninterrupted by distractions.

You’ll need: - Two yellow candles. - Clove incense. - A marker. - A sigil of productivity of your choice. I used this one by sigilwitch. - Something to light the candles and incense obviously.

What to do: - First of all take a shower. It’s not a requirement but it works for me ‘cause when I’m sleepy I feel wide awake after a shower. Focus on the water washing away your negativity and stress. - Light both candles and the incense. - Write the sigil on you and charge it using your own energy: I put my hand over the sigil and visualize my energy flowing over it. When I feel it’s enough I state my intent “I charge this sigil with the intent of being productive and getting things done” as I glance at the candles.

Warning: this often makes me hyperproductive, I end up full of energy and do more stuff than I was meant to. Idk if this is a good thing for you but be warned.
