A peculiar debate has emerged on the subreddit WitchesVsPatriarchy, where self-identified witches are expressing their frustration over their inability to cast successful spells against former President Donald J. Trump. These Reddit users claim that Trump is shielded by a mysterious “protection” that makes him immune to their magical efforts.
The online conversation began when one user proposed that instead of targeting Trump directly, fellow witches should focus their efforts on Project 2025, a controversial policy plan backed by the Heritage Foundation. Though Trump has distanced his campaign from the initiative, it remains closely associated with him, thanks to figures like Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, who have drawn connections between Trump and the project. The witch encouraged others to cast spells in support of Harris and the Democratic Party, expressing concern over polling numbers that show Trump’s strength in the upcoming election.
In the post, the user also advised participants not to use her username when discussing their magical efforts, adding to the air of secrecy around the matter. The post quickly gained traction, ultimately being shared on Elon Musk’s X platform, where it garnered over 1.7 million views.

The revelation of Trump’s alleged “protection” prompted a flurry of reactions on social media. Many users speculated about what form this protective shield might take. Some joked about mystical barriers, while others explored more serious interpretations, linking the claims to religious undertones.
One notable group that has voiced support for Trump in a spiritual context is the organization Catholics for Catholics. Recently, they launched a billboard campaign encouraging prayers for America’s leaders, with a particular emphasis on Trump. The campaign called upon the protection of St. Michael the Archangel, a powerful figure in Catholicism known as the commander of the heavenly host.
In September, Trump himself fueled the speculation by sharing a traditional Catholic prayer to St. Michael on social media. The prayer calls upon the archangel to “defend us in battle” and to “cast into hell Satan and all evil spirits.” Trump’s post, viewed by millions, connected his political identity to spiritual warfare, suggesting that a higher power was at play in his battle against political opposition.
Trump’s social media post read: “Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.”

The religious imagery and symbolism surrounding Trump’s campaign have sparked renewed interest in the intersection of faith and politics. For his supporters, Trump’s invocation of St. Michael is seen as a sign of strength and resilience, aligning him with divine protection in a time of intense political conflict.
While some see these mystical and religious elements as symbolic, others have speculated that Trump’s appeal to St. Michael might be more than just a prayer. The belief that Trump is being shielded by a supernatural force—whether it be spiritual or otherwise—has captivated the imagination of his base and even his detractors.
Among those intrigued by the idea of Trump’s “protection” are members of the online witchcraft community, who continue to question why their efforts to hex Trump have failed. The discussion on Reddit has spurred a wave of memes and satirical posts, with some users even speculating that Trump is working with his own magical forces.
In addition to the mystical speculation, there’s a deeper political message. Trump’s connection to Project 2025, whether real or perceived, has ignited a debate about the future of American policy under conservative leadership. As witches target the policy agenda in their rituals, it underscores the growing anxiety among progressive activists about the direction the U.S. might take should Trump win re-election.
For now, the witches of WitchesVsPatriarchy appear to be at a standstill in their battle against Trump, stymied by what they claim to be a mysterious, impenetrable force. Whether it’s divine intervention, a psychological phenomenon, or simply Trump’s resilience in the face of opposition, one thing is clear: the former president remains a figure of fascination, not just politically, but spiritually as well.
As Election Day approaches, the intersection of mysticism, faith, and politics only adds to the ongoing drama surrounding Trump’s campaign. Whether or not his “protection” holds through the 2024 election, the debate over the role of spirituality in political power is far from over.
That protection is from God. Witchcraft is real and can be powerful, but it’s nothing compared to the power of God and his Angels. Sad that these evil practitioners of the dark arts don’t realize the battle is already lost for them, the outcome already known. Truth and love always prevails over lies and hate.
