I’ve been reading the pamphlet, Radical Witchcraft: Oppression and Resistance, which I picked up a few years ago at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle, Cornwall. Lots of good stuff, including this Hitler pincushion:

A picture of a book page open to a figure showing a Hitler pincushion; Hitler is bent at the waist and pins are sticking into his rump

According to the booklet,

Several types of this pin cushion were sold in the US. They quickly became popular after President Roosevelt acquired one for this desk.

Somehow I had never heard about this half-silly, half-serious act of antifascist magic in the Oval Office. Tuck it away in the “Magic and Resistance” file.
