Witches plan multiple mass hexes of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh

[phands]

This will have exactly zero effect, like praying, but Im sure some xtians will be up in arms...

The United States Senate was never really interested in holding Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh accountable after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and harassment. The witches of America are.


Catland Books, an occult bookshop and community space in Brooklyn, has organized not one but two mass hexes on Kavanaugh. According to an Eventbrite page for the hex, the organizers say they plan to target the newly appointed justice as well as "all rapists and the patriarchy which emboldens, rewards and protects them.


"We will be embracing witchcraft's true roots as the magik of the poor, the downtrodden and disenfranchised and it's[sic] history as often the only weapon, the only means of exacting justice available to those of us who have been wronged by men just like him," the organizers wrote.

Still, more effective than the Democrats.

 

[Cheerful Charlie]

Maybe they could get some henbane potion into Trump's cheeseburger. Might be more effective.

 

[Keith&Co.]

This is how the stricture not to let poisoners live became 'not suffer a witch to live' in James' translation.

Not quite zero effect, phands. As long as a stupidstitious person knows there are people trying to put curses on them, they will be cursed. Their own subconscious minds will make it happen through the power of suggestion and negativity bias.

You know it's having an effect when right wingers start sounding the alarm to each other that they're being targeted by supernatural forces. Here's an example of the NRA doing exactly that. Either the NRA is itself stupidstitious and genuinely afraid or they just know that their fans will obediently respond with more fear and hatred for their opposition.

Of course Breitbart can be relied upon to respond as programmed as well:

And the usual fear frenzy that has always been one of the many underlying streams of fear and demonization.

"Stupidstitious" I like that.

Oh my... It looks like politics have turned some wiccans to the dark side.

From everything I have heard from the wiccan's self description is that they never cast bad spells to harm anyone, only spells to help people and make them better persons. My impression from their previous press releases would have me believe that they would be casting spells to change Kavanaugh and the Republicans into embracing Democrat principles.

 

[RavenSky]

This article was posted today. Are they trolling Amy Kremer, who made this accusation on AMJoy on Sunday morning; or did they actually make this announcement before Sunday and Kremer was having the expected conservative meltdown about it?

Sometimes-practicing-witch to the rescue.

There are no doubt plenty of witches who do only work "with the right hand", but that does not describe all Wiccans, let alone all witches. I don't cast hexes around, as I think they are meaningless expressions of emotion personally, but in working other magic I do not hold myself to strict doctrines of white and black magic. The Rede, which is the closest thing to a moral doctrine in Wicca, is "Do as thou wilt, an it harm none", and we would all agree that if your ultimate affect on the world is a dark or negative one, that is not a good thing. You're as much a danger to yourself as anyone else, at that point.

But there is a lot of grey area when it comes to defining harm, and the Rede is more like a guideline in any case. If a hex were to successfully bind or prevent the nomination of Kavanaugh, not every Wiccan would agree that this is causing more "harm" than good; the number of people who are potentially to be hurt by the man's career has to also be placed on the scale of moral calculus here. I note that there isn't a huge gap between hexing and, say, voting, at least from a magical perspective. In Wicca, it is the intention symbolized by the act, not the act itself, which acts on the universe. Hence why new rituals and spells are constantly invented, and why political life is always going to force people into the grey to some extent. All intentions become actions, and all actions have both good and bad consequences.

not all wiccans self identify as witches.
And not all witches are practicing Wiccans.

 

[GenesisNemesis]

Christians- be afraid. Be very afraid!

 

[Opoponax]

Is there a minor curse/hex that gives him a relentless case of itchy asshole? One that's just deep enough so that he can't ever scratch it?

That's a winner.

 

[Keith&Co.]

Or just an inability to lie, that'd be great.
Make it contagious?

Might be an interesting legal qyestion, then, if the court votes 6-3 against abortion, say, but the written decision admits it wasn't on the legal merits....

Catholic Exorcist To Hold Special Mass To Protect Brett Kavanaugh Against Curses From “Evil” Brooklyn Witches

Wow..what a crock of crap....now the xtians will claim victory over the witches because, of course, nothing will happen....

From the right wing National Catholic Register:

Catholics and exorcists are responding to the news that a curse on the newest U.S. Supreme Court Justice is planned for Saturday Oct. 20 at Catland Books, a “metaphysical boutique and occult bookshop” in Brooklyn, New York. He will be the main focus, at the “Ritual to Hex Brett Kavanaugh” but others will also be targeted. For three hours, starting at 7 p.m., “all rapists and the patriarchy which emboldens, rewards and protects them” will be cursed.​

As a response to the event, Father Gary Thomas, the exorcist for the Diocese of San Jose, California, is offering Mass for Kavanaugh on Thursday and Saturday​

Damn, now I have to pay a visit to my tarot card reader to find out if this battle will be won by the priests or the witches.

On the other hand, maybe Hollywood would be interested in this as the basis for a screenplay.

Better yet, chronic diarrhea. He would have to wear diapers to the golf course.

If I had a super power or a hex, I'd just want to compel Trump to fart (or "trump!") loudly, at my command. It would have to be a fart that the microphone would pick up. Then, every single time he said something ultra-Trumpy (i.e, repulsive, stupid, deceitful, hate-filled) (i.e., about every other sentence), I'd have him produce a thunderous baritone fart.
Of course, this is Trumpistan we're talkin' about. With my luck, the idolaters would, after a time, seize on this as a wondrous punctuation, a 'gift'. They'd come to expect it, and they'd cheer it. Yes, the seats directly behind Trump would be hard to fill, but they'd eventually fill them with screeching oldsters who've lost their olfactory smarts. Trump would claim that his inexhaustible capacity to fart was unmatched by any other President except Washington (see Vidal's Burr for more on that.) On the positive side, Colbert, Kimmel, Fallon, and O'Brien would have their monologues written for them, and all of us in the Criminal Deep State would have unlimited larfs.
