Witches plan to hex Brett Kavanaugh using effigies, coffin nails, graveyard dirt and more
A Brooklyn, New York bookstore is planning an event for people angered by the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court: A public hex.
Witches will host Oct. 20 event, organizer Dakota Bracciale said. The ritual has sold out of tickets and attracted the interest of thousands. It's intended to "to make Kavanaugh suffer," Bracciale told Newsweek.
About 60 people will be in attendance at the event, Bracciale told USA TODAY on Saturday. The ritual will include effigies, coffin nails, graveyard dirt and — of course — a spell.
Bracciale said the bookstore has organized hexes before, including three last year on President Donald Trump.
Not everyone in attendance will believe in the power of the hex — and that's okay, according to Bracciale,who said he event is in part a means of spiritual or emotional catharsis.
Kavanaugh isn't the only subject of the gathering's anger. Those in attendance will be targeting "all rapists and the patriarchy which emboldens, rewards and protects them," according to the hex's Eventbrite page.
After the hex, a second ritual will be held, according to the listing: "The Rites of the Scorned One." It will "validate, affirm, uphold and support those of us who have been wronged and who refuse to be silent any longer."
