00:00Picture this. It's the week of your wedding. You're staring down a rainy forecast, but that's not what you envisioned
00:05for your perfect day.
00:06Where do you turn? How about a witch who can cast a weather spell for you?
00:09That's what a lot of brides have taken to you in the last year or so.
00:11The average wedding cost has reached $36,000, according to Zola.
00:15For a spell ranging from $3 to $30, that's a drop in the bucket for most brides' budgets.
00:19I spent $16 on my Etsy witch, I believe, and I think it was worth every penny.
00:24I can't control the weather, but I can hire an Etsy witch, and that makes me feel like I've done
00:29everything I possibly can do to help the weather be on my side.
00:34And it's really not that different than carrying, like, a lucky penny or knocking on wood or making a wish
00:39at 11-11 or any other sort of superstition.
00:42Do I think an Etsy witch can literally control the weather? No.
00:45But planning a wedding is full of things you can't control, so hiring an Etsy witch just felt like one
00:50more thing that I could do to try to control the uncontrollable.
00:53If you do a quick search on TikTok for Etsy witch, you'll be met with hundreds of videos of brides
00:57talking about how the Etsy witch worked and they got no rain on their wedding day.
01:00Hank Mason, co-founder of Crystal Conjure Magic, said he's casting 100 weather spells a week, most for wedding days.
01:07Kami Donahair got married in February in Chicago.
01:09At $14, the spell was the cheapest thing she paid for for her $100,000 wedding.
01:14When the day arrived, it was a balmy 55 degrees.
01:17Most brides know the spell might not actually work, but for peace of mind, it's priceless.
01:21The value of hiring an Etsy witch isn't in the spell itself, the values and the peace of mind it
01:27can give you.
