Witchspotting 101 (a basic introduction)
Disclaimer: We do not advocate violence against any group or individual regardless of their lifestyle — it is called freewill.
This article is intended for novelty purposes. About music videos and artists (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 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)
As with many religions, when you start seeing excessive amounts of adherents and symbolism it should make one a little skeptical (especially in the entertainment industry).
… and if the rumors are true, everyone in the music business is supposedly a witch (I doubt that), which obviously makes this article useless, but you still might have fun looking for some of the less obvious stuff.
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 following clues (it may be someone behind the scenes, they may be performers doing it simply for the shock value).
(although we thought about giving some examples, we decide not to give fuel to haters; some groups/singers get too much hate now; there are too many people who may or not, be actual witches to point fingers at any one)
We are not talking about white, fairy magic, Wicca witches. We are talking full on, diabolical witchcraft. Yes, they do exist, they are out there, some operating individually, others in groups. You may even have one or more on a playlist of your favorite music videos. (we are fairly certain that we do)
***
This is by no means an extensive breakdown of clues and hints, just a few things we have observed.
There are some that combine aspects of various religions into their individual mix … and it can be very difficult to differentiate a diabolical, from a Wicca, from a performer, … (unless you actually know the individual).
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.
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)
if it were this easy; it wouldn't be nearly as fun๐1) Forget the bullsh*t that you think you know about witches.
2) Do not expect to find a witch hiding inside mirrors, or flying around on a broom. — unlike popular stereotypes, they are not always old, physically ugly (or green). Nor do the women necessarily wear hats, — although that does seem to occasionally return to being in style, but not necessarily the classic pointed type — it may even be a baseball cap.
3) Diabolical witches are a crafty breed (pun intended).
4) Do not be fooled by people, doing silly, witchy things merely for attention or the entertainment/shock value. Those are just performers (and some are quite good at it). Witches do not generally advertise the fact — it is called occult for a reason (look it up).
However, one must remember that a performer does have the ability to claim what they are doing is only acting, performing or make-believe
5) They do not always wear black, although some do look quite good in black.
6) The obvious is not always; and vice versa.
7) Their songs are not necessarily better than anyone else's, but you may think so.
8) Witches are not all necessarily evil (or queer; or vice versa). They are not necessarily trying to destroy the world, nor to do harm to anyone.
(witches are not necessarily diabolical)
All that being said, you may still be able to spot one, if you know what to look for.
Are they as good as they think they are at hiding it? Are you as good as you think you are at spotting it?
One thing does not necessarily mean anything, but the more things noticed, the more likely you found one.
A caveat: Not all witches need or use any obvious symbols, gestures, whispered vocals or trinkets. (it's all mental) Those can be some of the most powerful ones. However, you may be able to sense the power, but that can be tricky (especially for a novice).

