https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/witches-ritual-hex-brett-kavanaugh_us_5bc0efaae4b0bd9ed559feffDozens of witches say they plan to gather in New York City this month to hex Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was sworn in to the nations highest court last week despite facing several allegations of sexual misconduct.
Dakota Bracciale, a Brooklyn-based witch who is organizing the Oct. 20 event, said the witches see the hex as a radical act of resistance that continues witchcrafts long history as a refuge and weapon for the oppressed, downtrodden and marginalized.
Witchcraft has been used throughout history as a tool and ally for people on the fringes of society who will not ever really get justice through the powers that be, Bracciale told HuffPost. So they have to exact their own justice.
Bracciale, who organized three hexes against President Donald Trump last year, said the ritual is meant to be cathartic for victims of sexual assault. Kavanaugh will apparently be a focal point for the hex, but not the only target. The public hex is meant to exact revenge on all rapists and the patriarchy at large which emboldens, rewards and protects them, a Facebook page dedicated to the event states.

(17,984 posts)8. I remember the first several months of 2016 the witches on DU planned hexes
I recall it involved a candle that was "an orange stub".

(90,690 posts)9. That's ongoing and not original to DU. Starhawk & others in the Craft encourage a monthly ritual....
...to "bind" Trump and his administration's designs. Think of it as tying his ankles and hands with rope, not hanging him by the neck.
You can find Starhawk online.

Got about 18000 ft of baler twine on hand. It's even orange. Would that be enough for Daddy's Boy Donnie?
