Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.

Pretty sure witchcraft was pretty much just women brewing beer, which was a thing mainly women did back in the day: https://www.ancient-origins.net/history-ancient-traditions/bubbling-brews-broomsticks-021539

They happened to wear pointy witch-like hats and employ children to do some of the labor too.

Some children did inevitably fell into cauldrons... purely by the virtue of being inebriated by the fumes of course. And you wouldn't waste a cauldron of perfectly fine beer, even if the taste is a bit porky. Well I guess that's why Guinness tastes like bacon.
