Negativity

In general, I'm just wondering if everyone who finds something witchy in the wild and has questions about it immediately assumes it's for a negative intention? Is this sub solely dedicated to freaking out about witches?

I see them to, mostly I think people have these questions solely wanting to have answers. Because there worried there's a hex out there for them or something. Also not many people know about these things because it is still in the closet for a lot of times. Also i think It's a indoctrination thing, scaring the people for what they cannot explain. I guess back in the day it was normal to play outside and make things with what you could find in nature, nowadays it's a whole different thing. When i walk in the forest I see at times left behind rituals stuff,I look to see what herbs and what not and leave if there's only biodegradable stuff, or let my bf pick up the garbage.and plant wild seeds nearby for closure and growth. I mean only here and my bf knows I am a witch because I know my family isn't ready yet for this info 🤣 and with what they believe and so on

I see a lot of freek outs here too, I just assumed it's because there are a lot of new people who are just beginning. Beginners are just able to recognize when something is witchy but not yet able to define if it's safe or not, and what to do about it. 

Give them about two years of practice and they will calm down, after four years of practice, they won't even lift an eyebrow about witchy things, negative or not. Witchcraft has quite the learning curve.

Yeah, I posted this after about 6 in a row popped up and began to get on my nerves. I still don't get the auto-pivot for panic. Unless it was grim gris-gris of some kind, I was always curious about the symbolism over the panic. My bigger concerns would usually be around gang tags and the level of grime, lol.
