Curse the Shrub!

So, I was just wondering if anyone has experimented with cursing President Bush. I don't really feel comfortable with curses (seeing that they've worked frighteningly well from time to time), but the world is a scary place right now, and every bit of ameliorating effort helps, right?

But anyway, if you were to, I dunno, write his name in blood and stick it in the mouth of a rotten fish, burn a couple of black candles, e-mail Yog-Sothoth or some other nasty character for help, well, tell me about it. I'm curious. What methods would you use?

I tend not to even consider cursing people...they tend to get what they deserve over time, even if I don't know about it.

Bush may be running things with an iron fist now, but look at how others of his ilk are remembered by7 history. He'll be lucky if he's forgotten instead of thought of as the leader of an assault on the Constitution...and all the "tell-all" books going into his alcohol problems will make the Kennedy books look kind.

He's Nixon with a Texas accent.

I agree with the Cavalier. There's certainly a minority of people who interact with me on a much more personal level than Bush who are screaming out for "cursing" or other war magick. I don't feel comfortable with getting awl nasty in such a way with anyone if only for the fact that it drags you down to a petty and miserable level.

Any magick I get involved with is with a positive intent and it always seems to come out right in the end.

Might I suggest instead a working to give the Pres Wisdom and foresight? God knows, he could do with some, and I'd rather that than a yet more pissed off and irritable President with bubos.

I agree that there might be more productive targets, in world peace terms, than Bush.

You know, Cheney's not exactly healthy. Wouldn't take much to push him over the edge. According to the propaganda, anyway.

Save your juice for the next election. You have to get the whole party out, not just the figureheads.

Haus's coments reminded me of a great experiment that British magazine Encyclopedia Psychedelia tried a few years back - they printed a Magick Maggie Thatcher doll with chakras, and then encouraged readers to attempt to open Maggie's heart by piercing the heart chakra on a set time/date. Didn't work obviously, but worth a shot.

Other than that I agree with most of the other statements - Bush is just a figurehead, for the Great Beast that is America's Miltary-Industrial complex. If he did start acting humanely, I'm sure they'd just shoot him/ depose him anyhow.

*You* guys are going to hex a world leader? You dear naive things. Don't you know what they've got on their side?

Been focusing on averting yet another Christmas time strike against Iraq. So far, so good. Bush will destroy himself.

I'm with Mordant on this one.

I don't know what Skull and Bones is, but it doesn't sound like an ogranization I want to annoy. Especially since, whatever they do, they've gotten two out of the last three presidencies.

Naw. Throw your weight in on the side you favor. Every little bit helps and surely these evil Republican demons have bigger fish to fry.
