Days before Charlie Kirk was murdered during an outdoor speaking event, a feminist website paid for him to be cursed by witches on Etsy – and we’ve done a deepdive into it
Just two days before US influencer Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a rally, a niche publication in the country paid “Etsy witches” to curse him. In a move they’ve now apologised for media organisation Jezebel – which describes itself as an “alternative to traditional women’s publications – published an article called “We paid some Esty witches to curse Charlie Kirk”.
This went live on September 8 – some 48 hours before Kirk died after being shot in the neck during a campus event at Utah Valley University yesterday.
After Charlie’s shooting, Jezebel amended the article with an Editor’s Note, which read: “This story was published on September 8. Jezebel condemns the shooting of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms. We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence of any kind.”
However, the “witches” involved seem far less ready to apologise, and are now seemingly capitalising on their new-found fame, if their Etsy store is anything to go by.
The Daily Star has done a deep dive of it, and found that the two witches involved are called Priestess Linlin and High Priestess Leahmashtu, and they’ve now put the quotes and article from Jezebel as the cover image of their store – although the image of the full article now has “censored” over the top of it and it’s been blurred out.
They pair, who go by the combined name of The Strix Sisters, have only been on Etsy for one month, and charged between £20-£40 per curse. The one used by Jezebel is called “make everyone hate him: same day cast fast results” and states that it does five things:
- Social Isolation Curse
- Destroy Reputation
- Turn People Against Him
- Hex of Disgust
- Relationship Sabotage
There’s even an option to customise the curse for “specific intentions and desires” – and it’s currently on sale at 25% off, costing just £14.70.
Reviews of it, of which there are 101 currently, give it 4.9 out of five, with one saying: “I am very hopeful that this will manifest soon. Waiting patiently and trusting the process.”
And another said: “I felt really peaceful getting these services, just reading the other reviews you can feel the love & care they put in! Even I was told they were gna start I felt an instant shift in my energy, felt so positive & light. Truly a blessing.”
Other spells their pair claim to perform include “they can’t outrun karma justice” and “make them hate each other spell”.
The latter contains a rather ironic review, which says that the spell “actually did the opposite and brought them closer together”.
The pair replied: “Hello love we have set expectations earlier in the conversation where the spell may take effect immediately to several weeks, do let us know what we can do for you in the meantime as we saw you asked for something stronger, thank you!”
The Daily Star is not going to tests these spells, and probably risks being cursed just for writing this . . . so if someone can check up on us in a few days, that would be grand.
