The first ritual to hex Kavanaugh, as well as “all rapists and the patriarchy at large which emboldens, rewards and protects them” will take place this Saturday, October 20, and sold out less than a week before any major publicity, Dakota Bracciale, Catland co-owner and creator of the hex on Kavanaugh, told Broadly. More than 10,000 people have marked themselves as “going” or “interested” on Facebook since the event was published. Because Catland has a maximum event occupancy of 60, organizers are expanding the hex into multiple rituals and events. (Catland’s June ritual to hex Trump and his constituency was eventually expanded into three ritual events.) The second ritual to hex Kavanaugh will take place on Saturday, November 3, and tickets are available for $10 on eventbrite.

Bracciale describes the hex on Kavanaugh as an act of “spiritual solidarity and sociopolitical resistance.” Half of the event’s proceeds will be donated to charities: 25 percent to the Southern Poverty Law Center and another 25 percent to the Sylvia Rivera Law Project. The remaining earnings will be used toward renovating Catland in order to insulate and weatherproof the venue for winter.

“It strikes fear into the heart of Christian fundamentalists,” Bracciale says of the backlash. “That’s one of the reasons that we do it. Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. We don’t subscribe to this bullshit, pacifist, love and light, everybody just get along thing. If you want to hijack the country; if you want to steal the election; if you want to overturn Roe v. Wade; if you want to harm people who are queer; well guess what: We’re not doing civility. If you’re going to be these awful bullies, you have to understand someone is going to punch you back and it might as well be a bunch of witches from Brooklyn.”

1. But he got confirmed despite the hex.

Can those folks at least deliver an outbreak of boils?

2. The first ritual hasn't taken place yet. It's this Saturday.

And, a hex doesn't work in just one particular way. It can manifest itself in any area of one's life.

3. I love this. And for those who sneer at pagan spells/rituals, consider the fundy heads exploding...

Christian evangelicals/fundamentalists very much believe that their own prayers can harm people they don't like. They like calling down bane and ruin on others by reading select passages from the Old Testament. They're just not used to anyone fighting back, especially not fire with fire.

4. I'm basically a non-believer

(even though I attend an Episcopal Church) but I wholeheartedly support these witches in their efforts to hex Kavanaugh, if only to make Pat Robertson and his hateful ilk go nuts over it. I pray that it works.

As an aside have you noticed fundies almost never quote the Gospels, the most important part of the Bible?

7. Fundamentalists are oddly silent on the social implications of the Sermon on the Mount...

Fire & brimstone is more their speed. The trouble is, in a mob they are dangerous.

5. You're absolutely right about these people praying for the 'harm' to others and the like. I've ...

seen it, heard it, and think it's disgusting to abuse this so called Christian behavior. Disgusting and is one of the reasons I've turned against organized religion. Fellow human wishing harm upon another, especially from a church and its members.
