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.

TIL it used to mean a joint

This looks like it was inspired by '50s advertisement, it doesn't appear real. However, muggle was an existing term that basically meant "normie" when JKR appropriated it.

That's correct - I have leftovers in the fridge older than this image. It just seemed like a funny idea.
