I’ve encountered this recently too!
Which is difficult when your magickal social circle gets larger. The larger the circle, the better the chances of finding people who will have conflict with each other.
I feel that it’s toxic to try to micromanage your friends, telling them who they can and can’t hang out with for petty reasons or without letting them decide for themselves.
This can be straightforward as in “I don’t like X so you shouldn’t either!”
But it can also be a little more sneaky, by telling lies about someone behind their backs.
