apricops:
Ancient Romans buried curse tablets the size of credit cards, called defixiones, in graves and bodies of water, in the hope of bringing suffering on the unlucky soul of their choosing. These curse tablets are so uniform that historians assume that there was a cottage industry of scribes or magicians churning them out.
Whenever you want to make fun of crystal moms or teens in their Wicca phase, just remember that we’ve been reducing magic to cheap mass-produced tchotchkes for actual millennia.
even more fantastic is the phrase “cottage industry of magicians.” Like, imagine being a magician but instead of inspiring fear and respect among your neighbors you’re just, like, running an Etsy shop selling Fuck You Cards
wait
