Trump opponents plan Halloween spell to bind him - Washington Examiner

A week before Halloween, opponents of President Trump will gather in the thousands to cast a spell on the administration.

Participants in the ritual, which has been performed regularly since Trump's inauguration, are taking particular encouragement from Democrats' recent launch of an impeachment inquiry. "I'm willing to go on record and say it's working," said Michael Hughes, the self-described magical thinker and activist who came up with the ritual.

The spell is crafted "to bind Donald Trump and all those who abet him," and is supposed to be performed during every waning crescent moon until Trump is removed from office.

The ritual calls for the use of an unflattering photo of Trump, a tarot card, a stub of an orange candle, a pin, and a feather. Participants then call on the "heavenly hosts, demons of the infernal realms, and spirits of the ancestors" to bind Trump "so that his malignant works may fail utterly."

- Lord God, we repent that this is even happening in our country, and we stand, asking forgiveness for these wicked people, for they know not what they do.

We break the effects of all curses and incantations by the Power of the Blood of Jesus, and we take up the Sword of the Spirit to protect our President. We bind the spirits they will unleash, and we loose forgiveness in Jesus' name, amen.

- "Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (Matthew 18:18)
