WITCH VS WITCH
Some believe that Germany’s failure to invade Britain during the Second World War was due to the intervention of Britain’s magic practitioners, organised by Dion Fortune (see FT267:34-41). Whether or not that was the case, witches on both sides of the Ukraine war have now mobilised to support their countries.
In what seems more like a media stunt than an actual magical working, on 12 March the “Great Witches of Russia” held a general council in support of Vladimir Putin. This involved more than 100 witches gathering in Moscow and carrying out a 20-minute ritual to boost Putin and Russia, filmed by Russian TV. Presided over by Aljona Polin, who was described as “Russia’s leading witch”, the participants, dressed in matching darkthe people and in the country, and there cannot be a negative president… we have done our rituals in the time and in the proportions that are needed at the moment, with the aim of improving the lives of people in the world through Russia’s commitment”. Interviewed about her actions, a participant named only as Afrodita said, “In everything, as a citizen of Russia, I have no right to question the decisions of those who govern us, I always agree with those above us.”
