It's not that I can't tell the difference between fantasy literature and my practice, it's just that Discworld terminology is incredibly appropriate for describing real-world concepts...
so in general i prefer the terminology of folk v ceremonial rather than high v low when it comes to magic
but sometimes i read some stuff from ~high~ magicians that makes me want to just be like FUCK YOU I'M A ~LOW~ MAGICIAN AND FUCKING PROUD
and then sidle off, muttering quotes from esme weatherwax

I'm coining and hereby claiming the word "mythode" for future reference
as a possible descriptor for certain [non]religious and philosophical beliefs of mine. "Mythophile" was another contender, but "mythode" feels more appropriate at the moment.
Etymology: myth - "speech, thought, story, myth, anything delivered by word of mouth" + suffix -ode, from hodos, meaning "way" or "path".
Meaning: lit. "the way of stories"; intended use, more along the lines of "a person dedicated to the way of stories". It refers to someone who sees certain stories as having a significant impact on their views and choices, but does not believe that the stories in question are actually true. This could range from an atheist taking inspiration from the Christian concept of the Trinity, to a fan of a modern work of fiction finding a life-changing moral in the story, to a historian loving the phrase "eppur si muove".
I'm new to ycibaysfb, although i've been a fan of watchful-entity for a while now... and I find it very amusing that ycibaysfb has the tag 'pagans are arsonists'. Because even though I agree with ycibaysfb and w-e and mentemmortaliatangunt &co. on most things, the one tag I really can't get behind is 'pagans', because it alternates between collecting genuinely harmful community bullshit, and just collecting weird practises regardless of the rationale behind them. (Which I kind of get, but it's a bit boring as a pagan to read about 'omg some people do x!!!' when x is totally normal within the range of pagan practices.)
But yeah, re: 'pagans are arsonists' - god yes. I'm such a pyromaniac when it comes to witchcraft.
Burning things is like a magical shorthand for just about everything ever. I love it.
Interesting to see different perspectives in witchcraft.
Like the idea of reusing things, and whether you can or can't.
For me, objects used previously in spells *might* still carry some magical residue, but it's pretty easy to override. I'll happily reuse objects, provided they're still around.
However, they are usually not, because my witchcraft tends to involve quite a lot of burning shit...
