      That one’s okay because it taught me to respect people with unusual spiritual beliefs.

        Ironically I got the opposite, it makes sense in worlds where magic is actually real, not in our reality though.

          But Thorn isn’t actually a witch. She can’t do spells. She does the rituals for her own mental health, she doesn’t expect any magic to come out of them.

            … But then she does a real magic spell that, because of her magic beliefs and/or bloodline, stops the real supernatural monster. There was even a bit about how someone else doing the exact same mumbo jumbo didn’t work because “you’re not a wiccan”

              Didn’t she not know she was capable of that to begin with? Been years since I saw it.

                She didn’t know, but then the story happened and she learned that magic was real and she could do it because she was Wiccan and descended from a full blooded witch.

                  But she already did wiccan rituals without knowing magic is real, and she’s valid for that. I respect her even if magic isn’t real.
