Charlie Sheen has garnered hundreds of headlines recently, but his comments to the media have particularly vexed witches and warlocks in Salem.
Sheen, the star of the hit CBS show “Two and a Half Men,” referred to himself as a warlock at least twice during interviews over the past week.
“Warlock is not a battle cry, that’s not what the word means,” said Salem warlock Christian Day, emphasizing that most witches and warlocks consider witchcraft to be a religion — and a peaceful one at that.
Since local witches began speaking out against Sheen’s comments, Day said he’s gotten numerous requests to comment from national media.
In fact, a story about the Salem witches’ reaction, along with a photo of Day, were featured Wednesday on the homepage of TMZ.com, a prominent celebrity news site.
Sheen described himself as a “warlock” during a “Today Show” interview and also during one with radio host Alex Jones.
Some Salem witches are planning a ritual on Sunday, March 6, that they expect will dissuade Sheen from misusing the word warlock in the future. They also intend for the ritual to help Sheen cleanse himself of the negativity they believe is poisoning him.
“We want to try save him, as well as not have ourselves slandered,” said Laurie Stathopoulos, a witch who goes by the name Lorelei.
