Witches Gathering in Salem for Halloween Ceremony Honor Stormy Daniels

Just girls doing girl things.

Very normal.

The Guardian:

Practicing witches from around the world gathered in Salem by the hundreds on Thursday night to honor Stormy Daniels at their annual “magic circle” ceremony recognizing loved ones who have died.

Daniels – the adult film actor who allegedly had an affair with Donald Trump and was at the center of his May criminal trial that led to the former president’s conviction on 34 felonies – was chosen to be honored in the Halloween ceremony as the organizers believe that she has been the victim of a modern-day witch hunt.

The event, which started at 5pm at Salem Common in Salem, Massachusetts, was part of the Festival of the Dead, an annual event series exploring “death’s macabre customs, heretical histories and strange rituals”.

The magic circle ceremony is intended to be a time to “renew connections, mourn those you miss and to celebrate all that these cherished souls brought to your life”, according to the event details.

About 1,500 people gathered in the large witch circle on Salem Common, some dressed as witches, others in an array of Halloween costumes. They chanted and clapped to a beating drum while they blessed the four corners: north, south, east and west.

At the event, Daniels was awarded the first ever “Salem Witches’ Woman of Power Award” which, according to the Boston Globe is given in recognition of someone’s strength, intuition and magic.

“A lot of people know Stormy for being a porn star and fighting against Trump in court,” said Christian Day, an organizer of the event and a local warlock. “But a lot of people don’t know that she is a practicing witch, and that she is someone who stands out as a woman of power.”

Wait, are women satanic?

Why did no one tell me this?
