TikTok's latest villain (or hero)? A spell-casting Etsy seller
Briefly

A woman paid an Etsy witch for a love spell, but the witch instead communicated with the targeted man, leading to public outrage on social media. The incident, which was shared on TikTok, highlights the ethical complexities surrounding the purchase of love spells. Although many users expressed anger towards the witch for violating trust, others supported her actions. Love spells have become a significant business on platforms like Etsy and TikTok, with numerous listings and varied prices, although their authenticity remains unverified.
"Guys the Etsy witch told on me," @andtheg4gis cried in a TikTok posted on Monday. "I said the guy's name, his birthday and stuff, and she literally DM'd him on Instagram and exposed me."
Many in the comments are calling for the TikTok user to drop the name of the Etsy seller, just so they know who to avoid. Some are calling for her to report the witch for violating her trust.
The ethical considerations of love spells, if you believe they exist, are complex. "I mean that sucks but that's also what you get for trying to use a love spell on someone," wrote another.
Love spells are a thriving cottage industry on TikTok and Etsy. A quick search found over 1000 results of love spells for sale, starting from as little as $0.78, up to $5000+.
