Etsy cracks down on spell-casting after a decade of turning a blind eye

Etsy has finally started enforcing its 2015 ban on metaphysical services, including spell-casting and hexes, after a long period of ignoring sellers who built successful businesses around these controversial offerings. The shift follows a satirical Jezebel article that drew significant backlash when it appeared just before a real-life assassination, sparking fears of Etsy being linked to real-world harm. This move highlights the platform's effort to distance itself from any association with dangerous practices, signaling a more stringent approach to maintaining safety and credibility.
