A 75-year-old witch priestess is taking the "world’s best-known warlock" to court on Wednesday over alleged harassment, marking a tragic turn for the former business associates. Lori Sforza, a pagan church leader and witchcraft shop owner in Salem, filed for protection against further harassment from self-proclaimed warlock Christian Day. The 45-year-old warlock once worked with Sforza in 2011 in an attempt to heal the then-troubledCharlie Sheen, who once revealed during an interview that he had been afflicted with the burden of becoming a "Vatican assassin warlock," according to the Associated Press.
Sforza says Day has been harassing her via "malicious posts" on social media and phone calls from a private number. "She’s being abused, intimidated, and harassed," Fiore Porreca, Sforza’s lawyer, tells reporters. The prominent Salem witch also describes herself as a "psychic and a clairvoyant," building on her family history of Italian witches who reportedly assisted in healing bubonic plague victims many years ago.
Though he resides in Louisiana, Day is the founder of Salem’s popular Festival of the Dead, which includes the Salem Witches’ Halloween Ball and a witchcraft fair. Of course, Salem has a profitable tourism business built almost entirely around matters of the occult and is home to a multitude of witch-related shops, museums, and popular Halloween attractions. A Salem District Court judge is set to hear Sforza’s case on Wednesday and decide on issuing a protection order. Day’s lawyer refused to comment to AP.
