The rumors are real. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk stories circulated that
the online magazine “Jezebel,” self-described as taking a “bold, feminist stance,” had cursed
Kirk. As the story claimed, a reporter at “Jezebel” had contacted a witchcraft section of the
online “marketplace” Etsy. “Jezebel” sought to put a curse on Kirk to see if it would affect him
and his organization. Two days later he was dead. Did the curse work? Are death curses form
witches real, and what power can they possibly have to effect evil on the intended target?
