my problem with a lot of this stuff is how exploitable it is by unscrupulous people, and how it can train people to stop critically examining things.

rituals and spirituality can be great for mental health, but it makes me so incredibly sad to see people who follow some shitty scam artist and believe what they're doing will magically fix things for them.
