The new president has upset many people and the latest group fighting back is a bunch of witches. A document that is circulating in the witch community is asking everyone who practices the craft to join in a monthly ritual until the president is removed from office. The binding spell must be cast at midnight on every waning crescent moon. The first one is tonight.

The difference between a binding spell and a curse is that this one will cause no harm. “It’s a restraint, not harm. I see it as self-defense,” said Michael M. Hughes, a writer who covers the paranormal. Now there is a whole Facebook group dedicated to the cause. To perform the spell, the witches need a whole list of ingredients, including an “unflattering photo of Trump” and a “tiny stub of an orange candle or orange carrot.” The witches are being joined by Lana Del Rey, but some Christian groups have said they will pray to counteract the witchcraft.
