The rumor mill has been rumbling with unfortunate news for anybody who has ever burned sage or tried a manifestation ritual. Etsy witches are claiming that the platform that has become synonymous with their services is trying to eliminate them from it. There have been multiple reports of listings and shops being wiped from the e-commerce site, in what has been described as a «literal witch hunt.»

Charging anything from a couple of dollars to the cost of a couple of weeks’ groceries, the spell casters who ply their wares on Etsy offer a whole range of products. There are people who promise to manifest money, a partner, or a new house, curse your no-good ex, cast a spell to give you your dream job, or the legal outcome that you want. If trusting any future successes to a stranger with supernatural powers feels like too much of a risk, then just get a simple tarot reading instead.
