r207tm74711	Carly B. Sherman	Which is Witch? Authenticity, Aesthetic, and Pop Culture Representation in the Witchcraft Community	2023		.txt	text/plain	386	9	27	Only a few decades removed from the Satanic Panic, the moral uproar of the 1980s and onward that cast suspicion on a variety of occult practices and non-Christian spiritual practices, the trendiness of witchcraft is surprising, existing as it does alongside a real marginalized religious and/or lifestyle practice that is still stigmatized and discriminated against in many places. Ultimately, I argue that the mainstreamers are better positioned to take advantage of opportunities to generate emotional energy in interactions given the fresh enthusiasm coming into the community, but in this they are equally exposed and vulnerable to situations that drain and dilute the emotional energy available.	cache/r207tm74711.txt	txt/r207tm74711.txt
