Some people always get super salty when they come asking for help with a “ghost haunting” and the first thing i ask them is “have you checked your living space for carbon monoxide”.

Like maybe you thought coming to a witch you’d get some neat spell or some shit, but a big part of being a (good) witch is also looking at what is in front of you and ruling out some basic things first, and a lot of the things people describe to me when it comes to ghost hauntings also sound a helluva lot like carbon monoxide poisoning. So like sorry for giving a shit over whether or not you’re actually about to die or not I guess *shrug emoji*

Like I know we joke about my house being haunted (and maybe it is) but when the lights flicker in my house I don’t do a cleansing spell, I call an electrician. You gotta do the physical world things first before you jump to the metaphysical. That’s just how it is.

SO the founders themselves were not scientologists, and one of them (Donna Powell) has answered this personally on a reddit q&a

basically neopets was getting popular and they gained some investors. as a small company and a website made by two people at first they were like.. hell yeah.

the website itself never had any direct links or information on scientology, because when the investores suggested it they were like UHHH. NO? because they didnt even realize the investors had been scientologists.

the company itself, however, was structured like a scientology org. it wasnt really noticable other than odd tests and obscure celebs coming around? but yeah donna and adam were always strict on religion and politics NEVER being on neopets so it took some uncomfortable discussions for them to get out of that

thank you SO much
