Twenty years ago, one of the greatest sci-fi TV series of all time premiered. Happy 20th to my beloved Battlestar Galactica. #BSG
I get to see Korn tonight! So in honor of that
Witches cast spells, not to do evil, but to promote changes of consciousness. Witches cast spells as acts of redefinition. To respell the world means to redefine the root of our being. It means to redefine us and therefore change us by returning us to our original consciousness of magical-evolutionary processes...

@thewebrecluse I never said these folks were not dangerous. I just don't think it's _illness_. I think they are bad people who want to harm others and don't care about consequences.
I think calling it "mental illness" downplays that some people _choose_ to harm others and behave badly. They're not sick, this is just how they use their free will: To be shitty.
When we pretend evil is "mental illness" it also reinforces biases against people with legit illness that are not dangerous.
Like me.
