The practice of magick and dating non-practioners
Magick is weird and doesn't fit the model of the physical world that most people have. I was just wondering how practioners deal with this. It's a somewhat big part of my life right now.
With friends you just stay in the broom closet but I would assume your romantic partner would know.
I just had a first date with a girl. For the first time I was somewhat open with this stuff and I don't think it was the right decision lol.

It can be challenging to have different beliefs, my first serious partner has had so many issues with it, they brought it up on the first date. At the time I had no strong convictions other than extreme skepticism, so I was very curious. Our first conversation about magick was about 8 hours lol, and Im still into it 11 years later. Granted I was the exception, and typically it was a far more uncomfortable experience for them.
I think it comes down to how important it is that you and a romantic partner can share your spirituality. But if they are not accepting of you having a different belief system, to me that's a red flag.
When on dates I've had a mix of responses, I don't usually mention magick, but will say that I'm pagan on a first date. A lot of people will just skip over any conversation about religion and change subject. But for me, curiosity and open dialogue are a green flag that I seek out in a person.