Don't just watch the singer. Notice the surrounding, 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”.
For some strange reason some witches seem fascinated with mirrors and especially breaking them.
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 that๐). (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? (just because it isn't traditional witchcraft, doesn't mean they won't use it)
A performer may blatantly display a group of three sixes (paired with an inverted cross or pentagram), but a witch might be more likely to use 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 (we are not talking blatant, in your face, Black Metal, but it can be). 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 is the international sign language for “love”; but it was an interesting choice.๐
Seeing someone using either gesture, is about as much of an indicator of a witch as someone using the heart hand gesture; which, of course, is the new international identification.๐
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?
***
How do you feel when watching the performer or video? Although feelings can be tricky, and erroneous. Do you feel nervous, scared, disgusted? Or are you attracted to the individual(s). Nervous and scary is usually the result of well played psychological elements, like in a good horror movie. Scaring you gets your guard up, a fight of flight sort of thing, an adrenaline rush. A diabolical witch wants to gain your trust, so you like them, or even love them. Scaring, angering or disgusting you usually defeats the purpose, but it depends on the witch.
***
Oh, and of course the one eye covered Illuminati hand gestures; oh yeah, of course๐( yeah, we seem skeptical; we really don't believe any of that crap (Illuminati, black pope, …); we think it's all bullsh*t; but we could be wrong๐ณ) If we are wrong; we would guess that not all real witches are necessarily part of it.๐
Then there is the apperently newer hand gesture, used quite often in k-pop videos, a variation on the old “Ok” gesture; whch supposedly represents three sixes (the thumb and index finger being the combined loops, the other fingers being the upper portions … yeah, whatever๐ … but again, what do I know?)
Do note: Many hand gestures in dance performance are simply benign gestures, they can also be associated with other religions, such as Buddhism or Hinduism.
Someone should redefine the thumbs up gesture. ๐๐๐๐๐คช
Watch for things you see over and over, with different singers or groups (choreography, hand gestures, ...) ... oh, like the antler hand gesture๐
We don't necessarily suggest you waste your time watching a video frame by frame, but sometimes it can be interesting.
If you think you have spotted a real diabolical witch, notice things they do in various music videos. Then watch for those things in other people's videos. (yeah, yeah, imitation is the highest form of … blah, blah, blah)
If someone says they are a witch; are they? There are a few things to consider. What is their definition of witch? A wiccan, a bitch? Are they lying, to make real ones believe they are one of them? Remember, since a real witch often has a fondness of lying, would they really tell you the truth? Some will admit they like dark things.
It is also possible that some singers may in an attempt to gain or maintain popularity, desperately try to make people think they are witches (seems rather lame, but๐ฅฑ)
I have seen YouTube videos addressing the question of people possibly seeing demons on stage with a performer or group. Some say yes, some no. Actually, they are both correct. Demons will not usually appear in true form in such a public place as a concert. However, the performer can be possessed. In that case you are seeing a demonic presence, just not as obvious.
(I'm not talking about the sh*t you see on movies, like The Exorcist)
There are singers, groups and bands who are drug through the mud because of their use of this, that, or whatever symbolism in their music videos. However, the real diabolical witches often seem immune to any of that; in fact they are often loved by masses of adoring fans, who are either satanist themselves or just willfully delusional.
(oh, and yes, perhaps I neglected to point out the fact that diabolical witches are satanists, devil worshipers, demon possessed, or whatever terminology for evil that you may prefer)
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 the fun of it)

It is amusing how all one need do is don black clothing, dangle a few symbolic necklaces and sing a weird (or crypticly strange) song and the multitudes think they are witches. When many of the real witches maintain their public appearance and very few ever notice.๐คจ๐
if you are not good at this; don't feel bad, there are those who wouldn't know a witch if one bit them in the ass๐
It's a developed skill. Don't just watch what they want you to see.

(It should go without saying, considering k-pop is a product of a country with different cultural norms and understandings than western ones, one must remember that anything seen in the music videos could simply be a marketing ploy directed at potential fans in western countries whom they believe are into the occult. Perhaps that is the majority of the fan base. Or simply thought of as something cool to do
There is quite a lot of it (too much), which makes me suspect that some of it is most likely bullsh*t. Same with Heavy Metal; which makes some of it that much scarier๐ฌ
perhaps the school of, if a little do good, more do better; and if that's true with TNT, I suppose …
Or, the genre could be full of witches; and how many videos are casting?
In all fairness, aren't they simply following the western music formula?)
Some groups and singers in k-pop are less obvious in their display of certain symbolism than those in some other genres, making it at least somewhat more challenging, and that is the only reason I have specifically mentioned it in this article.
If you are new to witchspotting, you could check out some of the K-pop music videos. You may not find any real ones, but you could have fun trying to determine if any really are.
It is also possible that there is one or more unseen persons working their mojo while the groups are performing. Being nothing that the groups themselves are doing. Perhaps even a svengali sort of thing.๐คจ
(How many years do the companies train the idols? How long does it take to brainwash a teenager? How many of the idols are playing the idiots running the companies?๐)
There seems to be unknown and unseen element within and outside of the genre that could be effecting various aspects.
I'm hoping some scholarly type will do a white paper on this genre. (any links?)
It is amusing how some members of k-pop groups are apparently forthcoming about their religions, yet none, that I'm aware of, have admitted to being pagan, Wiccan or witches. (I suppose that should tell us something, no?)
Another caveat to point out: Considering how it is widely believed that k-pop companies are controlling every aspect of the singers lives, as well as the music. That does give the singers a certain plausible deniability, allowing them to behave in whatever way they choose (occult be damned). They can always deny it and point their witchy little finger at the people running the company.๐

