Witchcraft and other pagan religious practices increased in the U.S. over the past few decades, with millennials turning to astrology and tarot cards as they turn away from Christianity and other traditionally dominant Abrahamic religions.
The number of witches and Americans practicing Wicca religious rituals increased dramatically since the 1990s, with several recent studies indicating there may be at least 1.5 million witches across the country. A Trinity College study conducted in 1990 estimated only about 8,000 Wiccans in the U.S., but the increase has been led by a rejection of mainstream Christianity among young Americans as well as a rise in occultism.
With 1.5 million potential practicing witches across the U.S., witchcraft has more followers than the 1.4 million mainline members of the Presbyterian church.
Data collected by the Pew Research Center and Trinity College in Connecticut show witchcraft and pre-Christian traditions have been revitalized by young adults, Quartz noted. Millennials are seeking more freedom in their spirituality and interest in astrology and tarot card readings have spiked in recent years.
Millennials, celebrities, and even critics of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh have embraced the "witch aesthetic" over more repressive Christian beliefs, Quartz reported.

a shift from wanting guidance to wanting power

So many millennial are idiots. It follows the same pattern in history. A generation works like dogs through wars and hardship. They were moral with entire neighborhoods going to church. High schools use to have rifle clubs and students bought their guns to school. No one ever thought of settling a dispute by shooting another.
The country then achieves prosperity and a easier life. Then their children completely fuck it up living the easy life. The hippies of the 60's are the children of the greatest generation. It was the beginning of the transition. The US is the only country with poor fat people. Right now life is easy. Guys survive living in their mom's basement with part time or crappy jobs. They are happy and content. It flourishes liberalism. They believe they are owed. They vote with the main consideration, what will the government give me for this vote. They look to candidates that promise them stuff like health care, tuition loan forgiveness, guaranteed jobs, social programs and all the rest. Obama then legitimized radical liberals.
The rise of witch craft is a result of a liberal life.

I just left Seattle because of this high incidence of complete idiocy. These people are completely indoctrinated and it’s sad because they actually feel as if they are being different somehow

OLDTIMER, Pretty damn intelligent discourse up above!
I think that I agree with ya entirely.
But other GetBiggers would have to be 50+ to completely understand.
We have lived and continue to live through some very interesting times and I find it difficult to believe that anything "new" will come on the scene such as has occured in the past 50 years.
We now have everything we ever needed plus a lot of stuff we don't, except the brains to exist with it all.
-
I hope that certain mechanisms will enable the kids to understand the value of work, family, your word, morals etc.
Don't know if this will happen though. We might all end up in a fucking swamp since we're getting older and the support for the elderly will wither. We'll might have to rely on ourselves in our 70's and post.

I hate to admit it but this is true. People with completely different values and world views cannot sustain a cohesive nation.
Many Americans hate this nation and everything it stands for. They are leeches. They takes sides with our enemies and demand to have their own constitutional rights taken away.
Most of us have known they were satanists for a long time. It's only now that they are emboldened enough to freely admit it.

Christianity is based on paganism and witchcraft.

Much ado about nothing, as usual. SF1900 is spoofing you and you fell for it. Next up, there will be suggestions that we burn those evil witches and warlocks at the stake, even when they are children. Oldtimer has it right, it's a cycle....a cycle of fear, boredom,power and the quest for something new, when you don't accept the same old shit that's been spread around for thousands of years. Hinduism may be the oldest religion in existence. No religious belief has been completely successful...we haven't yet found have nirvana.

Wonder if any of these witches will summon bodybuilding souls from the 1930s to the early 2000s.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Nasser and Matarazzo compete again.

I bet you all these people would accept a Christmas gift, especially if it something that they wanted.
Like ingredients for a love potion, or a new iPhone.

Great job making yourself look like an idiot.
Most Christmas traditions have pagan roots.
You think having a tree inside your house has anything to do with Jesus?

Yes, I was. Read what I wrote. We all are aware of Christmas’ pagan roots. Yet, people will accept gifts that they want. Like Jehova’s Witnesses tend not to celebrate birthdays, but they sure will accept a birthday present. The ingredients to a love potion was in regards to the Wiccan—-you know, eye of newt, a lock of your muse’s hair, etc. the iPhone, well, what self respecting millennial and practicer of the Wiccan arts would turn down an iPhone?
And yes, having a tree in my house has a lot to do with Jesus. I feel closer to God with a big spruce tree in my living room. The smell of the outdoors, the squirrel’s nest, all of these things make my sap runneth over for the love of Jesus.

True, but TODAY Christmas is a "Christian" holiday celebrated by Christians because of Jesus Christ. It's a "Christian" holiday not celebrated by Jews, Muslims, agnostics, atheists, fooking witches, etc., and even protested by some of them.

The Bible doesn't say anything about making up holidays. There are HOLY DAYS and Christians follow none of them. Christmas is still pagan as are all the holidays. Theyre idol worship in some cases and pagan in others. It is not of God but of the devil. Christians have no moral high ground to stand on because they don't follow the bible they pick and chose from.

The Bible doesn't say anything about posting on Getbig.com either. Idol worship in "some cases" and pagan in others? Maybe. However, I seriously doubt taking a season out of the year to remember and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, spend more time with family, give more gifts to loved ones, give more gifts to the poor, etc., in the name of Jesus Christ is considered idol worship or pagan.

Proof that Jesus celebrated Xmas...and got presents...

Yet they all celebrate Black Friday, Lexus December To Remember, Christmas/Holiday/Year End Specials...
And then months later, cry and whine, “because we are a materialistic society” (No, it’s because they didn’t get what they wanted).

By "they", I take it you mean the Jews, Muslims, agnostics, atheists, fooking witches, etc., that protest Christmas.

Some atheists love that Christmas bonus from their employer, and they love that paid vacation day called Christmas Holiday.

Nirvana died in '94
-Never really into grunge music even though it was know as Seattle sound and was also popular in Portland. Wonder if Kurt Cobain found nirvana after he offed himself? Some folks, like Tom Grant, a private investigator, suggest he was murdered.
Kurt's widow....just a little weird.

Do you think they would reappear looking as they did in peak condition or way, way "off season"?

Historically do you know who protested the most against celebrating Christmas? Other Christians!

Christians should stop wasting their time with atheist science and modern medicine and stick to praying when they need healing.

You people honor him with your mouths but don't follow his word. These are vain holidays. You say he is your God but refuse to listen to him.
Most Christian's areally lost sheep that need to read their bibles. They'll find out their pastors have been lying....

But the baby boomer generation never had that much hardships or fight in a big war? Maybe you’re just jealous of the youth of today which I think it is with you. You had your day. Deal with it.
