Wasn't Apollo kind of a huge asshole in Greek myth? There is one story of him flaying and disemboweling a satyr alive after said satyr lost to him in a music contest.

[@crackheadadventures]

@@doktorhabilitowanystanczyk Mythic literalism ain't really viable. In antiquity the poems were critiziced for portraying the gods in such a violent way, additionally most Hellenists (myself included) don't see the myths as literal because a) no real evidence that they all happened in, again, a literal sense and b) in personal experiences don't really match the personality or treatment of the god in question. More, that the myths are a way for us to understand the gods in an abstract way, ie Apollo is associated with the sun, Ares with the protection of women.

Hi, I started my witchy journey again in 2020, I do remember this going on and thought it was hilarious. As a bit of a seasoned witch, I don't think this is necessarily possible to hex the moon no matter how long anyone has been practicing. In my opinion it's just a bunch of "children" I emphasize children as immature people, trying to seem cool. I believe in deities and fae. I agree, the inexperienced witches were hex happy. If anything, the hex will bounce off the moon and go to them. Anyways, thank you for this video, I love your channel and your channel is very informative.

I could only think "Yep, this is par for the course at the moment, but one, why would anyone go after one of the things that a fair number of us revere (not that it'd do anything except piss something off), and two, who gave whom the bright idea to fuck around with the beings who basically wrote the playbook of 'Fuck Around and Find Out'?"

What's wild is that this isn't even the cringiest or most wild thing that circulated witchtok.

Oh, man, and the kiddies claiming to be marrying their deities... and then getting mad at other people making the same claim, because ancient pantheons are famously so strictly monogamous...

I always struggled with being bothered by the whole "can someone give me a ___ spell? I'm just a baby witch and don't know what to do.." I would always offer advice on where they could begin their research, and then encourage them that they are not a baby which. They are simply inexperienced, and there's only one way to move beyond that.

[@MickieMuellerStudio]

Thanks for sharing this story. I remember hearing about it but I wasn’t on TikTok at the time only because I felt too overwhelmed to add another social media platform. Frankly, now I’m on TikTok (and witchtok) late..in true ADHD witch style, LOL I do think I would have migrated over there much sooner but this story coming out in 2020 was part of why I didn’t, what a shame. As a witch who came up in the late 90’s-early aughts, I had no involvement with discussions anywhere about this but thought to myself that anyone uninformed enough to decide to curse the moon couldn’t pull it off anyway. I was less worried about the moon (and the many deities associated with Her) and more concerned about the witchcraft community. Looking back after hearing your retelling of this story, I thank you wholeheartedly for your honesty and candor! You’ve shed a lot of light on this and a perspective that many of us would’ve missed. It does make me wonder if the whole thing was planted inside the communities on witchtok and Reddit in order to keep people out of these spaces and harm the community by depriving it of many voices who might offer even more guidance, experience, and balance. I think many witches who could’ve been helping raise up people like you and others who wanted to help and educate were put off by the whole thing. So actually, shame on those of us who didn’t come to the aid of you and the rest of the witches on TikTok who had to try to manage a media 💩show.

There was such an explosion of misinformation at that time broadly. I kinda wonder what was going on astrologically then 🤔 that would be interesting to look at.

[@carolallison9685]

No matter what you said, or how bad it turned out, remember, it will never be as bad as silver ravenwolf telling teenage girls she astral projected and had a conversation with cleopatra bad. Also wanted to add that Apollo is not the god of the sun, and Artemis is not the goddess of the moon. Those would be the Titans Helios and Luna. So i don't what mythology everyone else has been smoking, but it's not the same one the greeks were.

[@ChaoticWitchAunt]

Good point! Thanks for adding on - I will say I did kind of mean in the context of how people were talking about things. I tend to think of them more as solar/lunar energies or gods "of" rather than the Sun/Moon itself! But I appreciate this comment & the clarification. Also 100% depends on the belief set/pantheon.

[@trailofatrilliontears1045]

This is why i don't like mixing witchcraft with social media. Too many uninitiated ppl messing around with things they can't even grasp. Not to mention ppl using magic against others for making comments we don't like.

Seems about as effective as getting in the shower and trying to kick the shower waters ass

[@ChaoticWitchAunt]

This is my favorite comparison.

[@LydiosVidias]

I remember hearing about someone trying to hex the moon and planning on hexing the fae next and thinking to myself "welp, that's stupid. If something happens either way, I'll hear about it." And then crickets. Good to know I didn't actually miss anything.

[@caffeinatedbroccoli]

I'm so glad I lost interest in my practice for a span of 3 years while all that was going on. Feels good to know I'm not on the left hand path just because people made it look cool and edgy on tik tok

[@Willinillyt]

i opened up this video, looked at you for a solid 20 seconds, saw your veil and went "THATS HER I KNOW HER" 😭😭😭😭 i watched your tiktoks ALL the time oh my god... i was wondering where you'd gone!

[@kanjifaith6619]

Thank you for creating this video essay!

[@madison206]

i literally thought the entirety of the world was doomed bc the moon would fight back

[@tiggy114]

My ex husband is a psychopath, narcissist and chaos magician. I recognise these behaviours as exactly something he would do just to create anarchy and revel in it.

[@standingfox8528]

Tik-Toxic. Thank you for doing this to remind everyone what can happen when things run away.

[@reallymadnomad7330]

Never heard of this. I stay away from social media. Does this mean the movie "Moonfall" was NOT a documentary???

[@thatrandomheathen]

I actually started practicing witchcraft and converted to paganism because of your videos in 2020 and it is crazyyyy looking back how witchy social media has changed between now and then.

[@ChaoticWitchAunt]

Right!!! Glad my channel provided that space for you though ❤️

[@lochlanhanham8308]

My biggest question is why a witch would hex the moon in the first place. I was always under the impression that witches liked the moon (granted not a witch, nor in the community).

[@Marly_111]

We do. Some are crazy tho

[@Marly_111]

Also it's impossible to 'hex the moon'

[@ialdabeoth]

as someone who was a niche internet microinfluencer on witchtok during this period.. good god.. this wasn’t even the craziest thing to happen (re: the “witchtok” tag getting “hexed” and everyone freaking out, the she-who-must-not-be-named podcaster getting outed as a neonazi, the classic “bringing my demon to work” video, i could go on)

[@cianagriggs6678]

I was high key at the beach when this whole debacle was going on (it was a small beach and we took precautions against covid by masking, carrying sanitizer, social distancing, etc.) while my friend and I were there we noticed the waves were a lot rougher (as tides are tided to the moon if im remembering correctly don't quote me lol)

[@Chill-mm4pn]

The Moon: Witch please...🌒 lol

[@emiliotamez7556]

“…..And I was there” is so freaking hilarious because like yes……… you were on your phone…….

[@finch4309]

OMG I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS THE OTHER DAY i was looking at the moon and then i was just like “what the hell was their motivation… shes so beautiful why would you do that”

[@MaridithSmith]

It was the craziest thing I ever heard. It was so weird when Google notified me about it. I shrugged and chalked it up to 2020 being a dumpster fire

[@meriguild]

Heyyyyy off topic but I’m begging for a tutorial on how you’ve tied your veil here it’s so pretty 😭

[@StarAffectus]

Omg!! I completely forgot about this 😭😭😭😭 I'm so ready to watch this. Crazy stuff!!

[@Babycosmonaut]

"Suspend disbelief " I think it's the phrase you're looking for.

[@RavenNich]

this was so wild, i remember this so vividly
