Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
As if he didn’t have enough problems already, a sisterhood of queer witches have banded together to place a hex on Pharma-Bro Martin Shkreli for being a greedy, price-gouging douce bag.
“This is a person who flouts the justice system, and whose affluence shields them from being accountable,” witchcraft enthusiast Howl told the Daily Dot. “And they’re really pugnacious about it, and really jerky about it.”

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The hex, which took place in Brooklyn on Ash Wednesday, included a wax effigy of Shkreli, along with a formula of hexing oil and different herbs mixed into a concoction, as well as a cloth doll bound with cords of black fabric, and some chanting.
Howl explained that the hex was not meant to hurt Shkreli, but rather to restore karma in the world.
“When people think of casting hexes, it’s like dark and scary magic, the black arts, and they don’t want to get near that,” she said. “When in reality all we’re trying to do is get justice. The hex is not to bring anyone harm, but to make sure justice is served, and that there is a balance, and that balance is restored.”
Howl says she ultimately hopes the hex “sends a broader message” to the universe.
“Let’s get together and not just heal ourselves and each other through this process, which is a cathartic process, but also let’s enact justice in a way that we can, as spiritual beings who are empowered to change reality,” she said.
Sounds good to us.

Oh! LOOK, What are those things crawling from out his ears, nose and mouth? DISGUSTING! The hex is working !!!

Shkreli is WAY more evil than the witches.

WTF now people are drawing pix of MARTIN SHKRELI and selling them for over a billion dollars?

This is news? Between Huffington Post queer voices and query, the only actual gay news is gay star. This is officially pathetic.

Did they give him those horrible expressions?

Yeah you’re laughing now, but just you wait until Jan 20, 2017 when President Trump and VP Shkreli take their oaths of office.

Wish they’d put a hex on the whole industry rather than focusing on an individual, or better yet, magically vote for people who wouldn’t let big pharma do what it does.

So a sisterhood of queer witches have banded together to place a hex?
Let me guess. Hillary or Bernie supporters?

Can they do another HEX on Kim Davis???

Shkreli is his own worst enemy. Pathological.
Ummmm Yeah
Well if they are “queer” in stead of saying they are gay, lesbian or bisexual like those words are dirty or something, they are nearly as big of assholes as he is.
Christophe Eristoff Devalckeneer
No hex needed, karma’s still a bitch.
Chris
@Ummmm Yeah: The use of the term “queer” in the headline seems like a way of saying that the group is mixed: not all of any one sexual identity.
Michael Davis
They could just conjure up a cure for HIV/AIDS? Or is that thinking unrealistically as well?
hughhai
Watching the Vice interview with Shkrelli shifted my opinion of him significantly. I don’t like being fed people to hate by the media, and this guy has certainly been painted as a one dimensional character of evil – and we haven’t been given the whole picture.
Jeames Granger
pretty sure he has to have a soul for it to work ð???

@Antony Nguyen: Hi there – male or female, practitioners are actually called witches – its a non-gendered term. That bothered people, so warlock appeared. Old English w?rloga meaning “oathbreaker” or “deceiver” is the probable origin of warlock according to most linguists who have studied the word. In common parlance that replaced witch for male practicioners, although increasingly the original non-gendered form of witch is regaining prominence.
Kind thoughts,

@Michael Davis: While a wonderful idea, the various cures and treatments used by witches historically were herbal in nature generally.It is of course one of the ways that practitioners of the old faith were found for execution during the inquisition (knowledge of herbs and medicine at the time).

@Ummmm Yeah: Hardly, queer is increasingly ued among the young as a synonym for the alphabet soup of sexualities, making them all equal if you would.

@Alistair Wiseman: Or Trump. Its important that we on the Left never forget that Trump would not exist as a political figure if it were not for GOProud back when it existed. In fact the former head of the organization just recently apologized for that. I know gay men now who back him.

Alistair, you are so frustrated, bitter, and powerless these days, relegated to sniper shots here and there. The GOP is going extinct. The flaming meteor has already taken out the Tedious Right, and the ancient snapping-turtle (Mitch McConnell) is the last chelydra serpintina left crawling in Washington D.C.
1EqualityUSA
Hermes, always a pleasure to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by. Don’t be such a stranger.

@Alistair Wiseman: How about the idiots that support your parties? They always talk about not being witches… I still remember that Christine O’Donnell ad. So is Trump done talking about his penis size?
The GOP is headed to utter disaster!

@GC1985:
You stated, “How about the idiots that support your parties?”
How many “parties” do you think I support!?!
@GC1985:
You stated, “BTW, I am indeed back. Lost the password on my old account….”
Gosh, and we are so better for it.

which witch is which??? lol Witches are witches …no self respecting male witch would call himself a warlock, unless he was just a dabbler or a dungeons and dragons fan or magic geek…..wizard possibly but rare.

@Alistair Wiseman: That post was made on a cellphone, you brainless hack.
Autocorrect is autocorrect.
I must say autocorrect was completely accurate! You support several parties… Stormfront, the Klan (DAVID DUKE!) and the Republican Party.
David Duke is a typical Trump supporter.

Alistair is almost as bad as Bernie Sander supporters grasping at the straws. Don’t count the superdelegates. Forget about the superdelegates. Hillary still has a 200+ delegate lead after tonight lol. More than what Obama had at this point in 2008.
Alistair has logic worse than many Sander and Trump supporters.
Catherine Gordon
Got it coming, what goes around ,comes around, Pharma Bro. As for queer, okay…we’re all queer.

The hex is redundant. The evil fairy, Maleficent, already bestowed upon him the gift of “douche bag” at birth.

@GC1985: You mustn’t worry about poor Alistair…He is a poor, misguided soul.
He supports Ted Cruz for President. He has supported him since his little rally with the owner’s of the Fireside Inn. He has clearly lost his way. He will say he supports Cruz’ views on Israel (total bullshit…obfuscation of the truth).
Unlike the “allegations” between Trump and Cruz, I will say it…Alistair is Blowing Cruz (figuratively of course)!
