On Reddit, witches are planning to pull tarot cards to “predict their futures,” prepping for long walks under the night sky and “ditching old habits that no longer suit them.”

Things are a little more intense over on TikTok, however. The witches there are preparing for an “energy shift” that may or may not spell the end of the world — emphasis, of course, on “spell.”
