Exorcists warn all who participated in the Wiccan Donald Trump binding spell

'It's not Trump they are against, but Jesus.'

Witches in the U.S. are offering a solution to those who say Donald Trump is not their president: cast a spell on him. It's a planned monthly event that began Friday, Feb. 23 at the stroke of midnight Eastern Time.

Washington D.C. (National Catholic Register) - Witches from around the country are casting a mass spell to drive Trump from office. The plan is to continue every night of a waning crescent moon until he is no longer president.

Organizers set up a Facebook page, called "A Spell to Bind Donald Trump and All Those Who Abet Him." The spell is publicized on the Internet and includes a supply list such as an unflattering photo of Trump, a tarot card, a stub of an orange candle, and earth.

Evil Will not Do Good

The ritual calls on spirits, which include the "Demons of the infernal realms," and commands to "bind Donald J. Trump so that he may fail utterly..."

The words in the spell: "That he may do no harm," sugarcoat the reality that the devil wants the destruction of mankind and never has our best interest at heart.

The Power of Spells

Spells can have power, according to Father Vincent Lampert, the designated exorcist for the archdiocese of Indianapolis since 2005 and also the pastor for St. Malachy in Indianapolis. "I think there's power, but it's not coming from God," Father Lampert said. "Anyone who would dare say they want to challenge that God is in charge is using the power of evil as their own. They should realize that we can't use the devil; the devil uses us. People can't control it and the devil ends up using them for his own purposes."

Spells, according to Father Lampert, only have an effect in people who are spiritually weak. If we are anchored in God, he said Scripture tells us we have nothing to fear. "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places," (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Father Lampert pointed out that in Deuteronomy 18:10-12, using witchcraft is condemned as detestable to God. He has known a few people who derive a sense of power and make money from people paying to have spells cast. Hundreds of people have come to Father Lampert for help after spells were cast on them.

The Solution

"You can't stop someone from placing a curse, but as a Christian, if you are you praying to God and going to him, the curse will have no power," Father Lampert said. For Catholics, he said going to Mass, receiving the Eucharist and going to Confession, is strong protection against evil. "Curses are effective when people are weak," Father Lampert explained. "People are fearing devil more than trusting God."

As for the call for those casting the spell, Father Lampert said they are relying on evil that feeds on anger and revenge. "The end result of all this for people will be to find themselves more deeply entangled with the devil," he said. "Their lives will continue to spiral out of control because they do not have God as an anchor."

Prayers for protection are very effective, according to Father Lampert, but we should not just be reactionary. "We should always be proactive in our faith and praying for our leaders-both civic and religious-as a normal part of our everyday action," he said. "I would hate to think our faith is just reactionary. Scripture tells us to pray unceasingly."

Coming out in the Open

Msgr. John Esseff, a priest for 63 years and an exorcist in the Diocese of Scranton, Pa. for over 40 years, said the face of the devil that is becoming more clearly seen in public. Previously, he said we saw more of what he calls an apathetic demon that appeals to the lower weaknesses of human nature such as the sexual revolution and all that comes with it.

"Then, came the apostate demon," Msgr. Esseff said, "that denies the sacrificial nature of human life is possible. We are told we will never able to achieve this kind of holiness or goodness or unity-it just can't be done," he said. "This is a real apostasy; not just in politics but also in churches, convincing people that holiness is unattainable."

Now, according to Msgr. Esseff, we are seeing the stage of the antichrist where the evil one is not afraid to show himself to humanity. Msgr. Esseff referred to Scripture: "This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world." (1 John 4: 2-3)

"It's not Trump they are against but Jesus," Msgr. Esseff said. "The devil is saying, 'no way are you reigning in this country, we are coming out against you!'"

The spell is nothing to fear if our trust and our hope is in God, Msgr. Esseff said. "Anyone who would even begin to put God back into place is going to have the forces of hell against them," he said. "Our Lady of Fatima has given us the key to deal with this: Increase prayer and reparation [such as making Five First Saturdays].

"It's the Fatima message and it's coming at this time of the 100th year anniversary much more clearly," Msgr. Esseff said. "Our Lady warned us about it at Fatima where she said the final battle will be against marriage and the family. This is not about politics, it's about God."
