Voodoo priest hopes to reverse ‘Curse of the Mambino’ as Mets try ending 11-game losing streak
A Voodoo King descended on Citi Field Tuesday, using a goat’s head and black magic to try to undo the dreaded Curse of the Mambino that saw the Mets lose 11 straight games — but his efforts fell short.
Michael Washington, who goes by the name Tata Tilk, wore a black cloak and used a cauldron outside the stadium to try undo the socialist sorcery fuming fans believe was unleashed when Mayor Zohran Mamdani hugged mascots Mr. and Mrs. Met on April 9.
“These spells that were put on the Mets team came from dark entities, so it’s going to take dark entities to remove it,” Washington told The Post.
“I’m going to do a full reversal and send it back to the witches and wizards that sent it, because it was more than one person that actually did the affliction on the team,” he added, explaining that one of those warlocks was the fledgling mayor himself.
“I’m removing Mayor Mamdani’s malevolent witchcraft. I’m getting his name, date of birth, things like that, and getting the curse he placed on the team when he hugged the mascot away from the team.”
But the dark powers enveloping the Mets were not going down without a fight.
Despite Washington’s enthusiastic approach, the Mets curse wasn’t lifted Tuesday. The team blew another lead and were defeated 5-3 by the Minnesota Twins for their 12th loss in a row.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
