Did Taylor Swift Just ADMIT to Being a WITCH?

Nevertheless, I think she should be thanked for the fundraising for Gaza.

I hope she gets over that type of aesthetic, though ...

1:23 "inadvertently practising some witchy things"

No such thing.

Ouija boards are ouija boards, that's not inadvertently.

Is she promoting such things that openly? Yes or no?

3:08 She might, from that tweet, less be a witch than a fan of some (real or fake, Silver RavenWolf -- I had to look her up -- or Sabrina the Teen Witch).

However, that she's not for banning abortion is worrying.

5:19 That clip ... I'm pretty much not a Swiftie (never was anyway).

5:54 Taylor amnesia?

Probably in deep trance. Need not have anything to do with witchcraft, simply the stimuli are a bit hypnotic ... and ...

"On dates where Taylor performs the full Eras Tour setlist, the concert is 3 hours and 15 minutes long. However, Taylor often has surprises at her shows and in some cases the concerts have lasted as long as 3 hours and 45 minutes."

I have never watched a hypnosis video that's even 45 minutes long. Actually I started one, but did not watch it to the end. IF the experience is hypnotic per se, it obviously deepens and deepens towards the end, and after 3 hours 45 minutes, it is somewhat ... deep. Amnesia could happen.

6:56 The question is of the thing applies to Swift.

A medium will do much worse than just hypnotise you. Giving a hypnotic experience, and it lasts 3 hours and more, amnesia is one possible side effect from trance. NOT what Leviticus is talking about.

If you want to know what mediums really do, read Oedipus Rex. If you don't know Attic, there are translations (I admit, before the test I did use a Loeb edition).

If you want to know what consulting one really is like, read Aeneid VI. If you don't know Latin (and here I didn't use Loeb) ...

My docent (assisting professor I think is the US title) in Latin, the one who did poetry, is a Catholic priest (or about as Catholic as Novus Ordo's get, when they are Ratzinger fans). He was also my second father confessor. Now, his comment on Aeneid VI, the scene with the Sibyl, was "this still exists, this is what voodoo mediums do" ...

There is a big difference between getting into a trance generally speaking (prayer usually involves trance, and using hypnosis for combatting stress is licit, as long as one isn't trying to obtain supernatural results), and invoking a demon to control the trance, or getting into a demon controlled trance when it doesn't even remotely feel good for one.

The demon in both Oedipus Rex and Aeneid VI is called Apollo. The five cases of his name in Greek gematria add up to 2666. Did you know there is a professional corps which often, not always, swears by that name ...?

7:30 Checking, the word in Galatians 5:20 is φαρμακεία (mixing potions, usually seen as when it's about medical effects, it's licit, but it becomes illicit in abortion, contraceptive drugs, drugs that make someone easier to control, drugs that lead to increased or decreased potency "in bed" ...)

Instead of going for Swift on that account, how about going for shrinks, especially those that give patients medication in syringes that stay in the body for weeks?

7:51 Yes, precisely, φαρμάκοις is used in Apocalypse 21:8 as well.

8:51 I can definitely relate to not feeling good about the kind of imagery I saw on that clip.

Even if she's not a witch, which (!) is probable enough, if you have read Oedipus or Aeneid VI, as I have ... it doesn't give you any feel good vibe.

And if you wonder, in hypnosis videos I watch, I avoid the roleplays involving witches.

Just as I have avoided one big ASMR artist since her visualisation of the person hypnotised walking on the water, I know I'm not Jesus and not St. Peter either.

I'm also not into anything like "previous lives" or "astral journeys" even for visualisations just for fun. To me, it's not fun.

How Taylor Swift invited a lot of demons to her concert and why the demons are watching her acts

Note, Fr. Reehil is not saying she was consciously invoking demons to come, he says she was giving them an occasion they are not likely to miss, whether she was aware or not.
