“To boost the potential of this spell, I have cast an Activation and Triple Charge spells. This spell work is worth $20.00 alone.”

So, is there some sort of Spell Activation Committee that sets the value of magickal fuckery? And now I have to wonder what you’d get for $30.

“…This is a paranormal item that has been tested as active and I cannot be held accountable or responsible for its behavior”
What kind of ‘behavior’ are we talking about here–a sordid night on the town? Performing “magick” without a license–what? File under “not remotely handmade”–the ring is yet another tourist trinket, from India.

Horseshit and then some. I think it should also be logged under “not remotely hand made.” Is Etsy actually allowing re-selling of cheap imported jewelry with the “handmade” factor being that it’s imbued with powerful magickal energy? Seriously????

Where’s my barf bag… it’s working already and I didn’t even buy it.

I’m guessing wearing this would cause my finger to turn green, thus destroying any appetite I have.
I once had a roommate (a 20-something, college educated woman) who left food offerings out for the fairies. I’d find little bits of rotting food and flowers scattered all over the house. This is the kind of shit she’d buy.

“Law requirement states that Readings, Spells and paranormal objects are for sole entertainment purposes only. I cannot be held responsible for any related behavior that may occur.

By purchasing this magickal you are doing so at your own risk, and agreeing that I am not liable for any occurrences resulting from this powerful spirit.”

1. ‘related behavior that may occur’ – as in you’ll wonder what you were thinking
2. Is there a secret storque article on bad grammar we don’t know…

when did etsy start allowing infomercials from fucktards hocking “magickal” ugly jewelry?

“Wear this ring and when you feel like temptation is about to take over, tell yourself, “I will not eat or drink this (say out loud whatever it is). I love my body and I want what is best for it. Mote it be.” The craving will stop. If the craving doesn’t go away, then say it again and drink one cup of water.”

I’m a bit concerned about how the ring would “behave” from misusue or abuse.
Does this mean if you wear the ring while raiding the fridge after midnight, the ring will change into a little green demon and attack you?

Does Jillian Michaels know about this? If she does I’m going to kick her ass for running me through these damn workouts!

(weight loss can’t have anything to do with saying “I’m not going to eat this” and then drinking water will it? Seems like that is a pretty common weight loss staple)

my favorite part is the disclaimers:

Interesting tidbit from her profile: “If there is a spirit that interests you, and you don’t see it on the list above…it doesn’t mean I can’t help you. However, I am not Demon Master…I’ll leave that to other sellers.”

Gee I’m sure glad to know she isn’t a Demon Master. But I think enslaving spirits and binding them to pieces of cheap jewelry might be a tad demonic.

If she actually thinks she’s doing this stuff, and not just spinning a tale, I’d hate to experience the vibes…
