Many people have had their computer or smartphone possessed by an evil demon — or at least that’s what it can feel like when some mysterious bug keeps causing an app to crash, or your phone keeps shutting off for no reason.
But if you truly think your electronics have been invaded by an evil spirit, there's someone who will take your call — Reverend Joey Talley — a Wiccan witch from the San Francisco Bay Area who claims to solve supernatural issues for techies.
The Bay Area has always had a freewheeling spirit, which is part of the reason the tech industry found such a firm foothold there. And tech people are often experimental by nature, gravitating toward promises of an improved life through trial-and-error. This has led to some interesting crossover in San Francisco, with certain tech big shots from companies like Salesforce, Facebook, and Apple seeking out mystic help for conventional problems, SF Weekly reports.
Talley is one of those mystics, a Marin County witch boasting three master’s degrees and over 40 years of experience. Though tech problems are not the only ones Talley tackles, she is routinely called upon to debug people’s tech woes with spiritual energy.

Kind of like asking Satan to save you from spending eternity in Hell.
Are these people serious? I mean, really? They must be supremely arrogant to jump to the conclusion that because they cannot fix the problem, it must be evil spirits when the truth is they are not skilled or knowledgable enough to fix the problem with the software code or hardware that is causing the problem.
Never do business with these companies.
Press 1 for tech support
Press 2 for Wiccan witch
This is either the newest thing in affirmative action hires or marketing.
Wiccan witch of the west?
Just remember, according to the MSM: Conservatives are “anti-science.”
How long ago were these same dimwits hiring Feng Sui interior decorators?
Works skyclad. That’ll fix it.
Hey, it’s San Fran, home of the San Francisco Twit, Nancy Pelosi.
I don't think they're "really" serious, but they could be slightly serious. Even in the IT industry, most people have so little idea of how the technology works ... let alone how it fails ... that at some level, they're willing to believe cutting heads off black chickens in the basement will keep the network from crashing.
What is all this crap about demons, vampires, zombies and such? It certainly appears that many people actually believe in such junk. Especially the younger people.
They are well and truly NUTS!
So, when Joey goes to the beach, does that make her a “sand witch”?
You know I used make a joke when someones computer was coughing up hairballs.
I would go full on Earnest Angely, lay hands on the monitor, thump it with the heel of my hand, and say, “Cast thee out ye binary demons!”.
Always got a good laugh from people who knew what binary was.
These people can always be counted on to walk into the punchline of a joke!
There are 10 types of people in the world: those who know binary and those who don't.
Yuk, Yuk, Yuk.
I saw that on a poster, and chuckled at it. Mrs. rikkir had no idea what I was laughing at.
She also doesn’t get the Schrodeinger’s Cat in the bar joke.
