A Bernie Sanders event in Portland, Oregon is inviting wiccans, Druids, heathens and atheists to a “Ritual for Bernie” to “raise the energy” of his presidential campaign:
“Clearly you're feeling the Bern. Maybe you're a Wiccan? Pagan? Goddess worshiper? Heathen? Druid? Spiritual but not religious? Secular Jew? Spiritually open minded? Unafiliated? Athiest who likes ritual? Other? And you would like to engage with a community of like minded individuals to raise the energy of the Bernie Sanders vibration to a higher frequency and ultimately change the world for our children, grandchildren, and all future generations. I hear you!”
The event is aptly set for Friday 13th in a place called Woodstock Park – and, spelling errors aside, appears to be legitimate, since it claims to be “Paid for by Bernie 2016” and lists both a “Contribute” button and Sanders’ official campaign mailing address.
Back in February, InfoWars ran a story about “Satanists for Bernie 2016,” but the Facebook post may have been a hoax and has since been removed.
As for his part, Sanders is quoted by the Washington Post as saying he has no formal religion:
“I am not actively involved with organized religion,” Sanders said in a recent interview.
“I am what I am,” he said. “And what I believe in, and what my spirituality is about, is that we’re all in this together.”
