The Seattle Mariners are on a magical run.

They've walked off back to back games, in the 13th and then the 12th innings, respectively. And they've won six games in a row entering Friday night. They may have an Etsy witch to credit for their success.

The Mariners headed into last Saturday in a major rut (six losses in seven).

And then, an X user posted a screenshot of correspondence with a witch on the selling website Etsy. It showed that a spell had been purchased for $19.99 to help the Mariners “get their act together and start winning baseball games again, and hopefully make their way to the World Series and win.”

The witch, under the username SpellByLuna, responded: “I completed my spell with my best materials for you. It was a ritual process full of beautiful energies, dear, everything is fine. Now all you need to do is to stay positive and accept the manifestation of the spell.”

It didn't take long. In the six games since the spell:

  • Mariners 10, Braves 2
  • Mariners 18, Braves 2
  • Mariners 4, Cardinals 2
  • Mariners 5, Cardinals 3
  • Mariners 4, Cardinals 2
  • Mariners 7, Angels 6

The Mariners' social media team noticed:

There are a few weeks left in the regular season, and the Mariners are tied for the AL West lead (and sitting in the last wild card spot, as they're technically behind the Astros by tiebreaker). Time to keep the magic going.
