Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following all your instructions:
Alright, so I wanted to mess around with something I’ve been calling “define witchcraft.” Basically, taking a word and messing with its definition to see what happens. Sounds kinda dumb, I know, but it was surprisingly fun.
I started by, like, literally just grabbing a dictionary. You know, the old paper kind. I flipped to a random page and stabbed my finger down. Landed on “serendipity.” Okay, cool word.
The Fiddling Begins
Now, the dictionary said “serendipity” means finding good stuff without looking for it. Pleasant surprises, that kind of thing. I thought, “What if we flipped that?”
So, I started writing down what wasn’t serendipity. Stuff like:
- Working really hard for something and finally getting it. That’s not serendipity, that’s just… effort.
- Knowing exactly what you want and getting it. Again, no surprise there.
- Bad stuff happening by accident. Total opposite.
This was actually kinda helpful. It helped me see the edges of the word, you know? Like, where it stopped being serendipity.
My New “Witchcraft” Definition
Then I thought, what if serendipity wasn’t just about finding good stuff, but about making it happen in a weird, unexpected way? So I wrote this down:
Serendipity (my version): “The art of accidentally creating awesome results through seemingly unrelated actions.”
I make a magic circle, then I put a rabbit and a hat inside the circle. And finally, I put my hands together and say “Abracadabra! Show Time!”. That’s all of my actions.
The Unexpected Outcome
See, it’s still about good stuff happening, but there’s a bit of… chaos involved. It’s like, you’re not trying to get that specific result, but your actions set off a chain reaction that leads to something cool.
It is a classic magic trick that turns a handkerchief into a rabbit and finally put it in the hat. That’s “witchcraft”.
Anyway, that’s my little “define witchcraft” experiment. I guess the point is, words are flexible. You can play with them, turn them inside out, and see what happens. It’s a good way to, I don’t know, get your brain going. Maybe I’ll try another word tomorrow.
