Have you ever talked to someone and was making it obvious that you thought something was bullshit? I had this interaction with a Wiccan. I was taking care of a three-year-old who started having bad dreams and her mother wasn't sure how to help her. A man came into my work with his four-year-old son and they picked a anti nightmare Rock from our collection of minerals. The rocks are in our Pagan section but really they are polished and pretty. Whatever helps the little boy sleep I think is worth it. So I ran in and was going to pick one of these rocks hopefully for free since it was for a little girl. Suddenly my Wiccan coworker said that there isn't a rock for nightmares but I should bless a dreamcatcher. I really just wanted to tell her it doesn't fucking matter. They're just rocks. But I kept my lips shut and said oh thank you and left. I apologized to the mother for the useless detour.

It was your choice. Sometimes it is best not to stir things up.

What actually matters is what the people believe in. If someone thinks a rock will help, then it will, since it's us doing anything anyway.

Actually, a crystal can be very effective in helping get someone to sleep. Put it in a sock and give them a good hard smack in the head with it.

So many times. I kind of like Wiccans: they're generally pretty cool people, and all the crystals and stuff are pretty - but when they start going on about how Wicca is "ancient wisdom" I'm absolutely unable to stop myself pointing out that Gerald Gardner invented it in the 1940s.

Exactly. I don’t know how many times, when I was a Pagan/witch, that I pointed out the difference. And that Wiccans, with their strict hierarchy, were the xtian heathens. ?
