I will always support “fluffy” and “soft” newbie witches who got into witchcraft because of Harry Potter, or The Craft, or fuck, even Sabrina The Teenage Witch, because everyone starts somewhere. If pop culture is what brought them to us then I am glad, because that means more people to this community who will get to learn and grow and expand on this journey.
It’s our job as “experienced” witches to help guide them and support and encourage their exploration of the craft. Not to ridicule or patronize them for how they personally experience or work with magic, but to help them when they need it. But remember, a lot of the path has to do with ones own personal exploration and discovery ~
