I was paid to curse Charlie Kirk just days before his death – and I’m not sorry

Etsy witches who were paid to “curse” Charlie Kirk just days before he was shot and killed have spoken out, but haven’t apologised for what happened.

31-year-old political activist Charlie Kirk was killed on Wednesday, during a speech at a Utah Valley University event. A few days before he was shot, publication Jezebel published an article which was headlined: “We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk.”

The article has since been taken down, but only after it stayed live on the site for an entire day after Charlie had died. In the piece, the writer said: “I want to make it clear, I’m not calling on dark forces to cause him harm.” But it was said the witches had been paid and enlisted to complete a “MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM” spell, a “POWERFUL HEX SPELL” and one of the witches, Priestess Lilin, reportedly sent a video of a picture of Charlie Kirk being set on fire.

The publication released a statement the day after Charlie Kirk was shot, and said: “We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence of any kind.”

Now, one of the witches behind the shop, StrixSisters, has spoken out. Priestess Lilin sent a statement to The Metro, and didn’t take accountability for the death, but said hers and her sister’s magic is “effective”. She also notably didn’t apologise for her untimely cursing.

Priestess Lilin told Metro: “I would like to say first off that a person’s life and death always has weight, and we do not celebrate the loss of life. With that said, throughout the witchcraft community many of us believe that spells, magic and curses are very real and can bring about profound change in this world, whether it be through psychological or metaphysical means.

“As sisters we have dealt and seen things we cannot explain, done things that defy logic, magic is very much real to us. While we cannot claim literal responsibility for Mr Kirk’s death, we do affirm that the magic we work with is effective. When you work that in alignment with the collective energy, it can manifest in unthinkable ways. We hope that sums up our stance on this matter. Thank you for visiting our shoppe.”

The Jezebel article has now been replaced with a note from its editor. It reads: “On Monday, September 8, we published the humorous piece titled ‘We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk.’ The piece was intended as satire and made it absolutely clear that we wished no physical harm. We stand by every word.
