Lana Del Rey Is Using This Unusual Form of Protest to Get President Trump Out of Office
There’s been plenty of collective action taken since Donald Trump became President, and though we’re used to seeing marches and protests, a very *different* kind of effort is brewing. That’s because witches (yes, witches!) worldwide are planning to simultaneously cast a spell on President Trump, and Lana Del Rey has plans to participate.
With a particular spell making its way around social media, a Facebook group set up for the energy-directing initiative explains that this is a “mass binding ritual to be performed at midnight on every waning crescent moon until Donald Trump is removed from office. Join the #magicresistance!”
FYI: According to Witchipedia, a binding ritual “is a spell that symbolically ties the target up restricting his, her or its actions…” Eep! This sounds like bad news for Trump, indeed.
At the stroke of midnight

While plenty of magical folks are jumping on board, Lana Del Rey has publicly shared her intention of being one of the witches casting her heart out.
And she won’t be alone… at least not if Twitter is any indicator!
