Some journalists like Keith Olbermann at MSNBC and Anderson Cooper at CNN have been speaking out lately against the immoral and greedy behavior of our current national misleadership, yet we need quite a few more like them to dig out the dirt on corrupt candidates in time to penetrate the public&#8217;s consciousness between now and November.<\/p>\n<p>So pick a favorite journalist, local if you live in a state with critical races taking place, or national if you don&#8217;t, download and print out a photo of them from their company website, and do whatever style of spell you do best to grant them more curiosity, courage, and tenacity. These are all virtues that every journalist should have, so think of the work as a blessing, not any kind of compulsion. Appropriate deities to invoke might include Hermes\/Mercury, Thoth\/Tahuti, Heimdall, Pandora, Ellegua\/Exu\/Legba, etc.<\/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>If you read our previous postings below, you&#8217;ll know that Tuesday night (09\/19) we&#8217;re doing a spell to increase the curiosity, courage, and tenacity of local and national journalists. <a href=\"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/2006\/09\/18\/tuesdays-spell-for-democracy\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-97","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-magic","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
