Dark Rituals, Real Consequences: The Disturbing Story Behind Jezebel’s “Curse” on Charlie Kirk
It sounds like something pulled from the pages of a gothic novel — witches for hire, spells cast on political opponents, curses timed with the lunar cycle. Yet according to recently surfaced reports, this was no work of fiction.
Just two weeks before Charlie Kirk was assassinated, the far-left website Jezebel published a shocking article boasting that its staff had commissioned a series of “curses” against him. They hired witches through Etsy, of all places, to perform hexes — an act they presented as satire, but one that struck many as cruel, reckless, and deeply disturbing.
The piece reveled in mockery, describing Kirk as a “villain” and “fake news vending machine,” and then proceeded to outline how spells were purchased, activated, and amplified. The writer, unnamed but identifying herself in the first person, admitted: “Is it ethical to curse a man I’ve never met? Probably not. But is it unethical to let him keep talking? Yes.”
From Etsy to the “Etsy Coven”
The article documented in startling detail the steps taken: providing Kirk’s date of birth to enhance accuracy, sending photographs of his face into flames, and even paying extra fees to “amplify” the curse’s power. One so-called “priestess” assured Jezebel that results would be visible within “two to three weeks.”
That time frame is chilling. Just 18 days later, Charlie Kirk was gunned down.
Jezebel later removed the article under legal advice, insisting it was satire and not intended to cause physical harm. Yet their statement carried a contradictory edge. They claimed they “stood by every word,” leaving critics to wonder: how could they justify both positions at once?
The Human Cost
For the Kirk family, the article was no laughing matter. Erika Kirk, a woman of faith who had already endured threats and hostility for standing with her husband, was rattled by the news. Knowing the seriousness with which Christianity treats the occult, she and Charlie asked a priestly friend to come to their home and pray over them on the very night before the assassination.
“She told me later,” recalled one confidant, “that she clung to the promise of Scripture: ‘Weapons may form, but they will not prosper.’ Still, she could not shake the cruelty of it. Why torment a family with such vile theatrics?”
Faith Leaders Weigh In
Father Mike Schmitz, a Catholic priest known for his clear teaching, has long warned about dabbling in spells and occult practices. “It’s not a game,” he explains. “When you call on spirits outside of God, you are playing with fire. Christians believe demons exist, and opening that door has consequences.”
For believers, the Jezebel stunt was not satire — it was a mockery of sacred things and a dangerous flirtation with evil.
A Larger Question
The outrage does not end with Jezebel. Etsy, the global marketplace better known for handmade crafts and jewelry, openly allows the sale of spells and curses as part of its “spiritual services.” While some may shrug this off as novelty or superstition, others point out that it provides cover for those wishing to channel malice against their political enemies — and profits from it.
Should a family in mourning be subjected to such torment under the banner of free speech or satire? That is the haunting question.
A Call for Accountability
Critics argue that Jezebel should be held accountable for publishing such an article, one that gleefully described efforts to silence a man and punish him for his views. Etsy, they say, should immediately cease allowing the sale of curses and hexes. Both companies, at the very least, owe Erika Kirk and her children an apology for the fear and distress inflicted in what turned out to be the final days of Charlie’s life.
What Jezebel dismissed as a joke was anything but humorous to a grieving family.
The Final Word
Charlie Kirk’s life was taken by a bullet, not a spell. But the timing, the cruelty, and the cavalier way in which his name was invoked in rituals of malice have left many shaken.
It stands as a sobering reminder: in an age of division and outrage, the lines between satire, cruelty, and danger are too easily blurred.
And for Erika Kirk, left to raise her children without their father, it is one more wound on top of an unimaginable loss.
