Etsy knows their power.

Etsy witches doing what others are afraid to do.

i’m neither on etsy nor do i take money for black magicks. nor do i think any of my “magicks” have any effect beyond being placebos for my own mental health (they make fun little rituals tho) but damn its fun to cast a hex on someone sometimes.



Does lend credence to the idea that it should be banned though.

If it works, then it’s assault, murder, or conspiracy to commit assault/murder. If it doesn’t work then it’s fraud.

It’s moral and just to murder Nazis.

Perhaps, but I was talking in a more general sense, I assume most of the “targets” of these “services” were not Nazis. Also the law usually has little to do with morality and justice.

(It also raises the question, is it moral to sell fake nazi murders?)





Well I guess they have to go back to putting ads in the back of almanacs.

17th century problems in 2026.

I feel like chose the wrong career



Dammit! Now where do i sell those love spells and curse potions?!

Seems to be a pretty big seller base on Facebook!



Omg where should I go now to curse a public figure?

Support your local businesses!




The general public must have become too aware for Etsy to ignore them (and collect their fees) anymore.

I didn’t really know they existed on etsy before the last year or so. There were a few big incidents, weren’t there? Big names getting cursed, or something.

On Ebay I think people get away with the scam by also mailing a candle or something.

That and they brought the Mariners to the world series

People talked about that a lot, didn’t they? I bet the Mariners are why I know Etsy witches exist.




Why can’t the witches cast a dispel to undo the new rule?! Are they stupid?



Man, let people charge for their make-believe stuff regardless of religion.


They were too successful I guess. Had to shut them down


Now if only Youtube would ban obvious scam products from being advertised….



I feel like a real witch would have a spell to solve this.

Yes but why waste it on the Etsy board room?

Eye of Newt ain’t cheap in this economy.
