The witch who put a ‘hex’ on Charlie Kirk before his assassination has spoken out.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The right-wing commentator was speaking at an event at Utah<\/a> Valley University on September 10 when he was shot by a single bullet in the neck.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old was pronounced dead at the hospital<\/a> in news that sent shockwaves around the US and the world.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

President Donald Trump<\/a>, who described Kirk as a ‘very good friend’, announced his passing on social media before releasing his own lengthy tribute in a video message addressed to the nation.<\/p>\n

The FBI has since publicly named its leading suspect<\/a> in the case today (September 12) as 22-year-old Utah native, Tyler Robinson – who remains in custody.<\/p>\n

However, prior to the arrest<\/a>, a magazine outlet found itself at the forefront of controversy after an author said they had ‘paid witches’ on Etsy<\/a> to put a ‘curse’ on Kirk, eerily just days before his assassination.<\/p>\n

Published on Monday (September 8), the Jezebel article condemned Kirk<\/a> for his historic comments about women with its unnamed journalist reportedly forking out on a hex to bring Kirk some bad luck.<\/p>\n

The author stated they purchased<\/a> several spells from different witches on the site, including a ‘MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM’ curse and a ‘POWERFUL HEX SPELL’.<\/p>\n

Another hex from a supposed witch who goes by the name Priestess Lilin reportedly sent a video of a photograph of Kirk being set on fire.<\/p>\n

Now, the Priestess has broken her silence to the Metro<\/a>, noting that she isn’t responsible for Kirk’s death.<\/p>\n

Despite this, she confessed her magic is ‘effective’.<\/p>\n

Lilin said she ‘walks the path of beneficial magic, also known as white magic for healings, love, abundance and divination’.<\/p>\n

She is one of two ‘witches’ running the StrixSisters Etsy account alongside another named Leamashtu, whom conversely practices ‘malefic magic, also known as black magic like curses, obsession spells, and pact making’.<\/p>\n

Their Etsy shop of witchcraft, spells and curses boasts a whopping 45 five-star reviews.<\/p>\n

The Jezebel author did note, however, that they didn’t wish physical harm on Kirk when they contacted the witches.<\/p>\n

“I want to make it clear, I\u2019m not calling on dark forces to cause him harm. I just want him to wake up every morning with an inexplicable zit. I want his podcast<\/a> microphone to malfunction every time he hits record,” they penned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want his blue blazers to suddenly all be one size too small. I want one of his socks to always be sliding down his foot. I want his thumb to grow too big to tweet. To ruin his day with the collective feminist power of the Etsy coven would be my life\u2019s greatest joy.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the end of the piece, they wrote: “So, did my Etsy curses work? Time will tell.”<\/p>\n

After thanking the witches who ‘hex Republicans and topple conservative regimes (and the occasional ex-boyfriend)’, they concluded: “And to you, Mr Kirk: May the rash come swiftly.”<\/p>\n

Since the sudden assassination, the magazine added an editor’s note, stating the article was intended as ‘satire’.<\/p>\n

However, Jezebel says it has since decided to remove the copy based on recommendations from its legal team and out of an ‘abundance of caution for our staff’.<\/p>\n

Prior to its takedown, Josh Jackson, president of Paste Media Group said<\/a> in statement to Variety: \u201cThe article was a tongue-in-cheek exploration of people selling hexes on Etsy, and intended as a satirical response to Charlie Kirk\u2019s rhetoric over the years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe writer was very clear that she didn\u2019t want real harm to come to Kirk. What happened today is tragic and becoming all too commonplace, and we condemn this awful act of violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
