Okay, so I remember being a teen and trying to learn magick. I didn't read much so I did not fully understand the concepts behind Wicca, Witchcraft and etc. I was still open minded and tried to learn. However, I recently stumbled across some sites with forums. Most all teens - very few adults. I stayed on the sites because I remembered that when I was a teen, I only dreamed of meeting a legit witch who could help me out. Well, these teens are nuts! It seriously makes me wonder about how any of them could believe the crap they do.
Examples:
One site is dedicated to Mermaids and Witchcraft. On it most of the members are trying to do spells for becoming a mermaid while claiming to be Wiccans who have a good understanding of magick. Some of the members are serious about witchcraft and the forum - others have watched way too much of the show H2O.
Then there is one girl who is 19 years old and claims to be a mermaid, daughter of Neptune, half-demon, seer, Wiccan witch and avatar. Avatar on these sites seems to mean you were reincarnated with a demon piggy backing our soul and being born with you into this life and body. She claims even more than this, but lets move on.
I've also found most of them have watched way too much of the show Avatar: The Last Air Bender. They actually believe it is possible to learn to control Earth, Air, Fire, and Water like in the show by using martial art types moves that involve using your Qi/Chi. I twitched. I know it is possible to control things a little bit with your mind, but they don't say it is telekinesis or anything like that. It is purely based on the freaking cartoon show and etc.
Then, I really get a laugh at all the people talking about a War. Most of these fruit loops claim to be demi-gods. They say the veil is thinning and that when it breaks the astral beings will gain physical bodies. This will cause a war involving demi-gods and other supernatural beings fighting these astral beings. What is funny, is I can remember a similar talked about war thing when I was there age - 10 years ago. That never happened and their war won't either. But some truly believe it and fear for their lives.
Oh and the thing about the demi-god teens is that all the signs they get that allows them claim as a demi are the same signs that are common when a Pagan is trying to figure out a patron deity. This made me laugh so hard. I tried to suggest this and was told no they knew in their hearts that the god was answering their prayers or visiting in dreams because they were the actual child of the god. Think they have watched the movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief too much.
Conclusion: The younger generations are seriously over influenced by TV. I don't remember ever thinking things from movies or shows were 100% accurate even if I thought it had some truth to it. I remember putting common sense to it and then doing some research on what I wasn't understanding. Like I remember thinking the movie The Craft had some truth in it, but that magick worked no where like in the movie. I'm seriously thinking teens aren't being taught who to think correctly and the net is only making it worse for teens who seriously want to learn witchcraft.
Okay, I'm done with my rant of the decline of teens.
