Last year, theories about the spiritual energy around Charlie Kirk spread like wildfire the week of his death. Megyn Kelly appeared on Jack Posobiec’s show, relaying her conversation with Charlie’s wife, Erika, in Arizona: the Kirks had contacted a priest after learning about how a Jezebel writer had hired Etsy witches to curse Charlie 48 hours before his death.

“My own takeaway as a friend of hers and as a Christian, was that this was an evil act,” Kelly told Posobiec. “I also happen to feel there is a possibility that they opened a very dark door.”

But other observers — including, surprisingly, conservative Christian ones — turned not to Etsy witchcraft for an explanation, but another facet of the occult: astrology.
