A woman referred to as a ‘witch’ who allegedly cast a curse on Charlie Kirk shortly before his tragic shooting has come forward with an unusual revelation.
The incident occurred as the conservative activist, aged 31, was addressing a crowd at Utah Valley University and was shot in the neck from a distance of around 120 meters. Despite being rushed to a nearby hospital, Kirk succumbed to his injuries, leading to the arrest of Tyler Robinson, 22, in connection with the shooting.
Several days before the fatal event, a publication called Jezebel released an article discussing the practice of cursing individuals, specifically focusing on Kirk. The piece highlighted the involvement of various ‘witches’ who offered hexes for sale on Etsy, including spells named ‘MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM’ and ‘POWERFUL HEX SPELL’.
One of the self-proclaimed witches, known as Priestess Lilin, reportedly shared a video depicting Kirk in flames. Following these alleged spells, Kirk was fatally shot, prompting Priestess Lilin to assert that her ‘magic’ had proven to be ‘effective’.
In a statement to the Metro, Priestess Lilin clarified that she does not celebrate loss of life but emphasized the belief within the witchcraft community that spells and curses can bring about significant changes, whether through psychological or metaphysical means.
Priestess Lilin, who operates the StrixSisters Etsy account alongside another witch named Leamashtu, delineated the difference in their practices, with Priestess Lilin focusing on benefic magic for healing and positivity, in contrast to Leamashtu’s malefic magic involving curses and negative spells.
Jezebel’s original article explored the concept of hexing Kirk for his divisive rhetoric, albeit with a humorous tone, highlighting the desire for minor inconveniences rather than serious harm. Following Kirk’s tragic death, Jezebel added an editor’s note condemning the violence and clarifying the satirical nature of the initial article.
Josh Jackson, president of Paste Media Group, owner of Jezebel, emphasized that the article was meant to be satirical and not intended to incite harm towards Kirk. He condemned the act of violence against Kirk and reiterated the publication’s stance against political violence.
Overall, the revelation of the ‘witch’ and her involvement in the events leading to Kirk’s shooting has sparked debate and drawn attention to the boundaries between satire, belief in magic, and real-world consequences.
