Scary Idea of the Month: Bookstore's Kavanaugh Hex

A hexing event planned for this coming Saturday evening at Catland Books, a metaphysical bookstore in Brooklyn, N.Y., is already casting a spell: it's become the subject of many media stories in the last week.

The hex will be placed on new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh "and upon all rapists and the partriarchy which emboldens, rewards, and protects them," the store wrote in its invitation to the sold-out event. "We will be embracing witchcraft's true roots as the magik of the poor, the downtrodden and disenfranchised and its history as often the only weapon, the only means of exacting justice available to those of us who have been wronged by men just like him." Catland added that Kavanaugh is "by no means the only target, so bring your rage and and all of the axes you've got to grind. There will also be a second ritual afterward--"The Rites of the Scorned One" which seeks to validate, affirm, uphold and support those of us who have been wronged and who refuse to be silent any longer."

Tickets to the event are $10, and half of that will go to Planned Parenthood and to the Ali Forney Center, an LGBT community center.

On Sunday on MSNBC, Amy Kremer, co-founder of Women for Trump, cited the hexing event as one of many indications that this is a "scary time" for Republicans, the Washington Post reported.

Event organizer Dakota Bracciale told Time, "We're raising visibility and letting people know they're not alone with the monsters. Even the witches are coming out of the woodwork to stop this."

The store, whose regular events include Yoga for Witches, Plant Magik 101, Working with Goddesses, and Potions and Tinctures, may add more hexing events after this one sold out.
