Global Spell Casting Day
Status: Publicity stunt/superstition
An organization named witchschool.com has announced that on May 5th, 2006 an experiment in global spell casting will take place:Hundreds of participants around the world will focus their energy to manifest love, peace, prosperity and hope for the world. With this unified act of will, they anticipate that magic energy will fill people with personal power and create events that will lead to a better world. "We need no longer wait to see if magic is real or not", according to Ed Hubbard, CEO of Witch School, "We can test it through such global experiments, but instead of looking for data, I am looking forward to hearing the experiences people will have through this day of divine manifestation. I believe it will move the way we think about the world and how it works."
I am sure that this will have about as much effect as Not One Damn Dime Day or World Jump Day.
