Do Witches Put Kids in Pots? Hansel and Gretel, Explained | Astrology Ride of the Day

A witch doesn't fit in one box, Lindy says — kitchen witch, herbal witch, whatever fits, "I am a witch, period." Male practitioners get the same title too — warlock is just a TV invention. Then comes the question everyone's been waiting for: does Hansel and Gretel hold up? Lindy's answer flips the story on its head — and from there she breaks down what people actually get wrong about curses, why doubt is the one crack negative energy needs to get in, and why nobody's hiding their face walking into her shop. Know thyself. Balance your energy.

Takeaways

1. Lindy doesn't limit herself to one category — kitchen witch, herbal witch, or otherwise. "I am a witch, period."
2. Male practitioners are also called witches — "warlock" is a term that comes from television, not tradition.
3. Revisiting Hansel and Gretel: Lindy argues the children's own actions set the story's events in motion, giving the old fairy tale a moral she says gets missed.
4. Real curses are rare — they take significant time, sustained effort, and money. Most people who think they're cursed likely aren't.
5. Even skeptics aren't immune — a small crack of doubt is enough to let negative energy in, she says, "like water looking for a crack."
6. Customers walk into the Witch Depot openly — no hoodies, no hiding — which Lindy says speaks to how normalized the shop feels in her community.
