I came in here hoping to find out what the fuck this hexing the moon thing that all the fat twitter witches like Jude are sperging out about and I'm disappointed to find nothing. May have to go digging later.

So basically some baby witches from tiktok decided to hex the moon and the Fae and a bunch of people are freaking out. It's all really stupid.

Probably something along the lines of "Don't stand too close to that lunatic, because the lightning bolts are gonna start flying aaaaany second now."
Even the most cursory knowledge of myth should tell these folks that the Greek gods were often petty, small-minded, squabbling, and violent. Ares once threw a bitchfit when a war didn't go his way. Artemis turned a peeping Tom into a deer and had him torn apart by her hunting hounds. Persephone and Hades were a mostly faithful couple, true (once you got over the whole abduction thing), but they also presided over a realm of torment and misery.
In a way, the ancient Greek view of the cosmos was quite bleak: even great heroes and kings were condemned to be lost shades in Hades' domain, and attracting the attention of the gods usually ended poorly for mortals. The luckiest ones were merely turned into animals or constellations. Ganymede ended up as Zeus's cupbearer, sure, but do you think he had a choice in the matter?
Where in the name of Scylla and Charybdis did they get this cutesy idea of how the Greek gods--oh hi, Percy Jackson and Disney's Hercules!

Greek gods were not beyond human comprehension, in fact they we're stupidly human in their behavior, childlish, even.
The "you can't understand the gooods!" Is a judeo-christian concept, obviously used here by idiots who can't research their own pseudo-religion.
And if the greek gods were real they would have turned these "witches" into new species of smelly animals already

"Artemis isn't a terf"
"The gods are beyond human comprehension."
Ok, then I herby declare Artemis is a TERF and she's the radicalist feminist to ever exclude transwomen.
My evidence is thus:
1. She literally turned a guy into a woman as a punishment
2. Turns another dude into a deer and feeds him to his own dogs because he tried to sneak into the women's bathing area
Emoji spell to Artemis

Artemis supports ciswomen-only bathrooms and sports. Sorry, it's canon, can't take it back, she told me so herself. #witch #diemad
In all seriousness, some of these "witches" are so freaking milquetoast. It would take balls to stand up for the actual old ways that gods were worshiped. Go buy a cow, cut its throat, pull out its entrails and get your haruspex on, bitch!
(Disclaimer: Yes, I know the haruspices were ancient Roman. Plz no bully.)

If these witches weren't all BPD-ridden LARPers, I'd say this sounds like one big ARG.

What Rodent said is about it. Some people hexed the moon on tictoc. It spread outside on this twitter thread and went around as a minor meme (with some news outfits covering it as an interest piece, even reaching the npr.) Essentially everything covering it starts with the tweet, and tictoc is now covered in "response" videos preventing any low-effort research into any original videos. The news sources didn't find any origin and it kinda looks like the twitter post made the story up.

Oh nice, much appreciated for the link! I think my favorite part of the whole mess is this bit:
DONT MAKE FUN OF US FOR FREAKING OUT OVER LARPING, ITLL MAKE YE GODS ANGRY, also let me just tack on BLM because literal gods wouldn't mind us actually making this about black people tho.
Also, since it's worth cross posting, here's some fun highlights from the Jude Valentine thread about this whole mess of a situation. The fun starts here, but below are a few highlights.
In which Jude says 'please dont get all your witch knowledge from tiktok, you should akshooally watch The Craft instead because that's totally an instructional film'. Also where she suggests that white people don't know anything about... Greek (WHITE PEOPLE) gods and the (VERY WHITE) concept fo the fae, I guess?
Stay in your lane Mx. Valentin.

To be fair, the vindictive, old testament style gods probably appeal to them because they reflect their own selective empathy. That explains why they can be all about love and peace one moment and punishment and torture the next. Every man who isn't an asexual doormat reminds them of their abusive ex boyfriends, so they use their pseudoreligion to back up them taking out their anger on the concept of men in general. They only care about earthly, materialistic punishments and rewards, and that's where their philosophy begins and ends.
They probably fantasize about Artemis bringing down divine judgement upon any man who looks at them for a split second.
The idea of the "divine feminine" allows them to treat their own image with the same sanctity as Catholics venerate Mary, and this reflects in the fact that they hate it when women are sexualized.
Religion's entire purpose is to encourage their worshipers to become better people in the name of a higher power. All these people do, though, is exalt their own ego. It's a twisted mockery of religion spawned from decadence and complacency. And there's even a book set in a cyberpunk universe like that. These people are proof that American style Protestantism is always one step away from mutating into nonsense.
It shows they're so starved of spirituality that they need to splatter a thin paint of syncretic mumbo jumbo on top of the exact same secular humanist drivel that is repeated ad nauseam on TV. And of course, they only take the fun parts of what they're copying from.

One of the probable reasons why they choose to worship Greek Gods stems from the fact that female gods are almost as important as male ones, and get cool roles such as goddess of knowledge, war, vengeance... as opposed so other religions, where femininity is pretty much absent, or associated as less empowering themes, such as motherhood (see Mary).
Greek Mythology is also pretty "open-minded" in their eyes compared to other religions. We get a bisexual god (Apollo), a non-gender conforming one (Hermaphroditus), and even some gay teasing (I've seen my fair share of Tumblrinas shipping Achilles and Patroclus).
Also, spechulness, and "I'm better than those normies Christians and their problematic holy book !".
That's pretty representative of their hypocrisy. They have to screech on everything that isn't woke enough, but a religion filled with rape, incest and pedophilia ? Nah, that's good, I love my special divine beans anyways !

Also, Demeter and Dyonisus, why ? They're the most chill of the bunch. And no Athena in the tags ? You know, the one from Medusa myth, where she turned a woman into a monster for having the audacity of being raped in her temple ? Get your facts straight.

The biggest reason for why they all "believe" in the Greek Gods is that Greek mythology is extremely easy to get into, at least compared to other mythologies. There's a lot of research put into it and pretty much all the myths that have survived are available in English. And if that's too hard there's a ton of books literally made for children about it.

I know I sound like a broken record at this point, but the Studio Ghibli-inspired tumblerinas and "witches" who make posts about cleaning are actually closer to the original spirit of what "magic" is supposed to be than what this post describes.
All of the above is basically just self-soothing, mindfulness, and behavioral changes which are proven to help mental health. If it takes wrapping it up in a "durr it's magic" bow to get these people to fix their lives, then that's what it takes.
