One spell to bind him: ‘Witches’ unite worldwide to take on Trump in bizarre ritual

Self-styled “witches” around the world are planning a mass ritual binding spell against Donald Trump and “all those who abet him” in possibly the most bizarre protest movement to date against the new US president.

According to the bewitching campaigners, the “spell” is scheduled to be performed at the stroke of midnight EST on Friday February 24, and again on waning crescent moon ritual days until Trump leaves office. (In case you don’t already have them marked in your diary going forward, for the next few months they include March 26, April 24, May 23 and June 21.)

The binding spell is supposed to prevent the person from doing damage to themselves or others.

Meanwhile, some Christians aren’t too pleased at the prospect and are planning their own counter-mission of prayer.
