Self-proclaimed witch regrets 'cursing' Charlie Kirk for controversial article before his death
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: A self-proclaimed witch who helped 'cast a curse' on conservative activist Charlie Kirk before his death for a controversial article now says she regrets her actions.
Following Kirk's death on September 10, the self-proclaimed witch, Priestess Lilin, expressed regret and said that she never meant to cause harm and now wants to reach out to Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk.
Self-proclaimed witch expresses regret over 'cursing' Charlie Kirk
Priestess Lilin said that she was one of the witches contacted by Jezebel, an online news website, before Kirk’s death. She also said that she never wanted the situation to spiral into a tragedy.
She also acknowledged the agony Erika Kirk has to go through and offered to speak with her privately to give answers.
“We regret any distress experienced. What we do is done based on an impartial perspective and at a professional level,” Lilin said in a chat with the Daily Mail. “We respect the widow’s feelings and welcome a private conversation to address her concerns.”
According to the witch, the curse in question was never meant to cause any physical harm. “Our spells are spiritual in nature and we do not perform actions that are intended to cause physical harm,” she explained.
The controversial Jezebel article
Two days before Kirk was shot dead, Jezebel published a controversial article titled "We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk."
The article described purchasing a curse “as easily as I can buy a phone charger,” wondering if there was a spell aimed at punishing Charlie Kirk for his rhetoric.
The article was quickly taken down after it drew furious debate following Kirk’s murder.
The article includes details of how several self-proclaimed witches, including Lilin and her sister, High Priestess Leamashtu, were contacted through Etsy, an online marketplace.
Self-proclaimed witch explains her rituals
The ritual involved burning a photograph of Kirk. When asked about the spell’s role in the tragic event, Lilin replied, “I would like to say that a person’s life and death always have weight, and we do not celebrate the loss of life."
“While we cannot and would not claim responsibility for Mr Kirk’s death, we do affirm that the magic we work with in our daily lives is very real.”
While the scandal has brought her unwanted attention, Priestess Lilin asserts that her work is not inherently sinister and mainly involves spells for protection and healing.
She also defended more controversial rituals, arguing that the summoning of demons and communicating with spirits are not inherently evil. According to her, demons are complex beings, and the mediumship is ethically neutral and can be effective.
Erika Kirk was rattled by notion of witchcraft
Megyn Kelly, on her YouTube show, revealed how the couple reacted in the hours before the tragedy struck.
She described Erica being rattled by the notion of being cursed by the witches, and the family even took the threat seriously to the extent they called in a Catholic priest the night before the tragedy.
Kelly recalled Erika’s words, “Weapons will form but not prosper, Satan and those witches have no power.”