I have seen singers or groups loose their magic in the past (it can happen, sometimes with disastrous results: not exactly sure how or why), but it’s usually people I became a fan of while they still had it. However, it just occurred to me that one of the k-pop groups I've recently discovered seems to have already had that happen. Watching their earlier stuff is nothing (I mean absolutely nothing) like the new crap they are putting out. (actually kind of sad, but it usually is) Okay, so the group may have simply changed musical directions, and did loose a member, but ….
That could be why some groups fall off, or why some disband before making total fools of themselves.
***
There is one singer in a popular k-pop girl group who has a mystical quality about her (not necessarily witchcraft), when she is performing live, unlike anything I have felt before (and no I'm not saying who; you figure it out).
***
just a couple sidenotes:
Ra was the name of an ancient Egyptian deity.
Mnevis was also an ancient Egyptian deity.
seraphim are also associated by some as “fiery flying sepents”
***
And do be careful, some music may be addictive.

and just because someone may act like a ____ doesn't mean they are๐

Witchspotting Drinking Game:
Someone suggested this for a drinking game. Just start watching random YouTube music videos. Those spotting something witchy gets a drink.
tip: try searching YouTube for something like:
witchy song playlist
spooky k-pop playlist
__
author’s note: many do not discuss these sorts of things, simply because many will call them crazy — we grew up with our friends calling us crazy, so we are sort of use to it๐ — obviously we seem to think we have nothing better to do๐
— and yes we do believe UFO's exist ๐ธ๐ธ๐ณ๐ธ — we may create another blog for that๐ (if this one gets any activity)
--- ? vampires ? --- we have not decided about them, ------ yet๐ค
update: yeah, definitely; I think the f**kers running some k-pop companies are; sucking the singers dry and destroying their souls in the process
yeah, parents, give your kids to those devils in an attempt to line your pockets
and some people wonder why there would be a fire and brimstone hell; hmmm? that's amusing๐

Search for: what happens when a coven of witches loose a member?
AI Overview
"When a witch leaves or a coven loses a member, the impact varies significantly depending on the reasons for their departure, the coven's specific traditions, and the nature of their magical connection.
In modern Wiccan covens, the process is often a respectful, ceremonial farewell. In fictional lore, it can lead to a dramatic and destructive disruption of power.
In modern witchcraft and Wicca
For covens in the real world, the loss of a member generally involves a mix of practical and emotional consequences.
Practical effects
A "hiving" process: Covens are often considered unwieldy beyond a certain number of members, with 13 frequently cited as an ideal maximum. If a coven becomes too large, a senior member may leave to start their own coven, a practice known as "hiving".
Recruitment: The remaining members may seek a new witch to join. Some covens have an extensive vetting process to ensure the right fit, which can include a long "getting to know you" period before a candidate is accepted.
Group dynamics: The loss can alter the internal dynamics of the group. A High Priestess leaving, for example, may cause the remaining members to reevaluate their path and purpose.
Ritual and emotional aspects
Farewell ceremonies: A witch leaving on good terms may participate in a formal "Rite of Farewell" ritual. This offers closure to the coven and gives blessings to the departing member.
Mourning rituals: If a member dies, the coven may create a mourning altar or perform rituals to honor the deceased. This provides comfort for the grieving covenmates and offers a respectful send-off for the departed's spirit.
Negative departures: If a member leaves due to conflict, such as a disagreement with the leaders, unhealthy group dynamics, or a poor fit, the aftermath can be difficult. In such cases, the departure may be dramatic and have a lasting impact on group cohesion.
In fictional works and mythology
In fantasy and popular culture, losing a coven member is often a far more dramatic and dangerous event.
Weakened power: The strength of a coven's magic is often tied to the number of members. Losing a witch, especially one with a specific power or role, can weaken the collective's abilities or break the balance of their magic.
Betrayal and retribution: If a member betrays their coven, they can face severe magical retaliation. In the movie The Craft, it is stated that in "the old days, if a witch betrayed her coven, they would kill her".
A power vacuum: The departure or death of a powerful leader can create a vacuum, causing infighting and instability as others vie for control. In some fantasy worlds, this can even cause the coven to "implode".
Loss of a power source: In some fictional narratives, a coven may draw its power from a specific magical source. If a witch is intrinsically tied to that power, their departure can cut off the coven from that energy. In The Vampire Diaries lore, the French Quarter witches could not leave New Orleans because their power came from the ancestors buried in the city's cemetery.
Loss of leadership: In the show The Coven, when a leader gives up their position, the power passes to the "next best-fit person". However, this can still result in the coven becoming weaker, as the new leader may not be as naturally suited for the role as the original leader."
๐awesome idea for a drinking game, every time someone spots something witchy they get another drink
ReplyDeleteYou probably should make it a rule that someone can't just say, “Hey, they look witchy. Give me another drink!”๐
