This does not mean exclusively on Republican ones, but on any candidates and support personnel who are actively working for multinational corporations and billionaires against (small-D) democracy. Since their power depends on repeating lies over and over again, making them accidentally speak their real minds in front of microphones and cameras is one of the best ways to expose their malevolence and their fascist agendas.<\/p>\n<p>Trickster deities such as Coyote, Loki, or Ellegua are the appropriate ones to invoke, as well as truth-telling deities such as Athena, Tyr, or Obatala. Use whatever pantheon you are most comfortable with and focus on local or regional candidates near you. Since most of the corporate candidates are also anti-environmental, you can pull your local nature spirits into the mix.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you reading this who have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about, visit our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.neopagan.net\/SpellsforDemocracy.html\">Spells for Democracy<\/a> page here at neopagan.net and\/or join our <a href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/groups\/Spells-for-Democracy\">Spells-for-Democracy egroup<\/a> at yahoogroups.com.<\/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>(09\/26) Tonight we&#8217;re doing a &#8220;klutzokinesis&#8221; spell on opposition candidates and  political party spin-masters to make them accidentally speak truth in public.  <a href=\"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/2006\/09\/26\/tonights-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-98","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-magic","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98","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=98"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
