#And the Absolute Irony In The Mormon Thing Is Just Too Much To Handle Honestly.

[brightgnosis]

Firstly, I'mma need y'all to learn some serious critical thinking skills and discernment. Because practicing something like highly modified Mormon derived Folk Healing (which is explicitly condemned by the Church, and is an officially abandoned practice) as a spiteful disabled Pagan Queer currently converting to Judaism, who is Ex-Mo and was directly victimized by the Mormon church ... Is not even remotely the same thing as actively being Mormon. Nor does practicing it inherently mean being Racist just because the Mormon Church itself has a foundational history of Racism, y'all.

Practices can be changed, deconstructed, and used in "heretical" and "unsanctioned" ways by the very people victimized by their systems. This is a thing. It is not the same on on the same level or playing field as these systems themselves. If y'all can understand that about things like Catholic Folk Magic and African Diasporic Religions, but y'all can't understand that about Mormon Folk Practices, then you're a bigot and a hypocrite.

Secondly: I'm not even going to touch on the absolute lie that any form of the substitutions debate is "blatant class warfare that was explicitly designed to keep poor people out of Witchcraft, and is inherently a form of gatekeeping and eugenicist bullshit". Because not only do I blatantly disprove that by existing as a disabled, impoverished agender whose been doing this just fine for 23 years now with minimal resources or materials ... But I've also actually actively been directly involved in a lot of the originating discussions on the grand scale, and read enough history and older materials from the Revival, to absolutely know better that it's not.

That claim is so utterly asinine and divorced from the actual history of that debate in the last decade especially that it's literal ahistorical insanity and doesn't even deserve any kind of response. Please grow up and learn both your class and occult theory from somewhere other than Tumblr University 101.
