Witchspotting 101 (a basic introduction)

Witchspotting Drinking Game:

Someone suggested this for a drinking game.

Disclaimer: We do not advocate violence against any group or individual regardless of their lifestyle — it is called freewill.

Just start watching random YouTube music videos. Players spotting something witchy gets a drink. (doesn't have to be alcohol; could be cookies, or candy, ...)

tip: for using alcohol, depending on the videos you watch, you may want to use small amounts😉

tip: for beginners, try searching YouTube for something like:

       witchy song playlist

       spooky k-pop playlist

This is intended for novelty purposes. More specifically about music videos and artist (no not just Heavy Metal). It is not intended for, nor should it to be used as a guide for witch-hunting.

No particular music genre is necessarily any better or worse, however, some individuals, and companies, in some genres are more obvious than others.

Heavy Metal seems to have taken a backseat to Pop in the blatant display of satanic imagery in their music videos and performance. (go figure)

… and if the rumors are true, everyone in the music business is supposedly a witch (I doubt that), but this isn't necessarily about identifying who is a witch, but rather looking for witchy signs and symbols being used within the music videos.

We are not saying who is or is not a witch, nor will we name or suggest any group or individual as such, regardless of how well they may or may not fit any, or all, of the clues. It is nearly impossible to differentiate a performer from a witch, unless you actually know the individual. It may be someone behind the scenes, they may be doing it simply for the shock value.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy theorist; it is also possible that some singers (especially in K-pop groups) may be the product of some sort of mind control conditioning. Thus mearly a puppet for the producers and companies they work for.

Although we thought about giving some examples, we decide not to give fuel to haters; some groups/singers get too much hate now.

However, there is now a companion YouTube channel. Where I may add a few videos on the subject.

This is by no means an extensive breakdown of clues and hints, just a few things we have observed.

Feel free to post your comments, even annoymously. It is okay to mention things you notice in music videos, but please do not maliciously point fingers at specific bands or singers.

If anyone has done a deeper dive into this subject, feel free to put a link to the location in the comment section.

The most evil element of a song is usually not the visual aspects of a music video, but the lyrics.

For instance: how many people, especially young girls have sung the Carly Rae Jepsen song Call Me Maybe? If you're not familiar with the lyrics, you can always find them online.

How many songs have you heard with one line that is questionable or even blasphemous? How many people unwittingly sing those songs? Do you think the writers and distributors of those songs do not realize that?

Do not become overzealous!

Ask yourself this: If you could kill all the witches in the world, what would that make you? (think a few minutes before answering that)

Are they as good as they think they are at hiding it (although a lot is not hidden)? More importantly are you as good as you think you are at spotting it? Which is the real point of the game.

Some of the stuff is very quick, and you may ask, how then does one even notice it. Well, actually, I don't think you are supposed to. Therein lies the challenge😉.

Don't just watch the singer. Notice the surroundings, background, dancers, props, CGI, ….

Ever see a music video with the old cross and book design on a door. The ones with the inverted cross?

What about four pane window frames with a longer upper frame piece?

Notice the backgrounds, any designs, stars, crescent moons, stylized sun, inverted crosses, runes?

Crosses or pentacles on clothing, tattoos? Are they always upright?

Notice the lyrics, what are they saying? What are they meaning? Sometimes it is obvious.

Mistranslations of foreign lyrics? Use of nonsense, and seemingly meaningless words. — The whispers that are not in the published lyrics. (you have noticed those, haven't you?)

We are not talking about the normal backup vocals that some like to foolishly refer to as “hidden vocals”.

Mirrors and especially broken ones.

Do you really like that cute singer, or is it the red candles burning in their music video? (notice any other candles, especially black)

How about a cross on a necklace or bracelet? Okay, no big deal, until they start dancing around. As animated as some singers are, you might notice what the cross is doing ( — but we are sure they did not realize that🙄). (remember a cross doesn't necessarily mean christian)

Notice the choreography, when watching a group of singers, or a solo singer with dancers. When the soloist is surrounded, do the others form a pattern, points of a star (five, six, …). Do some, or all, ever form an inverted cross or pentacle?

Ever notice the clever interlinking of some K-pop groups? Of course, you have noticed the multiarmed choreography?

A performer may blatantly display a group of three sixes (paired with an inverted cross or pentagram), but watch for a more clever method. Such as, three lower case “b”, two nines and a six, a grouping of nine twos, or any combination which in effect create three sixes.

Playing cards are a good trick; three sixes, three twos. Certain cards can have specific meanings. Oh, and do not forget dice.

Some, for various reasons, are fond of other numbers (4, 13, …). The numbers can be repeated and separated throughout the music video (“678”, “18”, …).

As for hand gestures. Most people are aware of the so-called horned hand or devil salute (which seems used by everyone and their mother) and many of the various misinterpretations, but many completely miss the classic casting and capturing hand gestures. If you are a fan of old horror movies, you probably know what we are referring to. For casting the individual waves or directs their hand outward, toward the viewer. For capturing, they draw the extended hand, clenching, back (often abruptly) towards themselves, as if grabbing something from in front of them.

You may still notice the horned hand, but it may or may not always be so obvious. Look for a subtle, beside the head, index finger extended, then the smaller finger smoothly extended in a much less obvious manner. Women are good at this, as they can do it all so demure, usually with a nice little smile. In groups, notice the other members in the background, or off to the sides with the hand not necessarily extended upward (often extended back or downward). But occasionally, directly at the camera. Which can be harder to spot than you might think, especially when it is done quickly. You may notice less obvious variations, but basically still the same salute. Remember, with the thumb outward it is the international sign language for “love”; but it was an interesting choice.🌚

Oh, and that twirling, pointing finger some singers seem so fond of.

Watch for gestures done a specific number of times (especially in groups of three).

Notice the number of repetitions of lyrics or words. Count the paired kick beats, ride bell, … (yes we are serious). Notice any tribal tom-tom patterns (tribes do not use the drums just to amuse themselves). – No. We are not those people who insists that all drums are evil ( – we like hard rock music).

Walking, talking, or doing just about anything backwards.

The evil eye? We are not certain it exists, but historically it seems to be believed by many cultures. Although not exactly sure what it would look like, but generally is thought to be a rather unpleasant antisocial glance or gaze. Perhaps a scowl or sneer?

Of course, there is the whole thing of Illuminati, Masonic, ... hand gestures and symbolism. Which you could choose to add to your game/hobby. Personally, although there may be similarities, I don't consider those as witchcraft.

(and usually are so obvious that including it defeats the point of this game; but if you want to get drunk quick, just look for the checkerboard floors🙄    I have no clue, but that is supposedly some sort of indicator ?????🤨)

***

Notice lyrics like (or similar to):

(which can often be used, for hypnotic suggestion, or spellcasting)

I'll make you …

Gonna make you …

You will …

My/Your will …

I will …

I am …

You can't …

You're so into …

You want more of …

You can't get enough

Come with me

Come to me

Follow me

Listen to me

Take my hand

Or some more obvious lyrics and symbols, such as reference to (or associated with):

casting spells

darkness

witchcraft

various cults or *isms

Of course, there are others, but none necessarily mean anything alone, but the more other things they might be combined with, well ….

To be continued …

(we plan to add more things to look for, as well as interacting with anyone who wishes to post comments — but do remember, this is just for fun)

If you are not good at this; don't feel bad, it's a developed skill. Don't just watch what they want you to see.

... and like with any game, the more you play, the better you get  .... usually😃

(but if you are using alcohol, getting too good could effect your ability to play ..... 😃)
