> Wouldn't people who believe in this stuff demand punishment for the publication and the witches

Many of the witches who believe in this stuff also believe that what you put out into the world will come back to you, typically with a multiplier.

Presumably, some of the Christians who believe in this stuff also believe "Judge not, that ye be not judged" and that ultimately God alone must and will mete out punishment with the wisdom of divine omniscience.

None of this stopped people who claim to be witches from taking money to curse a guy, and in my experience, people who claim to be Christians love judging others and their zeal for punishment often seems fetishistic
