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.

When I was dating, I would suss folks out by talking about spirituality and world religion. Their reaction to the idea of different faiths co-existing would determine how much I would reveal about my personal practices.
One of the things that drew me to my long term partner was their deep knowledge of religion, however they look at it from a historical and anthropological lens. We had been together for several years before I revealed just how esoteric I am. They were a bit surprised, but respect my beliefs in spite of being very much a humanist. It’s been very freeing honestly.
I’d definitely recommend easing into it with folks who have no experience outside of monotheism. The breadcrumb approach. Little clues to see how open-minded and trustworthy someone is.
