On August 14th, a member of our Spells for Democracy<\/a> e-list made a suggestion for a series of weekly workings on Tuesdays between then and Election Day. Here’s the list of Tuesday assignments that she posted on 8\/14, with a few additions for gaps:<\/p>\n

(08\/15) Glamour to improve candidate’s charisma, attract attention (past)
\n(08\/22) Wit, skill and intellect to handle all that new attention, can be combined with #1
\n(08\/29) Press awareness, wipe the veils from their eyes, do their job right
\n(09\/05) Enchant money to spread the energy & bring in donations
\n(09\/12) Leave pictures of the opposition in the hot sun and call on the light of
\nTruth to expose their evil
\n(09\/19) Spell to increase curiosity, courage, and tenacity of local and national journalists
\n(09\/26) Klutzokinesis spell on opposition candidates, political party spin- masters to make them accidentally speak truth in public
\n(10\/03) Spell to encourage whistle-blowing at the Diebold corporation about secret programming and hacking plans for their voting machines
\n(10\/10) Call on the Founders, Lady Liberty, Columbia, Justice and the other
\nspirits of America for help
\n(10\/17) Release the salamanders! (undoing damage of gerrymandering)
\n(10\/24) Set up an energy matrix on the astral around all polling places to
\nensure fairness
\n(10\/31) Offerings to powerful Changemaker deities like Sekhmet, Kali, etc.
\n(11\/07) Big honkin’ spell-casting all day long combining the first 12 workings
\n(or as much participation as you can manage) & nighttime results vigil<\/p>\n

Remember in all cases, having photographs of the people we are targeting is a big help. You can also use campaign flyers, images of donkeys (or an elephant when appropriate), etc.<\/p>\n
