I swear. People are losing their damn minds.
I mentioned this all briefly in my Satanic Panic post back in April about how there are a bunch of Right Wing Evangelicals making the claim that Taylor Swift is a witch, or satanic, or both. Some have even gone as far as to “conclude” she must be a clone of Zeena Schreck, daughter of Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey. Ignoring the fact that cloning tech is nowhere near this good now, let alone when Taylor was born. I think they watched the movie “The Boys from Brazil” and thought it was a documentary. No. I don’t give them the benefit of the doubt for having read the book instead.I mean, I could go on and on; there is so much stupid shit out there. Just Google “Taylor Swift Witch” and read in horror how gullible (and stupid) some people are. Honestly, it boils down to three things.
She is a successful woman.She says what she wants, when, and how she wants.They can’t control her, and they find that galling.Plus, she is smart (as evidenced by her taking control of her own record deals) and knows how to have fun with her public persona (see “No, Its Becky”).
It’s Me. I’m Witches.
So what do they do? They take a page from their favorite playbook, and I honestly think this is Page 1, and they try to demonize her—somewhat literally.
Parents, know what your kids are listening to!!

And of course, if someone mentions witches online, it has my attention.
It has been decided. She is a witch in my games, specifically a Pumpkin Spice Witch. But since no PSL is complete without a dash of cinnamon, she has a dash of Mara Witch in her, too. Why? Because she thinks it is funny.

Like any witch worth her cauldron, Taylor has written many spells herself. She also altered versions of classic witch spells, which she refers to as “Taylor’s Versions.”Bad BloodLevel: Witch 2Duration: PermanentRange: All targets within 60’This spell is like a friendship spell, only in reverse. Once cast, humanoids and intelligent creatures (INT greater than 7) who had previously had good relations will begin to dislike each other and begin to fight amongst each other.
A successful saving throw redirects these feelings of ill-will back to the witch who cast it. Better than RevengeLevel: Witch 5Duration: Instantaneous Range: One targetThis spell can only be targeted by someone who has personally hurt the witch. When triggered, usually by damage or some other hurt, the damage is returned back double. So, double damage or other effect.

EnchantedLevel: Witch 3Duration: 1 hourRange: 60 feetWith this spell the witch sings a haunting melody that enchants creatures of her choice within range. Each affected creature must succeed on a saving throw or be charmed by her for the duration.

Taylor is a lover, not a fighter. But still, don’t piss her off. Or break-up with her.
