Thousands of witches around the country congregated on February 24, 2017 to cast a compelling spell on Donald Trump. While taking part in the mass enchantment, singer Lana Del Rey encouraged her supporters on social media to take part in the event too. The rallies which have since become a monthly practice, take place on the night of the vanishing crescent moon as soon as midnight approaches.

In the past witches were burnt or at very least demoted to the sidelines of the society. However, nowadays witchiness has not only turned mainstream and used as a philosophy, a personal style and a form of self-care but it has also won patina of cool.

Currently outwards approval is not a concern among witches. Their lives focus on their craft and their own pleasure as they build their identities choosing metaphysically or aesthetically at a time. The titular witch known as The Master and Margarita becomes that way by rubbing demon’s cream all over her body and taking off to fly into the night comes from Mikhail Bulgakov.
