The article already covers most of points, so rereading it will help.
1.The "Moon", is actually not referring to the planetary mass in particular, but a lunar deity(e.g. Chandra/Artemis/Hecate)/egregore/entity(Moon goddess) associated with the energy of the Moon.
Lunar qualities are Yin, Water and Darkness and are contrasted with Yang,Fire and Light of the Sun.
2. The Moon(as both planet and deity) has a psychic influence with tides having an etheric plane counterparent: the forces of the Moon are close to Earth. Its a great cosmic power in the sense of "magic", the lunar cycles and associated 'lunar energy' of moonlight are reflected in myth as dual to the Sun.
3.Zoomers influenced by Wicca and neo-pagan movement don't understand the forces they mess with, usually thinking in New Age mindframe where humans live in some fuzzy, harmless hippie camp planet where they can't do nothing wrong.
4.They are assumed the same group who tried to "hex the fae", a
species of etheric plane who operated with magic directly and doesn't operate within framework of human morality.
Both ideas are really bad as outlined in the article and the process itself has no difference from hexing an incorporeal spirit.
5.Interesting that lots of media catched on this, as if there some power behind these "beginner witches"(such stupid ideas don't come from thin air) and they want it public that they challenge the cosmic powers, the "normally atheist and secular" media somehow latched on this "twitter rumor" wholly embracing the "witchcraft is real and valid" theme despite "i fucking love science" promoted by same media.
