On Sept. 8, Jezebel published an article describing how one of its writers hired witches on Etsy to cast curses on Charlie Kirk. The writer timed the ritual to the new moon in Virgo, paid extra to “amplify the energetic support,” and received a photograph of Kirk’s face burning in flames. Her first spell, written in all caps, declared: “MAKE EVERYONE HATE HIM.” Days later, on September 10, Charlie Kirk was gunned down.

Megyn Kelly exposed the vile details on her program and condemned both Jezebel and Etsy. Jezebel later removed the article on the advice of lawyers, yet publicly stated they “stand by every word” and even suggested they may republish it. Their actions were unapologetic and defiant, showing no remorse for cursing a Christian husband and father of two.
A demonic act in plain sight
Jezebel’s publication and promotion of curses was an invocation of dark spiritual forces. Proverbs 18:21 says, “The tongue has the power of life and death.” Their words were an attempt to call death, silence, and destruction over a man who devoted his life to speaking truth.
The Apostle Paul warned, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph. 6:12). Jezebel invited witches to curse Charlie Kirk, and Etsy profited from it. This was demonic warfare carried out in the open against a servant of Christ.

On the very day Charlie Kirk was killed, Megyn Kelly invited Father Mike Schmitz onto her program to address the danger of witchcraft. He explained that curses, Ouija boards, and rituals are entry points for demonic activity. He recalled true accounts of possession that began with what seemed like “innocent” acts of occult practice. His words underscored what the church has always taught: witchcraft is real, demons are real, and engaging with the occult gives the enemy ground.
The cruelty toward the Kirks
Erika Kirk, Charlie’s young wife, was deeply shaken when she and Charlie learned about the curses. She loved her husband and took seriously the biblical warnings about the power of darkness. The couple invited a priest friend into their home to pray over them the very night before Charlie’s death.
Erika later said she reminded herself of God’s promise that “weapons will form but not prosper.” She held fast to the truth that Satan and his witches have no ultimate authority over God’s will. Even so, Jezebel’s actions placed a cruel burden of fear and distress on a young family with two small children. Their actions revealed a hatred that targeted not only Charlie’s message but his marriage, his fatherhood, and his faith.
The biblical response
The Word of God calls Christians into active resistance in times of spiritual conflict:
- Ephesians 6:13 — Put on the full armor of God and stand firm.
- 2 Corinthians 10:5 — Take every thought captive to Christ.
- James 4:7 — Submit to God and resist the devil.
- 1 Peter 5:8–9 — Be sober and vigilant, resisting the adversary steadfast in the faith.
Charlie and Erika turned to prayer, Scripture, and fellowship with believers. That example stands for the church today. Christians are called to confront evil with the authority of Christ, standing firm in truth.
Naming evil with clarity
Megyn Kelly declared Jezebel vile and demanded that both Jezebel and Etsy be held accountable. She said Jezebel should close its doors and Etsy should stop hosting witchcraft. Both entities owe Erika Kirk and her family a direct apology for inviting curses upon them and for celebrating darkness.
This was witchcraft aimed at a Christian leader, carried out in the open, and defended even after his death. Jezebel trafficked in the demonic, and Etsy turned it into a business transaction.
Hope in the victory of Christ
The Bible makes clear that the outcome of this battle has already been decided. James 4:7 declares the devil will flee when God’s people resist him. 1 John 4:4 proclaims, “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.” Hebrews affirms that Christ has destroyed the one who holds the power of death.

Charlie Kirk’s murder was a devastating blow, but his faith and witness continue to shine. The schemes of the enemy cannot overcome the triumph of the cross. For Erica, her children, and for the church, the hope of Christ is stronger than any curse, stronger than any assassin’s bullet, and stronger than the hatred of Jezebel and its witches.
