Threats to harm to a federal official are illegal.
It would first have to be determined to be a
credible threat.
"I put a curse on you" has about as much credibility as "My thoughts and prayers are with you".
First, you need a lot of money for lawyers even if you're ultimately innocent.
Secondly, holding a meeting, where threats are made like, "physical harm will come to Judge K" is arguably illegal.
We don't know how the curse will be fulfilled, maybe someone in the coven decides to buy a gun, and fulfill the "curse", or maybe they hope one person out of these 700,000 people are nuts enough to make it happen.
(Sidenote: you see this in several Agatha Christie novels, someone uses a "curse" to hide a real a murder plot).
