Warlocks, Witches and Politics
Ever hear or get told this?
“A real warlock or witch can’t support MAGA or capitalism”?
I have, and far too many times to count in diverse ways. Factually that’s ideological gatekeeping dressed up as spiritual elitism—and it’s complete bullshit.
🔥 1. Witchcraft and Warlockery Are Sovereign Practices, Not Political Affiliations
Witchery and Warlockery are spiritual disciplines rooted in personal sovereignty, ancestral tradition, and metaphysical exploration. They are not political parties. They predate capitalism, socialism, communism, and every modern ideology. To claim that your spiritual legitimacy hinges on your economic or political stance is to misunderstand the entire foundation of magical practice.
🧠 2. Magical Identity Is Not Owned by the Left
The idea that only leftist, anti-capitalist, or anti-MAGA individuals can be “real” witches or warlocks is a modern myth pushed by people who confuse spiritual authenticity with ideological purity. Magic is not a progressive monopoly. It belongs to anyone who practices it with discipline, intention, and respect for its lineage.
🧭 3. Capitalism Is Not Inherently Anti-Magic
Capitalism is a system of voluntary exchange. It can be used to exploit—or to empower. Many witches and warlocks run businesses, sell their crafts, teach their arts, and support themselves through trade. That’s not “selling out”—that’s survival, sovereignty, and self-sufficiency. If you think capitalism is incompatible with magic, you’re ignoring centuries of magical practitioners who sold potions, readings, and protective charms in every village and city across the globe.
🗽 4. MAGA Is a Political Movement, Not a Spiritual Ban
Supporting MAGA may reflect someone’s views on national sovereignty, border control, economic policy, or cultural preservation. You can disagree with those views—but you don’t get to declare someone spiritually invalid because of them. That’s authoritarianism masquerading as spiritual wisdom.
⚔️ 5. Gatekeeping Is the Real Fraud
The moment someone says “a real witch or warlock can’t support (X),” they’ve abandoned the path of magic and embraced ideological policing. That’s not spiritual leadership—it’s authoritarian mimicry dressed in robes and incense. The Craft is about personal development, spiritual power, and not surrendering it to group-think or purity tests.
And let’s be clear: the gatekeepers who spew this nonsense are the ones invoking terms like “heresy” and “blasphemy”—because they’re not practicing Witchery or Warlockery. They’re roleplaying as inquisitors.
Real practitioners don’t need to enforce orthodoxy. They walk their paths, may form new ones, or none at all.
Historically, witches and warlocks weren’t ideological martyrs—they were pragmatic, sovereign, and often deeply entwined with their communities (as in people whom they lived among, not out in some abandoned shack as Hollywood often presents it).
Ancient records across cultures show practitioners receiving payment, gifts, and offerings for their services. Whether it was healing, protection, divination, or curse-breaking (or causing), they operated within economic systems—sometimes bartering, sometimes charging, sometimes being honored with donations.
That’s not corruption.
That’s survival.
That’s respect.
To claim that capitalism or political affiliation invalidates someone’s magical identity is not just historically ignorant—it’s spiritually fraudulent. It erases centuries of lived practice and replaces it with modern ideological cosplay.
⚔️ 6. No One Owns the Words/Titles “Warlock” or “Witch”
(Not even us even though we made far more effort to extract the real origins of both and a more concise meaning of the words themselves).
One of the most persistent modern myths is the idea that a single religious movement—often Wicca or its offshoots—has the authority to define who may call themselves a witch or a warlock. That claim collapses the moment you compare it to actual history.
Witchery and Warlockery existed long before |Wicca/Wica" Occult group from England was founded in the mid‑20th century, and they have appeared in various ways throughout several European cultures, languages (long before being loaned elsewhere), as titles and identities of specific practices across the world with wildly different beliefs, roles, and methods of achieving or striving for specific outcomes.
When someone insists that only their tradition gets to define these titles, and that any evidence to the error of "long held assumptions" is somehow "heretical," what they’re really doing is trying to rewrite history to justify themselves in an act of confirmation biases. It’s not preservation—it’s true appropriation, and better defined, linguistic and cultural hijacking.
It’s the attempt to turn a diverse, ancient, cross‑cultural set of practices into a single, modern, self‑referential identity system where definitions change based on personal preference or whatever someone “feels” the word should mean today. That's not research. It's willful ignorance reinforced by cheap arrogance.
Nothing truly works that way.
Warlockery and Witchery have always been plural, adaptive, and rooted in lived practice—not in trend cycles, and not in the whims of any one group. No tradition, especially one less than a century old (from the time of this post), gets to retroactively claim ownership over titles that existed for hundreds or thousands of years before it.
And no one gets to erase the practitioners who came before them simply because those practitioners don’t fit their preferred present narrative. Additionally, a title is earned through practice, discipline, and identity—not granted by a modern spiritual bureaucracy. And in that, Druwayu honors such things because it retains this requirement.
🧙♂️ Final Word
The craft, regardless if you go ahead and call it something else or use various spellings for "magic" or something else, is not a purity test. It’s a path of research and practice, of choices and consequences.
Anyone walking it with discipline, intention, and respect is valid—regardless of how they vote or what economic system they navigate; or frankly whatever the dominate religion happens to be or the specific terms native to their own tongues that often get (erroneously) transliterated as warlocks or witches.
If someone tries to revoke your spiritual identity because of your politics, they’re not defending the craft, magic or whatever. They’re abusing it and others and making it little more than a cheap knock off novelty of parlor tricks and bullshit.
