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?
