Two masters of the dark arts will have their day in court today, as a judge will hear the case between a self-proclaimed “witch priestess” and the world’s “best known warlock”.

Lori Sforza, 75, alleges that Christian Day has been harassing her with late night phone calls and malicious posts via social media, the AP reports.

According to Sfroza’s website, she is a clairvoyant, psychic, and descendant from Italian witches who cured the plague. She owns a witchcraft shop and is a leading member and organizer of the Pagan church in town.

The man she said has been harassing her is Day, 45, a self-proclaimed warlock who lives in Louisiana, but is very involved in the Salem witch scene. He owns his own occult store in town and is also organizing Salem’s Festival of the Dead, which leads into the Official Salem Witches Halloween Night Ball.

The two parties have previously worked together. In 2011, the pair got media attention after they performed spells on the actor Charlie Sheen, who had said in a televised interview he was a “Vatican assassin warlock”.

“She’s being abused, intimidated and harassed,” Sfroza’s attorney Fiore Porreca said bout Day’s alleged actions.

Day’s lawyer did not make a statement or comment.

The judge will decide today if Sfroza’s complaints classify as harassment and whether she will need court ordered protection.

Salem infamous for the witch trails, which took place during the 17th century. During that time, women were murdered in cruel and unusual ways after being suspected of practicing witchcraft and the dark arts.
