Salem, Mass. —
Charlie Sheen has garnered hundreds of headlines recently, but his comments to the media have particularly vexed witches and warlocks in Salem.
Sheen, the star of the hit CBS show "Two and a Half Men," referred to himself as a warlock at least twice during interviews over the past week.
"Warlock is not a battle cry, that's not what the word means," said Salem warlock Christian Day, emphasizing that most witches and warlocks consider witchcraft to be a religion — and a peaceful one at that.
Since local witches began speaking out against Sheen's comments, Day said he's gotten numerous requests to comment from national media.
In fact, a story about the Salem witches' reaction, along with a photo of Day, were featured Wednesday on the homepage of TMZ.com, a prominent celebrity news site.
Sheen described himself as a "warlock" during a "Today Show" interview and also during one with radio host Alex Jones.
Some Salem witches are planning a ritual on Sunday, March 6, that they expect will dissuade Sheen from misusing the word warlock in the future. They also intend for the ritual to help Sheen cleanse himself of the negativity they believe is poisoning him.
"We want to try save him, as well as not have ourselves slandered," said Laurie Stathopoulos, a witch who goes by the name Lorelei.
Sheen, who has been troubled by drug and alcohol abuse in the past, told the "Today Show" he cured himself of addiction. His estranged wife filed a restraining order against him on behalf of herself and their twin 2-year-old sons. She claimed Sheen had abused her and made violent comments that made her fear for the family's safety.
Using the 'w-word'
The problems started last Thursday, Feb. 24 during Sheen's now-notorious radio interview with Alex Jones. Sheen described himself and Jones as "high priests, Vatican assassin warlocks."
"What they're not ready for is guys like you and I and Nails and all the other gnarly gnarlingtons in my life, that we are high priests, Vatican assassin warlocks," the 45-year-old actor said. "Boom. Print that, people. See where that goes."
Jones attempted to clarify Sheen's comment at that point, stating that it was a reference to something that happened in the past. He said that one day, he and Sheen were looking into some rumors someone had made up about them. The misinformation claimed Jones and Sheen and others worked for the Pope and were assassins for the Vatican.
"That's kind of the roots of that..." Jones explained.
Sheen may have intended the "Vatican assassin warlocks" comment to be sarcastic, but the context may not be clear to many listeners.
The comment came during a part of the conversation that was peppered with violent imagery, something Day disliked.
"I was shocked," he said.
Day added that the word "warlock" originally referred to men who interacted with the spirit world. He said it was later used for men who defied the rise of Christianity by adhering to pagan traditions and deities.
Sheen's media blitz continued through this week as he addressed his much-publicized dispute with CBS, which has suspended production of the next season of "Two and a Half Men."
During a "Today Show" interview on Monday, Sheen said CBS has forced him to "go to war" with the network.
"They picked a fight with a warlock," Sheen said.
The actor's second use of the word warlock further upset local witches and warlocks.
A healing ritual for Charlie Sheen
Christian Day's initial reaction to Sheen's comments was anger. He said his fellow witches helped him see that the best path was a response that stays true to witchcraft — by which they mean healing and peace.
For that reason, a group of witches will gather at 3 p.m. on Sunday at Crow Haven Corner, 125 Essex St. Owned by Laurie Cabot, who is famous in witchcraft circles around the world, Crow Haven Corner is promoted as the first witch shop in Salem.
The ceremony is primarily for witches, but if there is extra space, members of the public will be allowed to attend.
Christian Day said the local witches wouldn't do anything like a hex or a curse, but rather, they will cast a spell that "puts the bee in the bonnet, psychically."
The goal is "to bind him so he doesn't use the word warlock in a negative way anymore," Day said.
Lorelei Stathopoulos, who used to be a fan of "Two and a Half Men," said she's worried that Sheen is close to death; that "his soul is starting to wander to the other side."
Stathopoulos said each witch at the ritual this weekend will play a role in helping restore balance and peace to Sheen, so that he can use his talents and his fame for good in the world.
Bringing forth good things and suppressing dark forces is "what we do as witches every day,"she said.
On the "Today Show," Sheen said his passion in recent interviews is being misinterpreted as anger, but local witches aren't convinced.
Sheen's is "a hurting spirit," according to Lori Bruno, a witch who says the tradition was passed to her from her ancestors, who were "stregas," or witches, in Italy.
"The main thing is to help Charlie, to make things positive for him, to take away anything that is negative," she said of the ritual.
