A self-proclaimed witch who asserts she participated in casting a curse on Charlie Kirk prior to his death has expressed remorse over the distress it caused his widow, Erika.
In an interview with the Daily Mail the spellcaster offered to correspond with her privately about it.
The witch, known as Priestess Lilin, mentioned that the spell was never meant to cause physical harm to the founder of Turning Point USA and stated that she did not take pleasure in the loss of his life.
Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10 during a campus event at Utah Valley University.
Just two days before, the liberal platform Jezebel had released an article disclosing that they had engaged several witches, contacted through the online marketplace Etsy, to cast a curse on Kirk in the days preceding his murder.
On Tuesday, Megyn Kelly revealed on her YouTube show that Erika Kirk had been ‘genuinely rattled’ by the Jezebel article.
The Kirks were so concerned by it that they asked a Catholic priest to undo the curse the night before the conservative commentator was shot dead.
Kelly said: ‘Why torture a family like this? A Christian, believing family. Why do this vile thing to a young couple?’

The Jezebel article was published two days before the death of Charlie Kirk and was later taken down
The Jezebel article was titled ‘We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk,’ and it was removed after the assassination.
In it the anonymous author mused about being able to purchase a ‘curse as easily as I can buy a phone charger.’
They posed the question: ‘Are you interested in punishing Kirk for the years of regressive rhetoric he’s shouted at America’s youth and anyone within earshot?
‘Here at Jezebel, we’re about to find out if there’s a spell for that.’
One of the witches they contacted is known as Priestess Lilin.
The Daily Mail contacted a witch claiming to be the same Priestess Lilin via email.
Asked if she would like to apologize to Erika Kirk, she said: ‘We regret any distress experienced. What we do is done based on an impartial perspective and at a professional level.
‘We respect the widow’s feelings and welcome a private conversation to address her concerns.’
She added: ‘Our spells are spiritual in nature and we do not perform actions that are intended to cause physical harm.’
Asked if she believed the spell had any role in Charlie Kirk’s death, she said: ‘I would like to say that a person’s life and death always have weight, and we do not celebrate the loss of life.
‘While we cannot and would not claim responsibility for Mr. Kirk’s death, we do affirm that the magic we work with in our daily lives is very real.’

Erika Kirk was reportedly rattled by a Jezebel article that claimed the author had paid witches to put a curse on her husband Charlie days before his assassination
Priestess Lilin claimed it was not her who actually cast the spell, but her ‘sister’ who goes by the name High Priestess Leamashtu.
The Jezebel article described a curse that involved the burning of a photograph of Charlie Kirk.
Priestess Lilin said the majority of her work is casting spells for ‘protection and healing’ but that ‘summoning demons’ and communicating with spirits were ‘not inherently “evil acts”.’
‘The Spiritual community views Demons as multi-faceted Spirits and, not one-dimensional big bad evils,’ she said.
‘Mediumship is also perceived as an ethically neutral practice. Is it effective? Yes.’
She said she and Leamashtu had received a ‘barrage of death threats’ recently and have been banned by Etsy.
Esty did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Mail.
Among a host of cleansing and healing spells Lilin and Leamashtu also offer ‘Hexes and Curses’ accompanied by a picture of a doll with pins stuck into it.
The specific spells include an ‘Infernal Justice Black Magick Spell’ and a ‘Generational Black Magic Curse.’
Other spells promise to ‘destroy their friendship,’ ‘make them hate each other,’ and ‘make them lose their job.’
It was unclear which one was cast in relation to Charlie Kirk.
On Tuesday, Megyn Kelly revealed on her show that she had wrestled with whether to reveal the incident because it was ‘so vile and off and odd.’
She said: ‘This is what I want the people at Jezebel to know, Erika and Charlie Kirk heard about these curses, and it really rattled Erika in particular.

‘She knew Christian teaching on this subject. She loved Charlie absolutely. She was scared when she heard of the curses Jezebel had culled up.
‘So much so that she and Charlie contacted a friend – who I believe she said was a Catholic priest – and asked him to pray with them and over Charlie, the night before he was murdered.
‘She eventually worked it through, and so did Charlie, that, as she told me, “weapons will form but not prosper,” that “satan and those witches have no power.”’
In the Jezebel article the anonymous author wrote: ‘I want to make it clear, I’m not calling on dark forces to cause him harm.’
In a statement after Charlie Kirk’s death, Jezebel said: ‘This story was published on September 8. Jezebel condemns the shooting of Charlie Kirk in the strongest possible terms.
‘We do not endorse, encourage, or excuse political violence of any kind.’
