Witches have launched a campaign to cast binding spells against President Donald Trump every month until he is removed from office.

A Facebook group devoted to the campaign has already attracted over 10,500 likes, while a document containing instructions on how to perform the ritual has been widely shared online.

"I call upon you to bind Donald J Trump, so that his malignant works may fail utterly, that he may do no harm to any human soul, nor any tree, animal, rock, stream or Sea," part of the document read, according to the Independent.

Witches across the U.S. have already performed a mass spell last Friday. and some have gathered outside Trump Tower in New York, but it failed to attract a crowd. The witches plan to carry out the same ritual at midnight on every waning crescent moon. The next scheduled spells will be cast on March 26, April 24 and May 23, The Daily Mail reported.

Singer Lana Del Rey appeared to be supporting the campaign as she had tweeted a photo of herself, along with a caption that referenced the ritual dates.

"At the stroke of midnight. Feb 24, March 26, April 24, May 23... Ingredients can be found online," she wrote.

Ingredients required to perform the spell include an unflattering photo of Trump, a tiny orange candle, a Tower tarot card, bowls of water and salt, and a pin to carve out the president's name on the candle.

Some witches have expressed concern whether it is appropriate to cast a binding spell against the President.

On the Mass Spell to Bind Facebook page, one woman warned that "the spell can, and should rebound on everyone participating." The woman claimed that she had been practicing the religion for 45 years before she told other witches that they were "wrong" to contemplate the spell.

Evangelical supporters of Trump have called on other Christians to pray for the president to counteract the spells.

"We ask you to join us in praying for the strength of our nation, our elected representatives and for the souls of the lost who would take up Satanic arms against us," wrote Kevin Ambrose, Founder of the Christian Nationalist Alliance.
