- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Despite a near decade-long ban on the sale of “metaphysical services,” the $6 billion arts and crafts e-commerce platform hosts thousands of spells promising everything from untold wealth to cures for chronic depression - modern day snake oil sold as “entertainment.”

Don’t hate the Player, hate the game.
There will always be a new snake oil salesman😂
dang people printing money out of thin air lol
This is wild. I’m more interested in the buyers
I hate that some people ignorantly subscribe to practices like this not realizing that both parties will have to pay the piper one day 👁️
Si-jill
Christ is King
Christ is myth.
There many guru's like Jesus that have been on earth to help souls back to God, so he is not the only king :)
NO DIFFERENT THAN PRAYER 😂 Jesus freaks!
Excuse me , learn some respect
@@Winner01562 what's the difference?
🫡💎📈
I break the power of all the evil curses on that page.
😆 🤣
This should be against Etsy rules (it already is on eBay). They should only be allowed to sell something tangable.
Capitalism is the name of the game. I hate you break it to you...
People have wasted money on dumber things.
These are more of psychological crutches for those who wanna indulge in the behavior these are marketed for. It's not "gambling addiction", it's the "lucky charm" doing its thing. It's not "insomnia", but "dreamcatcher". Not "envy of others", but "magical item that wards off evil". Psychology can have measurable effects, and this we know. Any experimentation that attempts to measure the effect of the item in objective terms, is gonna find it inconclusive. It's the subjective effect it has that's important. It can be as simple as enabling confidence in someone to act different. Just like you can't observe a black hole directly, relying on its effects on the surrounding bodies instead. Can't exactly ignore the ox skull in the room.
well said 🔥🔥🔥
I guess when you run something like ETSY the only way to make it profitable is to allow scams? I have some vintage dirt at my house that I might put up for sale.
Our whole Economy runs on scams, where you been?
Stay away from the demonic.
I listen to Exorcist channels that talk about priests work experiences helping victims of hauntings, demonic possession etc. I believe these things exist, the podcast constantly warns about dabbing into the occult and Etsy is a place that gets people in trouble. And as a native american talking about the dogman explained, you burn sage you cleanse a place But also invite energies to take it's place. It could be bad energy.
So your saying there's a chance it could be good energy that comes in and takes it's place? I'm sold. Thanks! 🤩
You're supposed to burn sweetgrass after you burn sage, to invite benevolent energies into the space.
In times of recession people look to some sort spiritual belief.
I will start selling prayers it seems
I mean, if you can actually sell a power spell in a dimension that doesn't even exist? At that point you can only blame the buyer.
Shame on Etsy 😡
Repent and be Saved. Jesus Christ is coming soon. Do you know Him? He loves you. You wouldn't jump out of a plane without a parachute, don't leave this life without the Savior ❤
Amen❤
Even in Business Insider, there you are like a door-to-door salesman. Lmao 😅
Perhaps you should worry about yourself.
@@alane3985 Not much time left Alan. If people really knew Jesus and how deeply He loves them, they would drop everything and run straight into His arms:) God bless you brother!
@@Cucumberflavoredmustard I do actually. There is a scripture that says: I pray that I am found worthy to be saved. Because I am not perfect either, I'm just like everyone else. A sinner who is saved by Jesus work on the Cross and looking for that day I am caught up into glory. For followers of Christ, we know He is our Rescuer. Ephesians 1:7 states, “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.”
FYI..... all these new forbe videos are AI.....
100K is big money? what a joke
Jesus christ is the lord and saviour
Thanks
This is bad. I pray that all who sell things like this repent and finds Jesus.
It is one thing to cast a spell on a child it is another thing to enable and spread it. Matthew 18:6 “It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”
Way I see it - Christ has a soft spot for kids and they really make him smile, lots of great examples in Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. The Word is truth Etsy is wrong.
And thank you Forbes for spotlighting this topic. Good job. Well done.
Since your top comment I hope people read this, my idiot relatives and neighbors played with a ouijah and they caused the window curtains to fall (asking for proof the board was working) and also what happened is a kids bed rattled a sleeping kid awake causing her to come out of her room crying.
You churchies make me laugh.
What ? 🙈
💚
Yes, let's all beg and cry like helpless little toddlers to our invisible friend in the sky, wearing our cross-shaped protection talismans and clutching our magic books called "the bible" instead, because that makes SOOO much more sense! 😂😂😂😂
And the "g" in "sigils" is soft like a "j".
Ah yes, metaphysics…. Fools buying minerals and twigs to feel better
Yes, because praying to your invisible friend in the sky, wearing your cross-shaped protection talismans and clutching your magic books called "the bible" instead, makes SOOO much more sense! 😂😂😂
@@urbanfrog8466 I did not see this guy state that he was a Christian.
yeooo
Drug money washing

Stupid people have money too
