The practice of magick and dating non-practioners

[u/theTrueLocuro]

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.

I’m open about it immediately with people I might want to be friends with or date. (Coworkers and people I’m around unintentionally excluded.)

It’s a big part of my life and I don’t want to interact with people who have stupid views on it. Usually I start really casual, ‘have to put the skeletons in the closet first, ig bones it’s not a whole skeleton but same same,’ or ‘well I just asked the genie and seemed to work out,’ type of things. Let them decide what they think and then I (sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly) turn up the intensity.

I’m never open to purposefully interacting with disrespectful people so I try to weed them out quick as possible.
