As many of you know, I belong to the group Spells for Democracy, started and led by none other than Isaac Bonewits, which is dedicated to effecting political change by pooling the magickal energy of Pagans across the country. In 2006 I posted the 13 Tuesdays spells that were meant to support Democratic efforts to regain the House and the Senate. Now that we are in a Presidential election year, the outcome of which is so important to all of us, it seemed like a good time to revive the practice of sharing the spells with you. The more the merrier and the more effective the magick will be!

The latest spell: Turning up the lights!

Between now and February 5th is a good time to do revelation spells on all the US party candidates for the presidential nominations. Every Monday night (Jan. 21, 28, and Feb. 4th), pick a candidate or two, then invoke appropriate American deities (Justice, Liberty, Democracy) to bring light to all evil shadows around them. Let ugly rumors dissipate and hidden truths stand out clearly, so that even the traditional "mainstream" media cannot hide the results from the American people. These spells will be the ethical equivalent of investigative journalism actually being done about the rich and powerful.

Some of you may want to do divination to decide which candidates to work on and whether revealing negative information is more important than revealing positive. Similar spells will be needed during the following months, but the number of candidates to focus upon should be smaller, except for those of you with important Senatorial or Congressional contests involving corrupt figures.

If none of this makes any sense, or seems somehow "unethical" - imagine forcing politicians to run honest campaigns! - you may wish to read my Spells for Democracy page. Those of you who've participated in spells like this before will notice that we are switching our working nights to Mondays, though some of you may want to work on Friday or Saturday nights instead; especially if you can get a group of friends to help.

Let the light of Truth and Justice shine out brightly!

bright blessings,
Isaac

Imagine witches across the country working together to accomplish some real change in our currently horrible government. It is possible! Remember the story about the witches in England who cast spells together to protect the British from German air attack? With bright blessings, indeed, let's turn up the lights!
