Beyonce, the latest female singer to be accused of Witchcraft: an analysis

TWH – Singer and songwriter Beyoncé is the latest star to be accused of Witchcraft. News stories published by online media sources and tabloids explain that former drummer Kimberly Thompson is suing the singer for using “extreme Witchcraft” to control her and her finances. The reports also state that the ex-band member claims that Beyoncé used dark magic to stage a campaign of harassment against her.



Beyoncé has not made a public statement in response, and Thompson was denied the requested restraining order. However, now Beyoncé joins a long list of other female performers who have been accused of Witchcraft for one reason or another.

<snip>
As noted earlier, witchcraft accusations have different consequences and are used differently across cultures and countries. In the U.S., such accusations are more commonly used publicly against strong and powerful women, such as Madonna, Beyoncé, Perry, and, in politics, Hillary Clinton. These women are handed a proverbial big capital W to wear around town.

Whether Beyoncé or the others practice Witchcraft is not the point, as noted. They may; they may not. In these cases, the word is simply being used as a slur suggesting an intent to commit an evil act. Beyoncé is being accused of Witchcraft by someone who has or believes she has reportedly suffered in some way at the singer’s hands. The word is being weaponized.

my great, great etc grandmother was the only woman accused of witchcraft in PA in 1683. She was acquitted by William Penn himself. Apparently her neighbors reported seeing their livestock (cows, etc) floating/levitating. She was acquitted because the evidence to convict her "dissapeared". I like knowing this since I do monthly binding spells on tRump and this gives me the hope that my spells may have some impact.
