The tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, a notable conservative activist and founder of Turning Point USA, has taken a bizarre turn with revelations involving witchcraft. On September 10, during an event at Utah Valley University, Kirk was fatally shot, leaving the nation in shock. Days before this event, a liberal website, Jezebel, had publicized its payment to witches for placing a curse on Kirk, a story which has since been deleted following his death.
Priestess Lilin, identifying as one of the witches involved, recently expressed her regret over the incident in an interview with the Daily Mail. She conveyed her willingness to have a private discussion with Erika Kirk, Charlie's widow, to expound on her actions. Lilin stressed that the curse was never intended to cause physical harm and that she did not take pleasure in Kirk's demise.
Erika Kirk's distress over the Jezebel article was highlighted by Megyn Kelly on her YouTube show. According to Kelly, the Kirks had sought spiritual intervention from a Catholic priest to counteract the curse the night before Charlie's assassination, underscoring the family's deep-seated fears and beliefs.
The Jezebel article had brazenly detailed the ease of purchasing a curse, comparing it to buying a phone charger, and sparked a debate on whether to punish Kirk for his conservative activism. The piece included an interaction with Priestess Lilin and her "sister," High Priestess Leamashtu, the actual spellcaster. Following the assassination, Jezebel removed the article and condemned the violence unequivocally, distancing themselves from any endorsement of political violence.
Lilin, defending her practices, stated that their spells are primarily for protection and healing. She emphasized that their work is spiritual and that they do not engage in activities aimed at causing physical harm. Despite this, both Lilin and Leamashtu have faced severe backlash, including death threats, and have been banned from Etsy, where they offered services like "Infernal Justice Black Magick" and "Generational Black Magic Curse."
The assassination of Charlie Kirk has not only sent ripples through the political sphere but also highlighted the peculiar intersection of political commentary, social media, and occult practices. Kirk, who was closely associated with former President Donald Trump, had just appeared at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, illustrating his prominence in conservative circles.
Lilin's revelations add a chilling dimension to the assassination, revealing the complexities of contemporary political discourse and the unexpected influence of esoteric rituals. As the investigation into Kirk's death continues, the intertwining of these elements presents a disturbing narrative that confronts our understanding of politics, spirituality, and the power of belief.
