Every <strong>Monday<\/strong> 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 &#8220;mainstream&#8221; 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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>If none of this makes any sense, or seems somehow &#8220;unethical&#8221; \u2014 imagine forcing politicians to run honest campaigns! \u2014 you may wish to read my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neopagan.net\/SpellsforDemocracy.html\">Spells for Democracy<\/a> page. Those of you who&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>Let the light of Truth and Justice shine out brightly!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Between now and February 5th is a good time to do revelation spells on all the US party candidates for the presidential nominations.
