BOSTON — A Salem, Mass., woman who calls herself a witch priestess said she is taking a self-proclaimed warlock to court over accusations of harassment.
Lori Sforza, who runs a Salem witchcraft shop and leads a pagan church, filed for court-ordered protection against harassment from Christian Day, whose website calls him the “world’s best-known warlock.” Sforza accused Day of harassing her online and over the phone for three years. The two will meet in court Wednesday.
A lawyer representing Day declined to comment. Day owns occult shops in Salem and New Orleans, according to his website. His lawyer said he lives in Louisiana.
The 75-year-old Sforza
calls herself a psychic and a clairvoyant. She claims to be a descendent of Italian witches who has healed victims of the bubonic plague.
Sforza and Day, 45, were once business associates and made headlines in 2011 when they cast spells together to try to heal actor Charlie Sheen, who had called himself a “Vatican assassin warlock.”
