Gen Z didn't get into witchcraft. Dating apps just made psychics look reliable.

64% of Gen Z has tried manifestation, psychics or other mystical dating tactics

A DatingNews survey of 1,013 Americans aged 18 to 60 found 64 percent of Gen Z and 51 percent of millennials have tried manifestation, psychics, tarot or love spells, versus 25 percent of Gen X and 12 percent of boomers. Relationship coach Amy Chan and psychologist Sabrina Romanoff attribute the trend to uncertainty about dating and the future, plus constant TikTok and Instagram exposure. Tarot readings run up to $162 and Etsy love spells as little as $2. Both experts say the practices help only when used as a confidence springboard rather than a substitute for action.
