I think it's also true for those people who lose the ability to learn and understand new things as they age (which happens a lot but not to everyone). In the everchanging world those people find themselves longing for stability and the good old times that they understand. Change becomes confusing and scary.

Also: Some people keep their positions that used to be progressive and find themselves on the conservative side much later. Example: If you are ok mixed race marriage, that used to be a progressive talking point and now is common sense. Gay marriages weren't discussed in the slightest back than. If you don't move, you find yourself on the edge of the Overton window one day.

Be cool to each other. We'll welcome most occult themes, it's okay if you stray from witchcraft a bit.

No advertising. No trolling. No hate. Violaters will be removed unceremoniously.

We love art credits when possible.
