In a battle of beliefs, a Catholic exorcist is planning to fight an upcoming hex on Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh with a special Mass.
On Saturday, Catland Books, a Metaphysical boutique and occult bookshop in Brooklyn, New York, is hosting a hex on Kavanaugh in an effort to make him suffer, and send a message to his supporters.
No, you dont win. He may have been confirmed, but thats something we already knew was going to happen, co-owner Dakota Bracciale previously told Newsweek. We know the system is broken, and the people in charge need to be taken down by any means necessary, magical or otherwise.
As a response to the hex, Father Gary Thomas, the exorcist for the Diocese of San Jose, California, told the National Catholic Register that he was planning a special Mass for Kavanaugh on Thursday and Saturday.
This is a conjuring of evilnot about free speech, Thomas said. Conjuring up personified evil does not fall under free speech. Satanic cults often commit crimes; they murder and sexually abuse everyone in their cult.
Upon hearing of the hex, Thomas said he was appalled and the other exorcists he shared the story with were equally as troubled by the planned event. The priest explained the hex shows people believe in the power of witchcraft and will direct evil to have a permanently adverse effect on Kavanaugh.
The decision to do this against a Supreme Court justice is a heinous act and says a lot about the character of these people that should not be underestimated or dismissed, Thomas said. These are real evil people.

Personally, I could really go for that giant meteor right about now. The world is going insane.
While hexing someone is patently absurd, its certainly protected speech.
No, it isn't.
A Hex is a willful and deliberate solicitation for an assault by demonic forces. Note the critical part: willful and deliberate solicitation for assault.
So you don't believe in such things? Great! No problem for you! But when the demons fail to show up, there will be a tiny percentage of disappointed believers who will be inspired to move things along with physical-reality based actions instead. That leads to a perfectly ordinary crime, which should have perfectly ordinary consequences for all of the participants.
An attacker does not get excused by claiming that "demons made me do it". And the people who solicited that attack do not get to claim innocence on the grounds that "nobody actually believes in magik", and it's merely "freedom of speech".
