Videos shared with the TikTok community and accompanied with #WitchTok have obtained more than 23billion views.
Witchtok gained popularity back in April 2021, as an author with the Financial Times said the hashtag surpassed #Biden by more than 2billion views.
And now TikTok “witches” are sharing spells online and promoting their supposed magic across the internet.
Tiktok user Thee Muses recently took to the app to share a video with the text reading: “Aunties… my bully got hit by a car.”
The footage was accompanied by OMC’s How Bizarre song and the TikTok post was captioned: “Strange how stuff like that happens. #theemuses #auntiesoftiktok #lgbt #witchtok.”
The video, which appears in one of the top viewed Witchtok videos, has obtained 2.8million likes.

Another TikTok user, pheobemcegan, shared a video of herself using “energy work” to make the smoke in front of her move in a certain way.
Another user of the app commented on the video and said Pheobemcegan was using “TELEKINESIS / PSYCHOKINESIS which supposed ability to move objects at a distance by mental power or other nonphysical means.”
However, pheobemcegan responded by explaining the “energy work” is a “similar concept” to what the other Tiktoker was describing.
‘NATURAL PROGRESSION’
TikTioker Kiley Mann told USA Today that seeing WitchTok on the video-sharing app is “not very shocking.”
“It just feels like a natural progression of what people have been really yearning for, which is accessible information around these esoteric topics that at any other point in history, before the internet, were super guarded and super hard to access,” Mann explained.
Adam Wethington, a 33-year-old tarot reader, told the news outlet that Witchtok is a “fabulous TikTok community of spiritualists… from all different walks of life.”
He continued: “WitchTok content is so relevant right now because we learned last year we can’t control (things).
“All you can control is what you do, all you can control is what you think is truth in the world.
“We’re in this great spiritual renaissance of enlightenment… Many of us are looking inward.”
MOON’S ENERGY
Back in 2020, “TikTok witches” cast a spell on the moon that could bring bad luck for all life forms dependent on the moon’s energy.
The Witches Moon Hex are spells that TikTok witches are trying to cast toward the moon.
Twitter user Jupiter wrote that a hex had been put on the moon by baby witches, which could be bad luck to those who rely on the moon’s natural power.
Jupiter went on to say that the group of four “newbie” witches went on to hex fairies, the planet, and the moon.
