What now Chicken Little?

Help!  Help! Ebay is persecuting pagan people and tossing all our wares off its site!  Really?  Wonder why it did that?  Maybe it’s just because its had some sort of rule or another since like forever about some of this stuff.  The problem is online stores are catching up with the mundane about services offered and how they are policed.  Many places have ordinances about those who sell readings, spellwork and herbal decoctions.  After all, where is this stuff regulated and who knows if the ones selling it are legit?  There in lies the rub of it all.  When allowed to sell their wares of love spells, hexes, or tinctures to help push the envelope of astral travel, then those sites allowing it to happen are also likely to be held liable should someone seek recourse for a failed spell or worse..physical/mental harm.  Truthfully, there is so much crap floating around for sale, it is hard to tell those who are genuine and those who are only in the business for the money unless you look really hard at them.  Go into larger cities, and you can find botanicas, metaphysical shops, and new agey places.  What you probably will NOT find is someone in there who is knowledgeable about spell work or the herbs used for them, incense correspondences without looking it up.  Oh hey..there’s an idea..buy a book!  Many do just that.  People write books about spells and how to do it yourself even those buying them have little or no experience in doing such.  The truth is that many do NOT practice so have little to no experience with what they write about, make or sell.  Their ingredients may be some run of the mill weed that looks similar to what is actually supposed to be used and it could be toxic.  OMDamn! But where is the “harm none” in all that?  Good question.   Because in most cases the goods are sold to those who haven’t researched enough history to figure out what they need or how to go about achieving it.   Want a job spell?  go walk a bit, put in some applications.  Want a love spell?  Try being yourself and cut out all the bullshit games when you meet someone.  Need something to calm you down “before someone gets hurt”?  maybe you need to see a dr..you know..a real one to rule out any physical or psychological issue before trying magic.  If it is neither of those, try some meditation(that helps even with a dr’s assistance).  or use some herbal blends in teas or a trusted herbal store.  But don’t go seeking some service from someone who had no clue what is going on in your life.
So while people will whine and cry about the loss of revenue and ability to push their snake oil to those who arent sure if they are on the level or not , I agree with it myself.  If you are truly about helping others, you will find a way to do so, whether it be on a site you create yourself and advertise on social media, or even open your own little shop and sell locally.  It can be done.  As for those looking for an easy way to get through life…suck it up cupcake..You are just existing anyway.
